Legal
Cookie & Storage Policy
How our website uses cookies and browser storage — and how you stay in control of them.
Template notice. This policy is a template starting point and is provided as general information only. It does not constitute legal advice. The clinic operating this website is responsible for reviewing and tailoring it — ideally with its own legal or privacy adviser — so it accurately reflects the cookies and storage actually in use before the site goes live.
This policy explains how Lumière Skin & Aesthetics uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies on this website. We aim to keep this as light as possible: by default, the only thing we store is what is needed to remember your cookie choice. Nothing optional runs until you tell us it can.
What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device. Similar technologies — such as localStorage — let a website save small pieces of information in your browser between visits. Both can be used for essential functions, or for optional purposes such as measuring how a site is used.
What this website uses
Essential storage (always on)
We use a single essential item of browser storage (localStorage) to remember whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies. This is what lets the consent banner stop appearing on every page once you have made a choice.
- What it is for: remembering your cookie consent decision so we can honour it across your visit and on future visits.
- Why it is essential: without it, the site could not respect your choice, and you would be asked again on every page.
- What it does not do: it does not track you, identify you, or share anything with third parties. It contains only your preference.
Analytics (optional — only after consent)
We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand, in aggregate, how the website is used — for example, which pages are visited and whether something is broken. This helps us improve the site.
- What it is for: understanding overall usage patterns so we can make the site clearer and more useful.
- When it loads: only after you have given consent. If you decline, or have not yet chosen, no analytics scripts or analytics cookies are loaded at all.
- Your control: you can withdraw consent at any time by clearing this site’s storage in your browser (see below), which removes your saved choice and lets you decide again.
No marketing cookies without consent
We do not load advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not use cross-site tracking, unless you have specifically consented. If you do not opt in, none of these run. We do not sell or share your browsing information for advertising.
How to control or clear cookies and storage
You are always in control. You can review, manage and delete cookies and browser storage at any time:
- In this site: clearing the site’s storage in your browser removes your saved consent choice. The consent banner will then reappear so you can choose again.
- In your browser settings: most browsers let you view stored cookies and site data, block cookies, or delete them — for the whole browser or for an individual website. Look under settings such as “Privacy”, “Cookies and site data”, or “Clear browsing data”.
- Browser help: the major browsers (such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge) each publish step-by-step guides for managing cookies and site data in their own help centres.
Please note that blocking or clearing the essential consent item simply means you will be asked for your cookie choice again. Declining optional cookies will not stop the website from working.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website or to the cookies and storage it uses. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above.
