This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. It has been prepared in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the Irish Data Protection Act 2018, and the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences and actions over a period of time, and provide anonymous analytics about how the site is used. Cookies may be "session cookies", which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies", which remain stored on your device until they expire or you delete them.

2. Legal basis for using cookies

Under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, we process strictly necessary cookies on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website. For all other categories of cookies, including analytics and marketing cookies, we rely on your freely given consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Regulation 5(3) of the 2011 Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie banner displayed on our website, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

3. Categories of cookies we use

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms. Our consent banner also stores your cookie preferences in a cookie named ckLmXq9p, which is strictly necessary to honour your choices and is therefore exempt from consent.

3.2 Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously, such as which pages are visited most often and how long users spend on each page. This information helps us improve the website's structure, content and user experience. Analytics cookies are only set if you provide consent.

3.3 Marketing cookies

These cookies are used to display relevant advertisements and promotional content about our skincare services and products, and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. They may remember that you have visited our website, and this information may be shared with third-party advertising partners. Marketing cookies are only set if you provide consent.

5. Third-party cookies

Some of the cookies described above may be set by third parties acting on our behalf, such as analytics providers and advertising networks. These third parties process data under our instructions and in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, through data processing agreements. Third parties may also be jointly responsible for their own cookies; where applicable, we provide information on their processing in this policy. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

6. How to manage your cookie preferences

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner allows you to:

• Accept all cookies;
• Reject all non-essential cookies; or
• Save custom preferences by enabling or disabling analytics and marketing cookies individually.

Your preferences are stored in the cookie ckLmXq9p for 180 days. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies, which will cause the consent banner to be displayed again on your next visit.

In addition, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking all cookies or deleting existing ones. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of our website from functioning correctly. Instructions can typically be found in the "Help", "Settings" or "Preferences" menu of your browser.
