Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 14, 2026
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly. It explains what cookies are, how Corelyx Tattoo Studio uses them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1) What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as basic session continuity and, where permitted, usage patterns that help improve the site.
In addition to cookies, similar technologies may be used on modern websites, including pixel tags (small code snippets that can register a page view or conversion event) and, in some configurations, server-side tracking that relies on request metadata such as IP address and User-Agent. When we refer to “cookies” in this document, we include these related technologies to the extent they are used on our site.
2) Cookie lifespans and origins
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Cookies can also be:
- First-party cookies, set by this website (Corelyx Tattoo Studio).
- Third-party cookies, set by a service provider whose technology is used on the site (for example, an analytics or advertising provider), subject to your consent where required.
3) Categories of cookies we use
We group cookies into three categories. These categories match the controls you see in our cookie banner and cookie preferences panel.
A) Essential cookies (always on)
Essential cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They support basic site operations such as session continuity and remembering your cookie choices. These cookies do not require consent in many jurisdictions because the site cannot work reliably without them.
Examples include our session cookie and the cookie that stores whether you have accepted or rejected non-essential cookies.
B) Analytics cookies (optional)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. For example, they can show which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter errors. We use this information to improve content structure, navigation clarity, and performance.
When enabled, analytics may include Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization settings. Analytics cookies are activated only if you opt in through our cookie banner or preferences panel.
Typical analytics data includes page views, approximate location derived from IP (not precise GPS), device type, browser version, and interaction signals such as time-on-page. We use analytics to improve the studio website and booking journey, not to identify you by name.
C) Marketing cookies (optional)
Marketing cookies are used to measure advertising performance and to build audiences for showing relevant ads. For a local studio, this typically includes understanding which ads lead to consultation requests and helping reduce irrelevant ad delivery.
When enabled, marketing cookies may include Google Ads conversion and remarketing technologies and Meta Pixel technologies. Marketing cookies are activated only if you opt in through our cookie banner or preferences panel.
Marketing cookies can support:
- Conversion attribution (understanding whether an ad led to a form submission).
- Remarketing (showing ads to people who visited certain pages, such as Services or Gallery).
- Audience modeling (for example, creating lookalike audiences), where permitted by the provider and by law.
4) Cookie table
The table below lists common cookies used for the categories described above. Not every visitor will receive every cookie; it depends on your settings, your browser, and whether you opt into optional categories.
| Name | Purpose | Category | Type | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _site_session | Site session continuity | Essential | First-party | Session |
| cookie_consent | Stores your consent choice | Essential | First-party | 12 months |
| _ga | GA4 user identifier | Analytics | Third-party | 2 years |
| _ga_XXXXXXXXXX | GA4 session state (10-char GA4 ID) | Analytics | Third-party | 2 years |
| _gcl_au | Google Ads conversion linker | Marketing | Third-party | 90 days |
| _fbp | Meta Pixel browser identifier | Marketing | Third-party | 90 days |
| _fbc | Meta Pixel click identifier | Marketing | Third-party | 90 days |
Retention periods can change based on provider updates and your browser settings. Where required, we will update this policy to reflect material changes.
5) Third-party providers
Depending on your consent choices, we may use the following providers:
- Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager)
- Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Pixel and related advertising tools)
- Cloudflare (CDN and security controls, including IP-based threat detection)
We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Providers process data under their own terms and policies, and we configure our tools to respect your consent choice.
6) How to manage cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Cookie preferences panel: Use the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer to review and change your selections.
- Browser controls: Most browsers allow you to delete cookies or block some or all cookies. Blocking essential cookies may cause parts of the site to stop working properly.
- Provider controls: Some providers offer additional opt-out tools.
Common provider opt-out resources:
- Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Google Ads Settings
- Meta (Facebook) Ad Preferences
- Your Online Choices (EU)
If you clear your cookies, you will be asked to set your preferences again because your previous choice will be removed.
7) Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate the website. When changes are material, we will post an updated version on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
