What cookies and similar technologies we use on this website, and how to manage them.
This Cookie Policy explains how DermMED Aesthetics uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. We use cookies in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site's owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixels — references in this policy to "cookies" cover all of these.
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies are used as soon as you arrive because the site cannot function without them. We will not set any optional analytics or marketing cookies until you have given consent by selecting "Accept all" or by enabling that category in the preferences panel. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the button below or in the footer of any page.
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be switched off. They do not store any personal information that identifies you.

| nf_jwt | DermMED Aesthetics via Netlify Identity (cookie) | Keeps you signed in to your patient app account. Only set if you sign in. | Until you sign out (renewed about every hour) |
| nf_refresh | DermMED Aesthetics via Netlify Identity (cookie) | Lets your sign-in renew securely without you entering your password again. Only set if you sign in. | Until you sign out |
| dm-basket | DermMED Aesthetics (patient app, local storage) | Remembers the treatments in your basket. Contains item codes and quantities only. | Until you check out or clear your browser data |
| dermmed-app-v2 | DermMED Aesthetics (patient app, offline cache) | Keeps a copy of app pages and images you've viewed so the app opens without signal. Account and payment information is never stored in it. | Until the app is updated or you clear your browser data |
If enabled, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website (for example which pages are visited most and whether visitors encounter errors), so we can improve it. Information collected is aggregated and we configure analytics to be as privacy-friendly as possible (for example, IP truncation). At the time of this policy update, the website does not load any analytics tools by default. This category controls whether we may enable them in future based on your existing consent.
If enabled, marketing cookies may be set by us or by partners to measure the performance of campaigns or to show relevant content elsewhere on the web. At the time of this policy update, the website does not load any marketing tools by default. This category controls whether we may enable them in future based on your existing consent.
Some pages contain links to third-party services such as our online booking provider (Aesthetic Nurse Software) and WhatsApp / Meta. If you click those links you will leave our site and the third party will set its own cookies under its own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control those cookies.
When you pay in our patient app you are taken to a secure payment page run by Tide, our business bank, which may set its own strictly necessary cookies for payment security and fraud prevention under Tide's own policies. If you choose to visit PLIM's website to find out about a payment plan, PLIM's own cookie policy applies.
You can manage cookies in two ways:
Currently there is no industry-agreed standard for how websites should respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals. We treat the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a request to refuse non-essential cookies where it is sent.
We may update this Cookie Policy when our use of cookies changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. If we add new categories of cookies or change the basis on which existing ones are used, we will ask for your consent again.
If you have questions about this policy or about our use of cookies, please contact us at dermedaesthetics@outlook.com or call 01642 638541.
