Cookie Policy
We use cookies to make your Hello Beauty Salon experience simple, secure, and personalised. These small files help our website remember your preferences, process bookings, and understand how visitors use our site — all in line with UK GDPR and PECR. You can manage or withdraw your cookie choices anytime through our on-site settings.
At Hello Beauty Salon, we use cookies sparingly — just enough to make your browsing and booking experience smooth, secure, and personalised. This Cookie Policy explains how and why we use cookies on our website, what types are in use, and how you can control your preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store or retrieve information. They help websites function properly, improve performance, and provide useful analytics. Some cookies are essential for the site to work, while others are used for analytics or marketing purposes.
How We Use Cookies
Hello Beauty Salon uses cookies to: Ensure our booking and checkout systems function correctly. Remember user preferences and improve the experience on return visits. Measure website traffic and performance using analytics tools. Support marketing campaigns and social media integrations. From time to time, we may also use similar technologies such as pixels or tracking tags to help measure the effectiveness of our online campaigns. These operate in the same way as cookies and are used solely for analytics or advertising performance.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies: Required for the website to function (e.g., Salonized booking, checkout, and security cookies). Functional cookies: Remember choices such as language, location, or login preferences. Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site through tools like Google Analytics. Marketing cookies: Used by integrated platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Mailchimp, or Google Ads to show relevant promotions and measure campaign performance.
Third-Party Cookies
Our booking and marketing systems (Salonized, Treatwell, Fresha, Teya, and Mailchimp) may also place cookies when you interact with their widgets or payment forms. These third-party cookies are controlled by their respective privacy and cookie policies.
Cookie Duration
Session cookies – temporary and deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies – remain for up to 12 months unless you clear them manually. You can remove cookies at any time via your browser settings.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
On your first visit, you'll be asked to accept, reject, or manage cookies through our on-site banner. You can change your preferences anytime by clearing cookies in your browser or visiting the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer. If you reject non-essential cookies, parts of the website may still work but with reduced functionality. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — see your browser's Help section for details (for example Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge).
Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we use cookies only where we have a lawful basis — either for essential website functionality (legitimate interest) or with your consent (for analytics and marketing).
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our website operations. All updates will be published here with a new "Last updated" date.
