6. Third-Party Cookies
Third parties may set cookies when you use their features:
- Google Maps (Google Ireland Limited) — embedded on Contact. See Google Privacy Policy and Google Cookies.
- Analytics or marketing providers — only if you consent and we enable such tools.
- CDN resources (e.g. icon fonts) may log technical requests at the network level.
We do not control third-party cookies. Check the relevant provider’s policy for opt-out mechanisms.
7. How to Give, Refuse, or Withdraw Consent
On your first visit (and until you make a choice), a banner offers three options of equal prominence:
- Accept all — enables analytics and marketing technologies;
- Reject — only strictly necessary technologies remain active;
- Manage Preferences — choose categories individually (necessary always on).
Rejecting non-essential cookies is as easy as accepting — a requirement under ICO guidance. You may change or withdraw consent at any time via the footer link Manage Preferences, the button below, or by clearing site data in your browser (delete the tdde_cookie_consent localStorage entry). See ICO public guidance at ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies/.
8. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Methods vary: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge each provide privacy settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent some site features from working.
9. Retention
Consent records: up to 12 months unless you clear them sooner. Session cookies: deleted when you close the browser. Third-party retention: see provider policies.
10. Personal Data and Your Rights
Where cookies identify you or are linked to identifiable individuals, they involve personal data under UK GDPR. You have rights of access, erasure, objection, and others — see our Privacy Policy. Contact chat@elbowdetox.world or complain to the ICO (helpline 0303 123 1113, ico.org.uk).
11. Google Ads and Remarketing Cookies

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change technologies or legal requirements. Check the “Last updated” date. Material changes may be highlighted on the website.
