1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have accepted a notice — so that things work more smoothly on your next visit.
Cookies do not give us access to your device, and they cannot carry viruses or install software. The information stored in a cookie is generally very small.
2. Cookies We Use
We use a small number of cookies, grouped by purpose below.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled. They do not collect any information that could identify you and are not used for marketing.

|---|---|---|
| mendwell_cookie_consent | Records whether you have acknowledged the cookie notice | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Session management — keeps your session active while you browse | Session |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter any errors. The information is collected in aggregate and does not identify individual users. These cookies are only set with your consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users (anonymised IP) | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — maintains session state | 2 years |

We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses and we do not share this data with third parties for advertising purposes.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as your preferred language. We do not currently use preference cookies beyond those listed under Essential above, but this may change as the website develops.
3. Cookies We Do Not Use
We want to be clear about what we do not do with cookies:
- We do not use advertising or tracking cookies
- We do not share cookie data with advertising networks
- We do not use cookies to build profiles for retargeting
- We do not use social media tracking pixels
4. Third-Party Content
Our website includes an embedded Google Maps frame to show our location. When you view this map, Google may set its own cookies on your device. These are governed by Google's Privacy Policy, not ours.
We also load fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Font Awesome via CDN. These services may record the request for the resource but do not place tracking cookies on your device through our site.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a notice appears at the bottom of the page. You can accept all cookies or, by adjusting your browser settings, limit which cookies are stored on your device.
Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these under Privacy or Security options. Here are links to guidance for common browsers:
Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of our website work — for example, the cookie consent notice may reappear on each visit if the consent cookie is blocked.
Opting out of Google Analytics
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time as our website or applicable requirements change. Any updates will be posted here with a revised date. We encourage you to check this page occasionally.
