Cookie Policy

1. About this policy

This policy explains cookies and similar technologies in connection with the Anna Beauty Salon website, annabeauty.co.uk. For information about how personal information is handled, please read our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, can also remember information in your browser. This policy refers to these technologies collectively as cookies.

Session cookies generally expire when your browsing session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them. Local storage can remain until it is cleared by you or by the website.

3. Website functions and cookies

Strictly necessary functions

Storage essential to provide a service you request can be used without cookie consent. Examples include maintaining a secure login session for authorised website administrators and remembering privacy choices. Not every visitor uses these functions.

Optional features

Third-party features, such as embedded maps, may use cookies or similar technologies and receive technical information including your IP address. Where consent is required, it must be obtained before these technologies are used.

Contact buttons

Our website uses Buttonizer to display contact shortcuts. Statistics are not enabled in Buttonizer. Selecting a contact or social media link may open an external service, whose own privacy and cookie policies then apply.

4. External services

Our website includes links to services such as Google Maps, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. An ordinary link is different from content embedded directly on a page: embedded content can connect to its provider as the page loads.

Cookies used by external providers are managed by those providers. You can find further information in their policies, including Google’s cookie information.

5. Managing cookies

You can use your browser settings to view, block or delete cookies and clear website storage. Instructions are available in your browser’s Help or Privacy settings. Blocking essential storage may prevent some requested functions from working.

Where we request consent for optional cookies, you can refuse or subsequently withdraw that consent through the website’s cookie controls. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before withdrawal.

Browser settings apply separately to each browser and device. Clearing website storage may also remove your saved privacy choices.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to the website, its features or applicable requirements. The date above shows when this policy was last updated.
