This page explains how Beauty Forest uses cookies and similar technologies on beautyforest.co.uk. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We use cookies in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your choices, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies — such as pixels, tags and local storage — work in comparable ways, and we refer to all of these as “cookies” on this page.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to keep the Site running, to remember the contents of your basket and your preferences, to understand how the Site is used so we can improve it, and — where you have given consent — to help us with marketing. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Site cannot function properly without them. All other cookies are only set with your consent.
Categories of cookies we use
| Category | What it does | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Essential for the Site to work — for example your shopping basket, secure checkout, login session and security. These cannot be switched off. | WooCommerce basket and session cookies; security and load-balancing cookies. |
| Functional | Remember choices you make to give you a better, more personal experience. | Recently viewed items, saved preferences, region or display settings. |
| Performance & analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can measure and improve it. The information is aggregated. | Analytics cookies such as Google Analytics (where enabled). |
| Marketing | Used to deliver and measure advertising that is more relevant to you, and may be set by advertising partners. | Advertising and social-media pixels (only set with your consent). |
The specific cookies in use may change as we update the Site and the tools we use. We recommend reviewing your browser settings and our cookie controls for the current position.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us, such as payment providers, our content delivery and security network, analytics providers and, where you consent, marketing and social-media platforms. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them.
Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit the Site, you can choose which non-essential cookies to allow. You can change your choice at any time using our cookie settings, or by clearing cookies in your browser.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Helpful guidance is available for each major browser:
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Site — such as the basket and checkout — from working properly.
Consent and withdrawing consent
For all cookies other than strictly necessary ones, we rely on your consent. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through our cookie settings without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.
Changes to this page
We may update this Cookie Information from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted here with an updated date.
