Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count website visits and traffic sources so we can both measure and improve the performance of our sites as well as that of our digital advertising campaigns. They help us to know which pages (including those which provide information about the support we provide to cancer patients and their families) are the most and least popular, see how visitors move around the site, and measure the impact of our digital adverts. If you choose to allow performance cookies, as part of this process, information such as your IP address and the contact information you submit on our sites will be shared from time to time with advertising partners such as Facebook. Please be assured that we have robust secure measures in place which ensure that your personal data is kept safe.

If you choose not to accept performance cookies, an anonymous signal signifying your consent status is sent to Google. The purpose of this is to allow us to know how many people visited our website on a specific day, so we can understand how people use our website based on insights from visitors who have accepted performance cookies.Personalisation Cookies
