Essential cookies are the small pieces of data that keep the site functioning at a basic level, and without them many pages would simply fail to load or remember your most minimal choices. We use these cookies to maintain secure sessions, route traffic between servers, and store preferences such as language or accessibility settings so you do not need to repeat them on every visit. Because they are strictly necessary for the website to work, you cannot switch them off through our settings, but you can still block them in your browser, recognising that some features may then stop working as intended.

Performance cookies help us understand how people use the site in aggregate, for example which pages are visited most often or where visitors seem to drop off, so we can decide what to improve. The information these cookies collect is typically aggregated and not intended to identify you directly, but it still counts as personal data under many privacy rules because it relates to your device and behaviour. We use this data cautiously, focusing on broad patterns rather than individual profiles, and we may adjust or disable specific tools if they feel disproportionate to the modest insights they provide about how seniors and caregivers navigate our content.

Functional cookies allow the site to remember helpful but non essential details that make your visit smoother, such as whether you have seen a particular notice before or how you prefer information to be displayed. We use them to support features like saving partial form entries while you move between sections, or keeping track of simple interface preferences so you spend less time repeating the same small actions. If you disable these cookies, the core content will remain available, yet some conveniences may disappear and you might find yourself re entering information more often than feels reasonable.

We do not operate an advertising network and do not use cookies to follow seniors or caregivers across unrelated websites for marketing purposes, because such tracking would not align with the trust we aim to build. However, some embedded content or third party tools, such as map services or video players, may set their own cookies when you interact with them, and these providers might use the data for their purposes. We try to select tools that respect privacy, yet we cannot fully control how external services behave, so we recommend reviewing their own policies and adjusting your browser settings if you are particularly cautious about targeted content or profiling beyond our site.
