This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Nutshell Nursing Care uses them on nutshellnc.co.uk, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site's owners. Similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) work in comparable ways; we refer to them all as "cookies" here.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to make our website work properly, to remember your choices (such as your light or dark display preference), and to understand, in an aggregated, anonymous way, how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
We keep it minimal. We do not use cookies to collect health or care information, and we do not sell data gathered through cookies. Non-essential cookies are only set with your consent.
3. What this website actually stores
We keep things deliberately simple. This website sets no advertising cookies, no marketing cookies and no third-party analytics. The only things stored on your device are small local settings (using your browser's "local storage") that make the site work the way you've asked it to:
| Name | What it does | Type |
|---|---|---|
| nutshell-theme | Remembers whether you prefer light or dark mode. | Strictly necessary · local storage |
| nutshell-access | Remembers your viewing options — text size, easy read, calm mode — so the site stays comfortable for your eyes on every visit. | Strictly necessary · local storage |
| nutshell_waitlist | Remembers that you joined the app waitlist on this device, so we don't ask you again. | Functional · local storage |
These settings never leave your device, are not used to track you, and are not shared with anyone. If we ever introduce analytics or marketing cookies, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.
4. Managing your cookies
You can control and delete cookies in several ways:
- Adjust your choices through any cookie banner or settings shown on our website.
- Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies, most browsers let you do this in their privacy or security settings.
- Use your browser's "private" or "incognito" mode to limit cookies for a session.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website functions.
5. Third-party services
Our pages load our web fonts (Cormorant Garamond and DM Sans) from Google Fonts, which means your browser requests font files from Google's servers when a page loads. Google may see your IP address as part of serving that request; no cookies are set by this. No other third-party services run on this website.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our website evolves or as the law changes. The latest version will always appear on this page with the date it was last updated.
