Cookie Policy

What cookies we use and why

Last updated: April 2026

This cookie policy explains how Beautique Beauty and Aesthetics ("Beautique", "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (beautiquebeautyandaesthetics.co.uk). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which work in a comparable way.

Our Approach to Cookies

We take a minimal, privacy-first approach. Our website only uses essential cookies needed to operate the site and booking system. We do not use:

  • Google Analytics or any other website analytics service
  • Advertising, retargeting or marketing cookies
  • Social media tracking pixels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.)
  • Third-party profiling or behavioural tracking

Because we do not use non-essential cookies, we do not show a cookie consent banner for them – there is nothing to consent to beyond the strictly necessary cookies described below.

Cookies We Use

Essential cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website and booking system to work. They cannot be switched off in our systems, as the site would not function correctly without them. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form, making a booking, or logging in to an account. They do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is needed for that purpose.

Examples of essential cookies we may set:

  • Session cookies – to maintain your session while you move between pages, complete a booking, or submit a consultation form.
  • Security cookies – such as CSRF tokens, used to protect forms from cross-site request forgery attacks.
  • Preference cookies – to remember small choices such as whether you have dismissed a notification on the site.

Essential session cookies are typically deleted automatically when you close your browser.

Third-party cookies

The only third-party cookies you may encounter on our site are set by Stripe, our payment processor, when you make a payment or deposit. These cookies are used by Stripe to process your payment securely and to help prevent fraud. They are only loaded on pages where payment is required. You can read more in Stripe's own cookie and privacy information at stripe.com/privacy.

Embedded content from other services (such as a Google Map on our contact page or a video) may also set its own cookies when you interact with it. We only embed this type of content where it is genuinely useful and keep its use to a minimum.

Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you:

  • See what cookies are stored and delete them
  • Block all cookies, or only third-party cookies
  • Block cookies from specific sites
  • Clear all cookies when you close the browser

Please note that if you block essential cookies, parts of our website – including the booking system and consultation forms – may not work correctly.

For detailed guidance, see:

Changes to This Policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
