What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when a website loads in your browser. Cookies and similar browser-storage technologies help us make the website function properly, keep it secure, remember your choices and, where you agree, understand how the website performs and where it needs improvement.

How do we use cookies?

Like most online services, our website uses first-party and third-party cookies and similar technologies for a number of purposes. First-party cookies are set by our website; third-party technologies are provided by services such as Google. Some cookies contain identifiers that may be personal data, so they are not necessarily anonymous.

At Alder Road Dental, we use CookieYes to remember your cookie choices, Google reCAPTCHA to help protect forms from spam, and optional Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website. Analytics is off by default and is controlled by the Analytics category in Cookie Settings.

We also display Google reviews through Trustindex. Our latest scan did not detect a Trustindex-specific cookie, although the widget connects to Trustindex to display reviews. Our online appointment-booking link takes you to a separate service with its own privacy and cookie information.

What types of cookies do we use?

Essential: These support necessary website functions, remember your privacy choices and help protect forms from bots and spam. They include consent records and reCAPTCHA security storage. Essential technologies may contain identifiers and are not necessarily free of personal information. They cannot be switched off through our cookie settings where they are necessary to provide the service requested.

Statistics: Google Analytics helps us understand visits, sessions and page usage through browser and device information and pseudonymous identifiers. You can allow or reject this optional category using the Analytics switch. Our scan detected a two-hour lifetime for the analytics cookies.

Marketing: Our latest scan did not identify advertising or marketing cookies. An Advertisement option may appear in the consent panel, but its presence does not mean that advertising cookies are in use.

Functional: These technologies support website features. Our scan identified WordPress session storage that checks whether your browser supports emoji display. The site also uses a Trustindex review widget; no Trustindex-specific cookie was detected in the scan. Optional categories shown in the settings are not necessarily in use.

Preferences: CookieYes stores your cookie preferences so that the website can remember your choices. The consent records detected by our scan last for one year. These privacy-choice records are necessary consent cookies.

Different browsers also provide methods to block and delete cookies and other website data. You can change your browser settings to block or delete them. Changing a consent preference does not necessarily delete data already stored, and blocking all cookies may affect website functions.

Abbi Roberts was very nice and calming. She explained everything step by step and her treatment was very good - she made it so I could cope!

Sue Hendrie

Friendly receptionist, felt relaxed and looked after when meeting the dentist and the nurse. Treatment was excellent and was reassured and asked if I was OK throughout.

Jen Bennett

I usually just went for check ups with the alder road dental surgery but now I had a treatment done and I wasn't impressed at all After I had my treatment and I have paid a lot of money, the treatment didn't go as well as we hoped which was nobody's fault However when I called them again to find out possible next steps and other treatments which have also already been suggested with Pauline, the receptionist wanted to book me for an emergency appointment right away even there was no need at all. When I said that there's no need for it she was insisting even though I had no severe pain or anything like that, but she did not listen to me at all. It seems to me it's all about the money and charging people but not actually helping patients with their needs with this dentist. So I did not have any other option and find a new dentist where everything is straight forward and actually a lot cheaper too. I don't even mind paying money if I would get the right work done. Very disappointing especially when you don't know what to do or what's actually going on as a patient.

Steve McCullough

Great job from Jasper, thank you.
