Disrupting Beauty Limited, Trading as Unhidden Beauty

Whenever you use our services, we use cookies. 

Cookies are used in various ways, including to offer you our services through our website unhiddenbeautyco.com, to analyse traffic, and for advertising purposes. 

Please read on below to learn more about what a ‘cookie’ is, how we may use them and what your choices are.

What are Cookies?

A web browser cookie is a small text file that a website places on your computer’s web browser.

These cookies store information about the content you view and interact with in order to remember your preferences and settings, or to analyse how you use online services.

Cookies are divided into two categories:

The first categories are:

First party cookies are the cookies served by the owner of the website  – unhiddenbeautyco.com.. Any cookie we place ourselves is a ‘first party cookie’.

Third party cookies are cookies placed by trusted partners that we’ve chosen to allow to do so. These can be advertising partners or security providers. 

They can be either ‘session cookies’ or ‘permanent cookies’:

Session cookies only exist until you close your browser, ending what is called your ‘session’. They are then deleted.

Permanent cookies have a range of different lifespans and stay on your device after the browser is closed. For security reasons, or in other exceptional circumstances, we might sometimes need to give a cookie a long lifespan.

The second categories are:

Web browser cookies which may store information such as your IP address or other identifiers, such as your browser type, and information about the content you view and interact with on digital services. By storing this information, web browser cookies can remember your preferences and settings for online services and analyse how you use them.

Other cookies use tracking technologies. They are used to record how you interact with websites you browse. They may contain small transparent image files or lines of code. They include ‘web beacons’, ‘scripts’ or ‘tracking URLs’:

Web beacons have a lot of different names. They might also be known as web bugs. These tracking beacons are a tiny graphic image of just one pixel that can be delivered to your device as part of any web page request, in an app, an advertisement or an HTML email message.

They can be used to retrieve information from your device, such as your device type or operating system, your IP address, and the time of your visit. They are also used to serve and read cookies in your browser or to trigger the placement of a cookie.

Scripts are small computer programs embedded within web pages that give those pages a wide variety of extra functionality. Scripts make it possible for the website to function properly. For example, scripts power certain security features and enable basic interactive features on websites.

Scripts can also be used for analytical or advertising purposes. For example, a script can collect information about how you use a website, such as which pages you visit or what you search for.

Tracking URLs are links with a unique identifier in them. These are used to track which website brought you to our website. An example would be if you click through from a social media page, search engine or other website.

All these tracking technologies are referred to as ‘cookies’ here in this Cookie Policy.
