Cookie Policy
This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on the Hannah Tate Skin website, what they help us do, how long they may remain on your device, and how you can manage your preferences.
About Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device when you visit a page. They help websites remember information, maintain essential functions and understand how visitors use the site.
Hannah Tate Skin may use cookies and similar technologies to support the normal operation of our website, improve the way information is presented and make it easier for customers to arrange or enquire about our services.
Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you. The information collected depends on the type of cookie and how the website is configured.
Effective immediately.
This Cookie Policy applies whenever you use the Hannah Tate Skin website.
How We Use Cookies
Cookies may be used for several practical reasons, depending on the features available on the website.
- To keep essential website functions working correctly.
- To remember certain preferences during a website visit.
- To help maintain website security and reliability.
- To understand general website usage.
- To improve website navigation and presentation.
- To support available appointment or enquiry features.
We aim to use only cookies that are reasonably connected with these purposes.
Types of Cookies
The cookies used on a website can generally be grouped into the following categories.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Supports core website functions, navigation and basic operation. | Session or up to 12 months |
| Preferences | Helps remember selected settings or choices where available. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Helps us understand general website visits and improve the website experience. | Up to 24 months |
| Third-party | May support features provided by external website services. | Depends on the relevant service |
Actual cookie names, providers and durations may vary according to the website functions and services active at the time of your visit.
Essential Cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate as expected. These may support functions such as page navigation, security, form operation, session management or other basic website features.
Because these cookies support essential website functions, they may remain active when you use the relevant parts of the website.
Essential cookies are normally retained only for the period reasonably needed for their function, with some remaining for up to 12 months where required for a continuing website setting or function.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies may help the website remember choices you have made, such as certain display or browsing preferences.
Where preference cookies are used, they may remain on your device for up to 12 months unless you remove them earlier through your browser or available website controls.
If you clear your cookies, the website may no longer remember previously selected preferences and you may need to make those choices again.
Analytics Cookies
Where analytics tools are enabled, analytics cookies may help us understand general patterns such as which pages are visited, how visitors move through the website and whether pages are working as expected.
This information helps us improve website structure, content and usability. Analytics information is generally considered in an aggregated or statistical way rather than as a means of directly identifying individual visitors.
Analytics cookies may remain for up to 24 months, depending on the specific service and its configuration.
Third-Party Services
Some website features may rely on services provided by other organisations. These services may place their own cookies or use similar technologies when their features are loaded or used.
Examples may include website analytics, embedded content, appointment-related features or other technical services used to provide particular website functionality.
The way a third-party service handles cookies is governed by that provider’s own policies and settings. We do not control the individual cookie practices of external providers.
Third-party duration: cookies placed by an external service may have a different duration from cookies directly used by our website.
Cookie Duration
Cookies may be either temporary session cookies or longer-lasting cookies.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. They may be used to support functions that are needed during a single website visit.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until they are removed. Depending on their purpose, they may remain for up to 12 or 24 months.
Cookie durations may change when website functions or supporting services are updated.
Managing Cookies
You can manage or remove cookies through your web browser’s settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies and choose whether to accept future cookies.
You can also adjust available cookie preferences through any cookie controls provided on the website.
Please remember that disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the website operate. In particular, features that rely on essential cookies may not work correctly if those cookies are blocked.
Your choice: you can clear or manage non-essential cookies through your browser or the cookie controls made available on the website.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, its features or the technologies used on it change.
When an update is made, the revised version will be published on this page and will apply from the time it is made available, unless a different effective point is stated.
We recommend checking this page occasionally if you want to stay familiar with how cookies are used on the website.
