2. How We Use Cookies
healthsureuk.com uses cookies for several distinct reasons:
- Essential Cookies: Strictly necessary to navigate our website, load pages securely, and remember your cookie preferences.
- Affiliate Tracking Cookies: When you click on our recommended insurance links (referring you to Vitality UK), a cookie stores referral metadata (specifically a secure `clickid` string). This allows us to track successful referrals and receive our affiliate commission.
