Cookies that measure website use (analytics cookies)
These cookies store information about how you use our website, such as the links you click on. We use them to help make our website better.
When you first visit the NHS website (www.nhs.uk), you'll be asked to accept or reject analytics cookies. If you then use a link that takes you to another online NHS service, like the NHS App or NHS login, your choice will be shared with that service. This is so you're not asked about analytics cookies again on the other services you use.
We'll share your choice each time you use these online NHS services through the NHS website. You can update your cookie settings for the NHS website on this page. To change your cookie settings for other online NHS services, view the NHS App cookies policy and NHS login cookies policy.
