1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as items in your shopping cart, your preferred language, or whether you are logged in — making your experience smoother and more consistent.
Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses. They cannot access any other files or information stored on your device. Some cookies are placed directly by us (first-party cookies); others are placed by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies on mspharmagroup.com for the following purposes:
- To make the website work — certain cookies are essential for core functions such as keeping your shopping cart active, maintaining your login, and keeping the site secure.
- To remember your preferences — so you do not have to re-enter settings like your language or currency each time you visit.
- To understand how visitors use our site — by analysing traffic and behaviour patterns so we can improve the website experience.
- To support our marketing — to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and, where consented, to show you relevant content on external platforms.

6. How We Obtain Consent and How to Withdraw It
In line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), UK GDPR, and the Data Protection Act 2018, we only place non-essential cookies on your device after you have given your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent.
When you first visit mspharmagroup.com, a cookie banner will appear allowing you to:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject all non-essential cookies
- Manage preferences by enabling or disabling individual cookie categories
Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from this requirement and are set automatically, as they are essential for the website to function. All other categories are switched off by default until you actively enable them.
Withdrawing consent: You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website. You can also clear cookies that have already been set using your browser settings (see Section 5). Withdrawing consent will not affect anything that took place before you withdrew it.
We store a record of your consent so we do not ask you repeatedly. Your preference will be refreshed every 12 months, at which point we will ask again.
