Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This policy explains what cookies the Xonvet website uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It applies to xonvet.co.uk and is governed by the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.

Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels may also be used; this policy covers all such tracking technologies on our site.

2. Cookies we use

We use a minimal set of cookies. The table below describes each one.

Cookie name Provider Category Purpose Duration
_ga Google Analytics Analytics Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number. Used to calculate visit, session, and campaign data for site analytics. 2 years
_ga_* Google Analytics Analytics Persists session state for Google Analytics 4. 2 years
_gid Google Analytics Analytics Distinguishes users for analytics reporting. 24 hours

We do not use advertising, retargeting, or social media cookies. We do not use cookies that identify you personally.

3. Cookie categories explained

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as filling in a form. We do not currently set any strictly necessary cookies.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are most visited, how long people stay, and where they come from. All data collected is aggregated and anonymised. We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose.

4. Legal basis for analytics cookies

Analytics cookies are non-essential. Under PECR, we require your consent before placing them. By continuing to use this website after being informed about our use of cookies, you consent to their use.

You may withdraw consent at any time by following the instructions in Section 5 below.

5. How to control cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

Please note that blocking analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the website, but it will mean we cannot improve the site based on visitor behaviour.

6. Third-party cookies

The pricing module embedded on our homepage is hosted at a third-party domain (widget-3pm.pages.dev). That service may set its own cookies, governed by its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing their policy if you have concerns.

Our booking calendar is provided by Google Calendar. Google may set cookies when you interact with the booking link. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Please check this page periodically. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
