The short version
This site sets no advertising or analytics cookies. Nothing here tracks you, so there's no banner to click away. What little we store is what makes the site work.
What's actually stored
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| cosmegtic-welcome | Remembers you've dismissed the welcome message, so it doesn't greet you every visit | Until you clear your browser |
| Sign-in token | Only if you sign in to the student portal or studio hire — it's what keeps you signed in | Until you sign out |
Both are what the rules call "strictly necessary": they're there to provide something you asked for. That's why we don't ask permission for them, and it's why there's no cookie banner on this site.
When you pay
Paying takes you to Stripe's own checkout page. Stripe sets its own cookies there, on their domain, mainly to spot fraud. That's covered by Stripe's privacy policy.
Fonts
Our typefaces load from Google Fonts. That means Google receives your IP address when a page loads — no cookie is set, but it is a request to a third party, so we'd rather say so than not.
What we don't do
- No Google Analytics or any other analytics
- No advertising or remarketing pixels
- No Facebook or TikTok tracking, despite links to both
- No profiling, and no automated decisions about you
Turning them off
Every browser lets you block or clear storage in its settings. Blocking it won't break the site — you'll just get the welcome message each visit, and you won't be able to stay signed in to the portal.
