Version 1.0 · Last updated: 14 August 2026 · Prepared in accordance with PECR as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 and the ICO's guidance of 29 April 2026.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and (where you consent) measure how people use it.
2. Categories we use
Strictly necessary - required for the site to work. No consent needed; no opt-out available.
Statistical - iBeautify does not currently operate statistical analytics cookies or scripts. If introduced, we will update this policy and banner and obtain any consent required before they operate.
Appearance and functionality - remember preferences such as your cookie choice. Opt-out available.
Marketing and advertising - used to show you relevant adverts on other sites. These are off by default and require your explicit opt-in before any marketing cookie fires.
As of the date of this policy, iBeautify does not use marketing or cross-site tracking cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy, update the banner, and ask for your consent before any marketing cookie is set.
3. Cookie table
| Cookie name | Purpose | Category | Party | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ib_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preferences (categories, timestamp, policy version) | Strictly necessary | First | 13 months |
| PHPSESSID / session | Session management for the Fresha booking page (Fresha domain only, set when you follow the book link) | Strictly necessary | Third (Fresha) | Session |
The Fresha booking link is an outbound link, not an embed. Fresha sets cookies on the Fresha domain, not on ibeautify.co.uk.
4. How to manage your preferences
Use the link to change your preferences at any time. You can also:
- Configure your browser to block or delete cookies - see your browser's help pages.
- Use your browser's private / incognito mode to browse without storing cookies.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will affect how the site works.
5. Changes to this policy
If the cookies we use change materially, we will update this policy, update the "Last updated" date, bump the policy version number, and show the cookie banner again so you can review your choices.
