Last Updated: April 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember your preferences and improve your experience. Under UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 and UK GDPR), we must obtain your consent before setting any non-essential cookies.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function. They are exempt from consent requirements under PECR Regulation 6(4) because the service you have requested cannot be provided without them.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| access_token | Keeps you signed in securely via an encrypted JWT session token. Set as httpOnly, secure, samesite=lax. | 24 hours |
| cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie consent preference so the banner does not reappear. Stored in localStorage, not as a cookie. | Persistent |
Google Sign-In Cookies (Optional)
If you choose to sign in with Google, Google's Identity Services library may set cookies on your device. These are only loaded on the login and signup pages and are never present on other pages of the site.
| Cookie | Purpose | Set By |
|---|---|---|
| g_csrf_token | Protects against cross-site request forgery during Google Sign-In. | |
| g_state | Manages the state of the Google One Tap prompt. |
Analytics Cookies
We do not currently use Google Analytics or any third-party analytics cookies. If we introduce analytics in the future, they will only be activated after you provide explicit consent via the cookie banner.
How to Withdraw Consent
You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time by:
- 1.Clearing your browser's cookies and local storage for this site — the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
- 2.Using your browser's built-in cookie management settings (usually found under Privacy & Security).
- 3.Contacting us at admin@paediatricmentor.com to request cookie preference removal.
