2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website.

They can help a website:

  • work correctly and securely

  • remember your preferences

  • understand how visitors use the website

  • support booking, payment or social-media features

  • measure the effectiveness of advertising

Similar technologies, including pixels, scripts, tags and local storage, may perform comparable functions.

UK cookie rules apply to technologies that store information on a user’s device or access information already stored there. (ICO)

3. How this website uses cookies

Sarah Zacal Beauty may use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate properly.

They may be used for:

  • website security

  • network management

  • fraud prevention

  • remembering cookie preferences

  • maintaining forms or website sessions

  • enabling booking or payment functionality

Essential cookies cannot normally be disabled through the website’s cookie settings because the website may not function correctly without them.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features.

They may remember:

  • language or display preferences

  • accessibility choices

  • information entered during a session

  • settings connected with embedded features

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help Sarah Zacal Beauty understand how visitors use the website.

They may collect information such as:

  • which pages are visited

  • how visitors reached the website

  • how long visitors remain on a page

  • which links or buttons are used

  • general device, browser and location information

  • whether visitors encounter website errors

This information is used to improve the website, its content and the booking experience.

Wix provides website-performance and analytics services, and analytics may depend on whether visitors accept the relevant cookie category. (Wix Support)

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to:

  • measure advertising performance

  • track visits following an advertisement

  • create audiences for advertising

  • limit how often an advert is shown

  • display advertising that may be more relevant

These cookies should only be activated where the relevant marketing services are connected to the website and you have given consent.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be placed by external services used or linked to by the website.

These may include:

  • Wix

  • SumUp

  • Google

  • Instagram

  • Meta

  • WhatsApp

  • embedded maps, videos or social-media content

Sarah Zacal Beauty does not directly control all cookies placed by third-party websites. Their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant provider.

4. Wix cookies

The website is created and hosted using Wix.

Wix may use cookies to:

  • operate and secure the website

  • identify registered website users, where applicable

  • remember website preferences

  • monitor performance and reliability

  • provide analytics and business tools

  • support forms and other website features

Wix states that it uses cookies for website operation, security, user identification and platform performance. (Wix Support)

The exact Wix cookies in use may vary depending on which Wix features and applications are enabled.

5. Booking and payment services

The website may link to or use SumUp for online booking and payment services.

When you open a SumUp booking or payment page, SumUp may place its own essential, functional, analytics or other cookies.

Cookies used on SumUp’s website or booking platform are controlled by SumUp and are subject to SumUp’s own privacy and cookie information. SumUp states that it processes personal information in accordance with its privacy policy and relevant data-protection law. (SumUp Support Centre)

6. Google services

The website may use Google services such as:

  • Google Analytics

  • Google Maps

  • Google Search Console

  • Google Ads conversion tracking

  • embedded Google content

Google Analytics and advertising services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about visits and actions on the website.

Where a Wix cookie banner is enabled, Google Analytics should only collect data after a visitor accepts the relevant cookies. (Wix Support)

Before publishing: remove references to Google Analytics or Google Ads if these services are not connected to the website.

7. Social-media and communication services

The website may include links or embedded features from Instagram, Facebook, Meta or WhatsApp.

Simply following an ordinary external link may take you to the provider’s website or application. That provider may then collect information and use cookies according to its own policies.

Embedded social-media content or tracking tools may place cookies while you remain on the Sarah Zacal Beauty website, but only where those features are installed and permitted by your cookie choices.

8. Consent and the cookie banner

When you first visit the website, you may see a cookie banner allowing you to:

  • accept all cookies

  • reject non-essential cookies

  • select which categories you accept

Essential cookies may be used without consent where they are strictly necessary to provide the website or a service you have requested.

Non-essential cookies, including most analytics and marketing cookies, should not be used before you have actively consented to them.

The Information Commissioner’s Office states that websites must clearly explain the cookies they use and obtain active consent unless a strict necessity exception applies. (ICO)

Wix’s cookie-banner tools can prevent non-essential cookies and scripts from operating until the visitor provides consent. (Wix Support)

9. Changing or withdrawing your consent

You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.

You may be able to do this by selecting a Cookie Settings or Manage Cookies link displayed in the website footer or cookie banner.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of cookies used before your preference was changed.

Some website features may not work as intended if you reject or disable certain cookies.

10. Managing cookies through your browser

Most browsers allow you to:

  • view stored cookies

  • delete individual or all cookies

  • block cookies from particular websites

  • block third-party cookies

  • block all cookies

  • receive a warning before a cookie is stored

Browser settings vary. Check the privacy or security section of your browser for the relevant controls.

Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of this and other websites.

11. Cookie duration

Cookies may be either:

Session cookies

These normally expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies

These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

The lifespan of each cookie depends on its purpose and the provider that places it.

Sarah Zacal Beauty will aim to avoid retaining cookie information for longer than reasonably necessary. The ICO advises organisations to consider and justify how long persistent cookies remain active. (ICO)

12. Cookies currently used

The exact cookie names and durations can change when Wix, SumUp or other website services are updated.

The website’s cookie banner or cookie settings panel should display the current list of cookies identified by the website scanner.

A typical table may include:
