What is not used
SAS Doctors Review does not use advertising cookies, third-party analytics beacons, session replay, fingerprinting, cross-site tracking or behavioural profiling. It does not receive the contents of browser-only learning records, knowledge-check answers or scores.
Browser-only learning records
The optional records use the browser’s local-storage facility rather than a traditional cookie. They cover Navigating the NHS, Leadership in Practice, Wellbeing, SAS Advocates, Professional Regulation, Portfolio Pathway, Contracts and My learning. Local storage is still treated as a browser-storage technology requiring a clear choice because it can remember information on a device.
External websites
Links to official and professional organisations open services with their own cookie and privacy practices. SAS Doctors Review does not control those sites.
Current privacy choices and cookies
Optional statistics remain off until you enable them. We ask for a fresh choice for this update because statistics now use a 24-hour browser cookie (__Host-sas-stats) and daily protected deduplication keys. The preference cookie sas_cookie_consent_v3 lasts six months. Essential Christine and handbook access cookies have their separately explained expiry periods. Browser learning remains optional and local to your device. See /privacy/monitoring and /ask-christine/privacy for the full information.
Review your choices
You can disable optional statistics or browser learning at any time. Public reading remains available.
