Website Cookie Policy
Rx-info Ltd | www.rx-info.co.uk | Version 2.0 | July 2026
- ABOUT THIS POLICY
This Cookie Policy explains how Rx-info Ltd (“Rx-info”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at www.rx-info.co.uk (our “site”), and the choices available to you. It should be read together with our Website Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal data more generally.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage, and references to “cookies” in this policy include those technologies.
- THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND YOUR CHOICES
Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (“PECR”), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and – where cookies involve the processing of personal data – by the UK GDPR. Under that framework, cookies fall into three groups:
- Strictly necessary cookies, which are essential to provide the service you have requested – for example, to keep you logged in as you move between pages or to keep our site secure. These do not require your consent and cannot be switched off.
- Statistics and functionality cookies, which we use solely to collect statistical information to improve our site, or to remember your display and functionality preferences. The law permits us to use these without your prior consent, provided we give you clear information about them and a free-of-charge right to opt out. You can opt out at any time using the footer of our site.
- Other cookies, including any third-party cookies set for a third party’s own purposes (such as embedded video players or third-party analytics that share data with the provider). These are only set with your prior consent, which you can give or refuse via our cookie banner when you first visit our site and change at any time via the cookie preferences link.
You will not be denied access to our site if you refuse or opt out of non-essential cookies, although some features may not function fully.

- THIRD-PARTY COOKIES AND EMBEDDED CONTENT
Some pages of our site may contain content embedded from third-party services such as YouTube or Vimeo. When you visit a page with embedded content, the relevant provider may set its own cookies on your device. We do not control the dissemination of these cookies, and you should check the relevant third party’s own cookie and privacy policies for more information. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary or within the statistics and functionality categories described above, we will only allow them to be set with your consent.
- HOW TO CONTROL COOKIES THROUGH YOUR BROWSER
In addition to the controls we provide, you can restrict, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. The Help function within your browser will tell you how. You can also visit www.aboutcookies.org, which contains comprehensive information on how to manage cookies on a wide variety of browsers, together with details of how to delete cookies from your device. For information on how to do this on your mobile device, please refer to your device manual.
Please be aware that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of our site.
