Cookie Policy

HealthcareBase uses Cookies to secure and monitor its platform in order to provide our customers with the best possible user experience. This document outlines our use of cookies and your rights relating to them.

Last updated: 22 April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Healthcare Base Limited ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at https://www.healthcarebase.co.uk and our platform at https://app.healthcarebase.co.uk (together, the "Platform"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 ("PECR") and the UK GDPR. We only place non-essential cookies on your device with your prior consent.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.

Cookies can be session cookies (temporary, expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device for a set period). They may be first-party (set by us) or third-party (set by services we use on the Platform).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • (a) Strictly necessary — to enable core functionality such as keeping you logged in during your session. Without these cookies the Platform cannot function properly.
  • (b) Functional — to support payment processing and fraud prevention when you actively complete a payment transaction on the Platform. These cookies are only set during an active payment session.
  • (c) Marketing and analytics — to understand how visitors find and use the Platform and to deliver relevant marketing communications where you have given your consent.

4. Cookie Consent and Your Choices

When you first visit the Platform, you will be shown a cookie consent banner managed by HubSpot. This allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies before they are placed on your device. No marketing or analytics cookies are set until you have given your consent through this banner.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent as they are essential for the Platform to function. Functional cookies related to payment processing are only set when you actively initiate a payment transaction.

You can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time by:

  • clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of the website, which will re-open the consent banner;
  • adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies (note: blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to the Platform); or
  • opting out of HubSpot tracking directly via HubSpot's opt-out page.

Withdrawing consent is as straightforward as giving it. Changes to your cookie preferences will take effect immediately for new cookies, though you may need to clear existing cookies from your browser for the change to apply to cookies already placed.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the Platform are set by third parties — Stripe and HubSpot — whose own privacy and cookie policies apply to data they collect. We encourage you to review their policies:

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, by email.
