We use Google Ads to promote our services to potential patients. Google Ads conversion tracking allows us to measure whether users who clicked on one of our ads subsequently completed a desired action (such as submitting a consultation form or clicking to call). This helps us understand which campaigns are effective and optimise our advertising spend.
These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Conversion events are reported in aggregate. Where required by applicable law (e.g. for users in the EU/EEA or UK), advertising cookies will only be activated with your prior explicit consent.
You can manage Google advertising preferences via Google Ad Settings and opt out of personalised advertising via Your Online Choices (EU) or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out.
