This policy explains how The Southern Clinic uses cookies and similar technologies on southernclinic.com.au. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember your actions and preferences and help operators understand how the site is used. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and tags. In this policy, “cookies” refers to all of them.
Your Health Information Is Not Involved
Cookies on this website do not collect your medical records or clinical information.
Your health information is held in our clinical software, which is entirely separate from this website. Website analytics indicate which pages are viewed and how visitors navigate — not who you are as a patient or what you attend for.

What We Do Not Do
We do not use cookies to collect or store health information, identify you as a patient, build advertising profiles, sell information to third parties, or track you across unrelated websites for marketing.
Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings — view existing cookies, delete them, block them from specific sites, or block third-party cookies entirely. Instructions are in the help section of your browser.
Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the website from working, including online booking.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cookie Preferences on This Website
This website does not currently display a cookie consent banner. If one is implemented, this section will describe how consent is given, managed and withdrawn, and link to the preference control.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no consistent industry standard for responding to it, and this website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

We may update this policy as the website changes. The current version is always published on this page.
