How GlamTouch uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience.

Last updated: March 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how GlamTouch Beauty Studio Pty Ltd (“GlamTouch”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses them on the glamtouch.pro website, and what choices you have regarding their use. By continuing to browse or use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function correctly, work more efficiently and provide useful information to website owners. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status or browsing preferences.

Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and are activated each time you revisit the website that created them. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device once you close your browser or after a period of inactivity.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage and embedded scripts to collect information and improve your experience on our website.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies used on our website into the following groups based on their purpose:

1. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas and form submissions. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly, and they cannot be disabled.

  • Session management — These cookies maintain your session while you browse different pages, ensuring that information you have entered (such as contact form data) is retained as you navigate the site.
  • Security — These cookies help protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other security threats by verifying the authenticity of requests made to our server.
  • Load balancing — When our website receives a high volume of visitors, load-balancing cookies ensure that your requests are directed to the same server throughout your session, providing a smooth browsing experience.

2. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information about page views, traffic sources and user behaviour. The data gathered is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it does not personally identify any individual visitor. We use this information to improve the structure, content and performance of our website.

  • Page view tracking — These cookies record which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page and the order in which you view them. This helps us identify our most popular content and improve areas that may be underperforming.
  • Traffic source analysis — These cookies tell us how you arrived at our website — whether through a search engine, a social media link, a direct visit or a referral from another website. Understanding our traffic sources helps us allocate marketing resources effectively.
  • Error monitoring — If you encounter an error while browsing, analytics cookies help us identify and resolve technical issues more quickly by recording the circumstances under which the error occurred.

3. Preference Cookies

Preference cookies (also known as functionality cookies) allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party service providers whose functionality we have integrated into our pages.

  • Language and region — If our website supports multiple languages or region-specific content, these cookies remember your selection so you do not have to choose again on subsequent visits.
  • Display preferences — These cookies remember visual preferences such as font size or contrast settings, ensuring a consistent and comfortable viewing experience each time you return.
  • Form pre-population — If you have previously submitted a contact or booking enquiry, preference cookies may remember your name and email address to save you time on future visits.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that we use to enhance your experience. We do not control the operation of these cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party’s own privacy and cookie policies. The third-party services we currently use include:

  • Google Analytics — We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google’s analytics cookies collect information such as the number of visitors, the pages they visit and the time spent on each page. All data is processed in aggregate form. You can learn more about Google’s practices by visiting Google’s Privacy Policy, and you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Google Fonts — Our website may load web fonts from Google’s servers to ensure consistent typography across devices. While Google Fonts does not set cookies directly, your browser may make a connection to Google’s servers, and Google may log your IP address. For further details, see Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.
  • Embedded maps — We may embed Google Maps on our contact page to help you locate our studio. Google may set cookies through this embed to measure interaction with the map. You can review Google’s Privacy Policy for more information.

We periodically review the third-party services we use and will update this policy if we add or remove any services that set cookies on your device.

Your Cookie Consent

When you first visit glamtouch.pro, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are always active because they are required for the basic functioning of our website and do not require your consent.

If you accept analytics and preference cookies, a cookie named cookie_consent will be stored on your device for 12 months to remember your choice. If you decline, only essential cookies will be used during your visit.

You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our website, at which point the consent banner will appear again. Alternatively, you can contact us at [email protected] and we will assist you with managing your preferences.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can manage your cookie preferences using the methods described above.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, improvements to our website or updates to applicable laws and regulations. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

If we make significant changes that materially affect your rights or the way we use cookies, we will provide a more prominent notice, such as displaying a notification banner on our website or sending you a direct communication where appropriate.
