Cookies and Similar Technologies
Last updated: 17 October 2026
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies Choosable uses, and how you can control them. Some are needed to run the site. Others, for analytics and marketing, are only used if you agree.
Your choices
When you first visit, we ask whether you're happy for us to use analytics and marketing cookies. You can accept all, reject all, or choose by category. You can change your mind at any time using "Cookie settings" in the website footer or the button above. Choosable works fully if you reject optional cookies.
Necessary (always on)
These are needed for the site to work and keep it secure. They can't be switched off.

Analytics (only with your consent)
These help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it.

Marketing (only with your consent)

Exact cookie names can change when these services update their tools. We review this list regularly.
What we never share
We never send your name, email, phone number, messages, or details of your support needs or disability to Google, Microsoft or Meta. Analytics and marketing tools don't run in the provider portal or admin area.
Tags are also blocked on support-search, support-type, location, provider-profile, blog, Get Matched and contact pages. Optional tools load only after you accept analytics or marketing. Consent choices expire after 12 months, and a new notice version asks you again. We record anonymous daily choice totals, not IP addresses. Cookie settings lets you withdraw or change consent at any time.
Other services that load on our pages
- Maps (OpenFreeMap) and fonts (Google Fonts) load from those services, which receive your IP address and browser details. They don't set cookies on Choosable.
- Stripe sets its own cookies on its checkout and billing pages to process payments securely and prevent fraud.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may stop parts of the site, such as signing in, from working.
