The exact name of some cookies may vary depending on Google's configuration. Once consent has been given, Google may also use technologies or cookies on its own domains. Up-to-date information from Google about cookies is available in its documentation: How Google uses cookies.
3. Booking measurement
Where the user has expressly authorised the measurement category, doctorcasals.com may inform Google that a booking resulting from an advertising interaction has been confirmed.
The patient's name, email address, telephone number, symptoms, diagnosis, medical reports and other clinical documentation are not disclosed to Google.
Enhanced conversions and any techniques intended to transmit identifying data provided by the patient to Google will not be used.
Because the event relates to a booking with a medical practice, this information may indirectly reveal health-related data. For this reason, measurement will only take place where the user has expressly authorised it.
4. Refusing consent
If the user rejects optional cookies, the Google Analytics and Google Ads tags will remain blocked and no measurement data will be sent to Google.
Advertising click identifiers, such as the GCLID, will not be stored or used to attribute a booking to a campaign afterwards where the user has rejected measurement.
5. Withdrawing or changing consent
Consent may be changed or withdrawn at any time through Cookie settings, permanently available in the footer.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.
