At HearClear, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we use cookies on this website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function efficiently, improve user experience, and provide analytical data. Some cookies are essential for a website to operate correctly, while others may be used for tracking, analytics, or advertising.
Under PECR, cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website do not require user consent. However, all non-essential cookies, such as those used for analytics or advertising, require prior user consent before they are placed on your device.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use only necessary cookies on this website, which means that user consent is not required. These cookies enable basic website functionality, such as ensuring pages display correctly and allowing site owners to update content in real time.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| elementor | Ensures that website content updates function correctly through the Elementor framework. | Never expires | Necessary |
| wpEmojiSettingsSupports | Helps determine whether the user’s browser supports emoji display. | Session-based (expires when the browser is closed) | Necessary |
At present, we do not use cookies for analytics, marketing, or tracking purposes. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and obtain user consent before setting any non-essential cookies.
3. Managing Cookies

4. Future Changes to Cookie Use
If we introduce non-essential cookies, such as those used for analytics or third-party services, we will:
- Implement a cookie consent banner to allow users to accept, reject, or customize cookie preferences.
- Provide clear information about any new cookies and their purpose.
- Ensure that cookies requiring consent are not placed on your device until you have actively opted in.
