My Doctor Shop Ltd uses cookies for a number of purposes, for instance to enable us to simplify the logging on process for registered users, to help ensure the security and authenticity of registered users, to provide the mechanisms for online shopping and to enable traffic monitoring.

Non-registered visitors of the site may be sent an anonymous cookie to track their browsing patterns within our site and to assist with demographic profiling. A visitor arriving at the website from an online advert linking to our site may be sent a semi-persistent (e.g. two weeks lifetime) anonymous cookie that will allow us to determine the effectiveness of our advertising and to manage our relationship with other websites.

You may use the My Doctor Shop Ltd website even if your browser does not accept cookies. However, to shop online or access some of our reserved services, cookies must be enabled.

In May 2012, a new law came into force across Europe requiring websites to obtain consent before storing cookies on visitors' computers or mobile devices.

Cookies are small files managed by your internet browser that store information about your visit to our site.

We are committed to ensuring that our use of cookies is completely transparent. Our website will display a message each time you visit if you have not given us consent to store cookies on your computer.

Some of the cookies we use are to help us monitor how you and other visitors use the website. Often termed analytic cookies, these are used to make our site more effective, and are created by Google's Analytics system. None of the information used by Google can identify you as an individual.
