What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of information placed on a computer, phone or other device when someone uses a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, scripts and other ways of storing or reading information on a device.
Some technologies are strictly necessary to provide a service or protect it. Others, such as most analytics and advertising technologies, normally require a clear choice before they can be used.
What Tip2Toe currently uses
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| salon-booking-admin-session | Keeps an authorised team member securely signed in to the staff area. | Strictly necessary first-party cookie | Up to 8 hours |
| salon-booking-admin-csrf | Helps protect staff actions against forged requests. | Strictly necessary first-party cookie | Staff browser session |
| tip2toe-cookie-preferences | Remembers the essential-only preference saved on this page. | Strictly necessary first-party local storage | Up to 6 months |
| tip2toe-accessibility-preferences | Remembers larger text, contrast, motion and link choices made on the Accessibility page. | Strictly necessary first-party local storage | Up to 1 year |
The two staff cookies are created only when an authorised team member signs in. A customer can browse services and make a booking without those staff cookies.
Your choices
Strictly necessary technologies cannot be switched off through this page because they provide requested security or remember the choice made here. They are not used for advertising.
Functionality, analytics and marketing are currently off and not used. If Tip2Toe introduces any optional technology, it must be listed here and remain disabled until the visitor makes a clear choice. Rejecting it must be as straightforward as accepting it.
Saving an essential-only preference creates the preference record listed above. Clearing it removes that record, but does not remove staff security cookies from a signed-in staff session.
Browser controls
Most browsers allow people to view, delete or block stored cookies and website data. Blocking all cookies may prevent the staff administration area from working correctly. Private browsing can also limit how long local information remains on a device.
Browser instructions vary, so use the privacy or website-data section in the browser's settings for the device being used.
Changes and questions
This page must be reviewed before any analytics, embedded media, live chat, advertising, payment or other third-party technology is added. The list, purposes, providers, durations and preference controls will be updated when the website's actual use changes.
Questions can be sent to the privacy contact shown in the Privacy Policy. Independent guidance is available from the Information Commissioner's Office.
