Cookie policy

Cookies store information in the browser and may support security, preferences, analytics or advertising. Local storage and session storage are separate technologies and are identified separately below. Only entries observed on the live site belong in this inventory; missing observations are not evidence that a provider never uses a cookie.

Necessary Only requests denied values for the four Google Consent Mode fields; Accept All requests granted values. Use Cookie settings in the footer to reopen the banner and change your choice. Enforcement by all GTM tags, including Meta, remains unverified until the consent review. Withdrawal may not remove every existing third-party cookie; browser settings can remove stored cookies. Do not assume this draft proves that all non-essential tracking is blocked.

Potential configured providers include Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Meta and Cloudflare Turnstile; they are not listed as observed cookie setters unless the browser audit found them. Site hosting is Replit. Exact purposes and vendor retention must be reconciled with provider documentation and the final GTM configuration. Recheck the inventory after every tracking release and when third-party services change.

The prepared release loads GTM and embedded Google Maps only after Accept All. Necessary Only keeps them unloaded; withdrawal after loading reloads the page to stop previously loaded scripts. An older acceptance requires a new choice for Basic. This describes prepared site controls, not a verification of the published GTM container. Existing third-party cookies may require removal in browser settings.

The prepared controls use elite_cookie_consent_version in localStorage to identify the accepted consent revision, and elite_cookie_revoked in sessionStorage as a tab-level withdrawal safeguard. These contain no patient information and were not part of the earlier live inventory. The session safeguard ends with the tab session; the local revision has no explicit expiry.

elite_cookie_consent — localStorage stores the site's consent choice, observed after Necessary Only and Accept All. It has no explicit expiry in the inspected code and persists until overwritten or removed.

_gcl_ls — localStorage observed after Accept All. Association with Google advertising is inferred; exact purpose and retention are unverified. No values were inspected.

No sessionStorage keys were observed during the tested visits; this does not establish their absence in other flows.

Observed on 2026-10-02 UTC at https://elitemedical.ie/ and /contact in separate fresh sessions. Durations are approximate remaining lifetimes, not guaranteed vendor lifetimes. Values were not inspected.

Google and Cloudflare hosts were observed in all consent states; no Meta host was observed in these sessions. This does not prove absence of Meta or establish how each request was used. GTM account rules, other embeds, regional differences and later sessions remain unverified.
