Visitor statistics: your choice

Pharmshark counts its own visitors so we can see which guides are used and whether people come back. We do this ourselves: nothing is sent to Google or any other company, and nothing is used for advertising.

What we record for each page you view

• the page, the time, and the site or link that brought you here (for example a Google search or one of our social posts);
• the type of device and browser (for example “mobile, Safari”), how long the page was open and how far you scrolled;
• some actions within a page: directory searches, providers and tabs opened, downloads, phone numbers tapped, links followed, printing, and CPD quizzes started or finished;
• a random identifier kept in a cookie called ps_vid for up to 13 months, so a return visit can be recognised. It contains nothing about you;
• your IP address, kept for 30 days and then deleted;
• if you are signed in, your Pharmshark account, so we can see which tools members use.

Full details are in our privacy policy.

The choice is stored in a small cookie (ps_optout) in this browser only. If you clear your cookies or use another device, you will need to choose again.
