Cookie Policy for Lucy Clarke Nutrition & Acupuncture
(Last updated June 2025)
At Lucy Clarke Nutrition & Acupuncture, your privacy matters. Like most websites, we use cookies to help our site run smoothly, give you the best experience, and learn how people use our pages — so we can keep improving.
This policy explains what cookies are, what types we use, how you can manage them, and how this all fits in with data protection laws like the UK GDPR and EU GDPR.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that get saved on your device (like your phone or laptop) when you visit a website. Some are essential for things like logging in or placing orders, while others help us understand what’s working on our site — and what could be better.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Make the website function properly
- Remember your preferences (like login or newsletter status)
- Track how the site is used (via tools like Google Analytics)
- Support services like online bookings, payments or surveys
- Help us understand what content is most helpful to you
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Essential cookies | These are needed for the site to work – for example, for secure login or payment processing. Without these, the website won’t function properly. |
| Performance cookies | These help us understand how visitors interact with our site — such as which pages are most popular or how long people stay. We often use Google Analytics for this. |
| Functional cookies | These remember choices you make, like form details or language settings, to give you a smoother experience. |
| Marketing and affiliate cookies | These allow us (and sometimes trusted partners) to show relevant ads or track if you visited from another site. We may use tools like Google Ads, Meta/Facebook Pixel or affiliate tracking. |
| Social media cookies | If you use social sharing buttons (like Facebook or Instagram), those platforms may set cookies to personalise your experience on their sites. |

- Know what personal data is being collected (including via cookies)
- Say no to non-essential cookies (via a consent banner or settings)
- Withdraw your cookie consent at any time
- Ask us to delete or provide a copy of your data
We rely on your consent to place any cookies that are not strictly necessary (e.g. analytics or marketing cookies). You can change or withdraw this consent at any time via your browser settings or our cookie banner.
How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You’re always in control. You can:
- Adjust cookie preferences via our website banner (if shown)

Data Retention & Security
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain for a set time (persistent cookies). We do not store any personal information in cookies that could directly identify you.
All cookie data is handled with care and in line with our Privacy Policy, which covers how your data is collected, stored, and used.
