Cookie Policy

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are stored by your internet browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, etc.) on your computer or mobile device. They allow websites to remember any personal details or settings you’ve applied during your visit. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device from a subsequent visit and to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time.

Where possible, security measures are set in place to prevent unauthorised access to our cookies and similar technologies. A unique identifier ensures that only we and/or our authorised service providers have access to cookie data.

We rely on your consent to use certain types of cookies (except system cookies which are “strictly necessary cookies”, as described below). You can refuse cookies at any time by changing your settings while entering a website, referring to our Cookie Consent Options or changing the cookie settings in your browser.

We use cookies that only remain on your device for as long as you keep your browser active (session) and cookies and similar technologies that remain on your device for a longer period (persistent). You are free to block, delete, or disable these technologies if your device allows this. You can manage your cookies and your cookie preferences in your browser or device settings.

You can find more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, at www.aboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

How do we use cookies?

The Thea Pharmaceuticals website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users on our site, to improve accessibility by storing and managing user preferences, to deliver targeted advertising, enable content on the website to function, and gather anonymous analytic and user data. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site and also allows us to improve our site.

The Thea Pharmaceuticals Website uses 4 different types of cookie:

In addition, cookies may allow some website embedded functionalities (for example, displaying YouTube videos) to work properly. May be session or persistent cookies.

Anonymous Analytics Cookies - These enable us to collect completely anonymous information about the way you use the Thea Pharmaceuticals sit. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it.

What about third party cookies?

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
