Cookie Policy

Effective date: 4 November 2026 · Last updated: 4 November 2026

In short: we use a small number of cookies to count visits and remember one display setting. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we never sell what they collect. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them, and you can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or phone when you visit. They let the site remember things, such as whether you have been here before. Some sites also use similar tools, such as tracking pixels or web beacons, which work in a similar way. This policy covers all of them.

This policy explains the cookies used on pharmaceuticalrecruitmentagency.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. Why we use cookies

  • To understand how many people visit the site and which pages they find useful, so we can improve it
  • To remember a display choice you make, such as hiding the table of contents on a page
  • To let our enquiry form work and keep it free of spam

We do not use cookies to show you adverts or to follow you around other websites.

Some browsers, such as Chrome and Safari, shorten how long cookies last, so they may expire sooner than shown.

5. Third-party services

Some cookies or similar tools come from services we use to run the site:

We do not control cookies set by these services. Their own policies explain how they use them.

6. How to manage or turn off cookies

Using our cookie banner

When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. You can accept all, reject all, or choose with Manage choices. Google Analytics does not set any cookies until you accept. To change your mind later, click Cookie settings at the bottom of any page. If you turn analytics off, we delete the analytics cookies straight away.

Using your browser

You can also block, delete or allow cookies at any time in your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may stop the enquiry form from working.

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies, or See all site data and permissions
  • Safari (Mac): Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data
  • Safari (iPhone and iPad): Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced > Website Data
  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data

To stop Google Analytics on every website, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Deleting the site_consent cookie resets your choice, and the banner will ask you again.

7. Changes to this policy

We check the cookies on this site when we add or remove tools, and update this policy when they change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
