1. What this covers

This policy explains how The Skin Collective uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) when you use our website and clinic portal. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.

2. Cookies we use

We currently use only essential cookies and storage that are necessary to operate the service:

Authentication and session: to sign you in, keep you signed in, and identify your clinic securely while you use the portal.
Security: to protect against unauthorised access and to keep the service running reliably.
Preferences (local storage): to remember small interface choices on your device — for example, the output layout a staff member last selected.

3. What we do not use

We do not currently use advertising cookies or third-party analytics or tracking cookies, and we do not sell information collected through cookies. If we introduce analytics or other non-essential technologies in future, we will update this policy and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before they are used.

4. Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from signing in and using the clinic portal, as these are required for the service to function.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above will change when we do.
