We do not need your consent to use these cookies although you can stop them working by adjusting your browser settings. Our site will not work properly if you do this.
Other Cookies such as functionality and performance cookies are used to remember information you give us such as your name.

We use cookies for the following reasons:
Essential Cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website. The ‘session cookies’ we use on our website store some of your preferences only whilst you move around the site.

If you visit the PNLA website and log in to the specialists or members’ section, the functionality cookies will be deleted after one month. This enables you to return to the section without the need to log in on each visit. These cookies contain details of your name, membership or specialists number and email address.

Analytical cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it.
