This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies BeyondAge uses on its website, why we use them, and the choices available to you. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out the broader framework for how we handle your personal data.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device - your computer, phone, or tablet - when you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as which pages you viewed and how long you spent on them. Cookies do not give us access to your device or any information beyond what your browser sends to us.
Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies). Others are set by third-party services embedded in the page. We explain which applies to each type of cookie below.
The Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure form submission, and session management. Without them, the services you have requested cannot be provided. Because they are necessary for the site to operate, they are placed without requiring your consent and cannot be switched off.
Examples include cookies that remember your progress through the consultation form and session tokens that keep your connection secure while you are using the platform.
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the BeyondAge website. GA4 collects information about pages visited, time spent on each page, the device and browser used, and the general geographic region from which the site was accessed. This data is aggregated and used solely to improve the performance, structure, and content of the website.
GA4 cookies are first-party cookies set by BeyondAge, but the data they collect is processed by Google LLC on our behalf. Google acts as a data processor under a data processing agreement and is not permitted to use this data for its own purposes. The data collected by GA4 is anonymised before processing - we do not use GA4 in a configuration that captures or stores your IP address in full.
Analytics cookies are placed only with your consent, which you may give or withdraw via the cookie preference panel available on the website.
Cookies We Do Not Use
BeyondAge does not currently use advertising, targeting, or retargeting cookies. We do not run cookie-based remarketing campaigns and we do not share cookie data with any advertising network or social media platform. If this changes in the future, we will update this Policy and obtain fresh consent before placing any such cookies.
Your Cookie Choices
When You First Visit
When you first arrive on the BeyondAge website, a cookie consent banner will invite you to accept or decline analytics cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are placed immediately, as they are required for the site to load. Analytics cookies are placed only if you choose to accept them.
Changing Your Preferences
You may update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking “Manage Cookies” in the website footer. Your updated choice will be saved and applied immediately.
Browser-Level Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings. The steps vary by browser; you can find specific guidance by searching “cookie settings” in your browser’s help documentation. Please note that blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, will affect the functionality of the website and may prevent you from submitting a consultation request or using other features of the platform.
Opting Out of Google Analytics
If you wish to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across any website, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This is separate from the cookie preference panel on the BeyondAge website and operates at the browser level.
Cookie Retention Periods
Strictly necessary cookies are session cookies and expire when you close your browser, or short-lived cookies that expire within 24 hours. Google Analytics 4 cookies persist for up to two years from the date of your last visit to the website, in line with GA4’s default configuration. You may delete these at any time through your browser settings.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features to the website that require additional cookies, or if the tools we use change. When we do, we will update the effective date above and, where the change is material, display a notice on the website. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
