1. Introduction
Like the majority of websites, the Curo Pharmacy website (www.curopharmacy.com) uses cookies to enhance your experience and to help us improve the service we provide.
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember things about your visit — such as your preferences and any pages you've viewed — which makes your next visit smoother and more useful.
This Cookies Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle the personal information we may collect through these cookies.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for several reasons:
- To understand which parts of our website need improvement
- To collect information about how you use our website
- To improve your experience by personalising content where appropriate
- To enable certain functions (such as the embedded Google map showing our location)
- To keep our site secure and detect unusual activity
3. Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. Without them, parts of the site may not work correctly. They may include cookies that maintain your session, store your accessibility preferences, or remember your cookie consent choices. These are typically deleted automatically when you close your browser.
Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are most visited, how long people stay, and any errors they encounter. This data is anonymised and helps us improve the user experience over time.
Functional cookies
These cookies let our website remember choices you've made (such as language or accessibility preferences) so that you don't have to set them again on every visit. If you clear your cookies, you would need to reset these preferences.
Third-party cookies
Some pages on our website include content from trusted third parties. These third parties may set their own cookies, which are governed by their respective privacy policies. The main third parties we currently use are:
- Google Maps — for the embedded location map on our Visit Us and Contact sections. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- PharmAppy — if you click through to the PharmAppy install page or app, that service may set its own cookies. See PharmAppy's privacy policy on their website.
Note: The Curo Pharmacy website currently does not use advertising or marketing tracking cookies. We do not track you across other websites.
4. How to manage your cookies
You have full control over which cookies you accept. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Each browser has slightly different instructions:
Important: If you choose to block all cookies — including essential cookies — some parts of our website may not work as expected. For example, you may not be able to log in or complete certain forms.
5. Withdrawing your consent
Where cookies require your consent (such as analytics or functional cookies), you can withdraw that consent at any time by clearing the cookies in your browser and refreshing the page. You'll then be able to make a new choice.
6. Changes to this Cookies Policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the technologies we use. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
