This Cookies Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the website operated by Med-Forum For Social Development UK LTD at mediterraneanforum.org.uk ("the Website").
Important: Med-Forum UK operates an information-only website and does not use cookies for marketing, analytics, profiling, or behavioural tracking. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising trackers, or any third-party tracking technology.
This policy is written to comply with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are used to make websites work, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies do not normally contain personally identifying information, but they may be linked to such information held about you.
Cookies We Use
We use only strictly necessary cookies required for the basic operation of the Website. These cookies do not require your consent under UK PECR.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| wordpress_test_cookie | Tests whether your browser accepts cookies (essential for site function). | Session (deleted on browser close) |
| PHPSESSID | Standard server session cookie for maintaining page state. | Session |
That is the complete list. We use no other cookies.
Cookies We Do NOT Use
For full transparency, here is what we deliberately do not use:
- No Google Analytics or any other website analytics tools.
- No advertising cookies or remarketing pixels.
- No social media tracking pixels (no Facebook Pixel, no LinkedIn Insight Tag, etc.).
- No third-party tracking of any kind.
- No profiling or behavioural cookies.

External Resources
Our Website loads two external resources for design and typography:
- Google Fonts (fonts.google.com): provides the typefaces used on the Website. Google may receive your IP address as a technical request log when fonts are loaded.
- Cloudflare (where applicable): provides static asset delivery and security features for the Website.
Neither of these services sets persistent tracking cookies, but they may briefly process your IP address as part of standard internet operations. If you wish to block these resources, you may use a browser extension that blocks third-party domains.
