1. Introduction

Emerge Aesthetics (“we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal information when you visit our website.

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on our website, what information they may collect, why they are used and how you can manage your preferences.

Our website is built using Squarespace. We use Squarespace Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. Our website also contains links to an external booking platform [ANS - Aesthetic Nurses Software], social media content, partner sites such as; Zinzino and Clever Patients.

We handle cookies and similar technologies in accordance with applicable UK data protection legislation, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), where applicable.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They can help a website function correctly, remember preferences and provide information about how visitors use the website.

Other technologies, including tracking pixels, scripts and local storage, may perform similar functions and may be subject to the same legal requirements.

Cookies can be categorised as follows:

• First-party cookies: Set by the website you are visiting or its service provider.

• Third-party cookies: Set by external services or providers whose technology is used on or accessed through a website.

• Session cookies: Generally expire when you close your browser.

• Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a specified period or until deleted.

3. How we use cookies

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

Some cookies are necessary for our website to operate securely and correctly. They may support essential website functionality, security, navigation, form submissions and the storage of cookie consent preferences.

Where a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary for a service you have requested, it may be used without consent under the applicable legal exemption.

3.2 Analytics and performance cookies

We use Squarespace Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website and to help us improve its content and functionality.

Analytics may provide information about website visits, page views, traffic sources, visitor interactions and general website performance. Depending on the settings and technologies in use, this may involve information such as device and browser details, IP addresses or identifiers stored on a visitor's device.

Non-essential analytics cookies and similar technologies will only be used where the required consent has been obtained.

Squarespace may process website visitor information in providing its services. Further information about its processing practices is available through Squarespace's own privacy documentation.

3.3 Functional cookies

Functional cookies may be used to remember preferences or enable optional website features. Whether these cookies are present depends on the functionality enabled on our website.

Where consent is required, they will only be activated after you have given permission.

3.4 Social media content and integrations

Our website contains links to our social media profiles and may include embedded social media content, such as feeds, videos or other interactive features.

When you interact with embedded content, or when third-party content loads, the relevant provider may collect information about your device, browser or interaction with that content. Depending on the integration, this may involve cookies or similar tracking technologies.

We will take appropriate steps to prevent non-essential embedded technologies from setting cookies or accessing information on your device before the required consent has been obtained.

Where third-party content is not controlled by our website's cookie settings, we will review the integration and take appropriate steps to provide a compliant consent mechanism or prevent the content from loading until consent is obtained.

Social media providers process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

3.5 External booking platform

Our website provides a link to an external booking platform so that visitors can access appointment booking services.

Clicking this link takes you to a third-party website. That provider may use its own cookies and similar technologies in accordance with its privacy and cookie policies.

Cookies set on the external booking website are generally controlled by that provider rather than by Emerge Aesthetics. If the booking service is later embedded directly into our website, we will review its cookie behaviour and consent requirements separately.

3.6 Partner sites

Our website provides a links to partner sites including; Zinzino and Clever Patients so that visitors can access the purchase of nutritional testing and supplements, as well as skincare.

Clicking these links takes you to a third-party website. That provider may use its own cookies and similar technologies in accordance with its privacy and cookie policies.

Cookies set on these links are generally controlled by that provider rather than by Emerge Aesthetics.

3.7 Advertising and marketing technologies

We have not yet confirmed whether advertising or tracking technologies, such as Meta Pixel, Facebook tracking tools or Google Ads conversion tracking, are installed on our website.

We will review the website's integrations and code to establish whether any such technologies are present. Where non-essential advertising or tracking technologies are used, they will only be activated after the required consent has been obtained.

This policy will be updated if necessary to reflect any advertising technologies that are introduced.

4. Cookie consent and your choices

Where consent is legally required, we will ask for your permission before placing non-essential cookies or using similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.

Our cookie consent mechanism is intended to allow you to:

• Accept all cookies.

• Reject all non-essential cookies.

• Manage your preferences by cookie category, where available.

• Change or withdraw your consent after making your initial choice.

Accepting cookies is optional. You can reject non-essential cookies while continuing to use essential website functionality, although some optional features may not operate as intended.

Continuing to browse our website does not, by itself, constitute consent to non-essential cookies.

You can change your preferences through the cookie settings option on our website, where available.

5. Managing cookies through your browser

You can also manage or delete cookies through your internet browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view cookies, delete existing cookies or block certain cookies from being stored.

Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality.

Deleting cookies from your browser may also remove your saved cookie preferences, meaning you may be asked to make your choices again.

Browser settings alone may not prevent all third-party tracking technologies from operating. Our website's consent mechanism should therefore be used alongside browser controls.

6. How long cookies are stored

Cookie retention periods vary according to the cookie's purpose, the provider and the configuration of the relevant service.

Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a specified period or until deleted.

The exact cookies, providers, purposes and expiry periods used on our website will be verified against our live Squarespace configuration and any active third-party integrations.

We will maintain an appropriate record of the cookies and similar technologies in use and update this policy when material changes are made.

7. Personal information and our Privacy Policy

Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information where it identifies, or can reasonably be linked to, an individual.

Depending on the technology used, this information may include device identifiers, browser details, IP addresses, website usage information and interactions with embedded content.

Any personal information processed through these technologies will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information about how Emerge Aesthetics collects, uses, stores and protects personal information, including information submitted through our website enquiry form.

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
