Cookie Policy

FETTLE AESTHETICS Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences, and/or gather information about how the site is used. Similar technologies (such as local storage) are covered by this policy alongside cookies.

2. Cookies we use

[This section must be finalised once all live tools are confirmed, and should reflect an actual cookie audit of the Site — the list below is based on tools currently in use or planned.]

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the Site and marketplace (Sharetribe) to function, such as maintaining your login session and enabling core security features. These cannot be switched off, and do not require consent under UK PECR as they are essential to the service you've requested.

Analytics / performance cookies

If enabled, these help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g. via Google Search Console or Google Analytics, if added), so we can improve it. These require your consent before being set. [To confirm exactly which analytics tools are or will be active.]

Payment cookies

Stripe, our payment processor, may set cookies during checkout to support fraud prevention and secure payment processing. These are generally considered necessary for completing a payment you have requested.

Third-party embedded content

Where the Site embeds third-party content (for example, fonts served by Google Fonts), the relevant third party may set cookies or collect technical data such as IP address, in accordance with their own policies.

3. Managing cookies

[If a cookie consent banner is implemented, describe how users can accept/reject/manage preferences here, including a link to re-open cookie settings.] You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling non-essential cookies should not affect core site or marketplace functionality, but blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Site from working correctly.

4. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as the tools and technologies used on the Site change. Please check back periodically.

5. Contact us

Questions about this policy can be sent to info@fettleaesthetics.co.uk Before publishing: (1) run an actual cookie audit of the live site and Sharetribe marketplace to confirm the exact list of cookies set, their names, purpose and duration; (2) decide whether a cookie consent banner (accept/reject) is needed — likely yes, since UK PECR requires consent for non-essential cookies; (3) Napthens to confirm whether Sharetribe's own session cookies require disclosure only, or active consent.
