This page explains how lamureclinics.com uses cookies and similar browser storage, and why.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files a website can store in your browser to remember information between visits. Related technologies (like browser localStorage or sessionStorage) work similarly but aren't always classed as "cookies" in the legal sense.

2. What this site actually uses

• Website analytics — we use Vercel Web Analytics, which is designed to work without cookies and does not track you individually across sites.
• Booking and staff sign-in — the booking and admin systems use your browser's temporary session storage (cleared when you close the tab) rather than cookies, so nothing persists between visits.
• Payments — when you pay a booking fee, a treatment invoice or a membership, you're taken to Stripe's own secure payment page, hosted on Stripe's domain. Stripe may set its own cookies there under Stripe's own cookie and privacy policy, separate from this site.
• Spam protection — our contact, room hire and report-a-bug forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a submission comes from a person rather than an automated bot. This is strictly necessary to keep the forms working securely, and Cloudflare processes the browser signals involved under its own privacy policy.
• Fonts — the site's typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts. This doesn't set cookies, but your browser's request (including your IP address) is sent to Google to fetch them.
• Maps — our contact and room hire pages show an embedded Google Map of the clinic's location. Google may set its own cookies when the map loads, under Google's own cookie and privacy policy.

3. Why there's no cookie consent banner

UK cookie law (PECR) requires consent before setting non-essential cookies — things like advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. This site does not set any non-essential cookies of its own, and does not use advertising or marketing tracking. Third-party pages and embeds described above (Stripe's payment pages and the Google Map) are governed by those providers' own policies. If we ever add advertising or marketing tracking, we will update this policy and add a proper consent mechanism before doing so, not after.

4. Managing cookies in your browser

Even where a site doesn't require consent, you can always view, block or delete cookies through your browser's settings. Note that blocking cookies on third-party pages, like Stripe's checkout, may affect your ability to complete a payment there.

5. Changes to this policy

We'll update this page if what we use ever changes. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
