This Cookie Policy explains how Dr Amena Shelleh, trading as Dr Shelleh Aesthetics (“we”, “us” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.

For information about how we handle personal information more generally, please read our Privacy Policy.

2. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, including local storage and technical identifiers, may perform related functions.

Some cookies last only for your browsing session. Others remain for a set period so that a website or service can remember information when you return.

3. How this website uses these technologies

This website currently uses only cookies and similar technologies needed to:

• remember and respect cookie preferences;
• operate the website securely;
• protect the consultation-request form from spam and automated misuse;
• support essential WordPress functions; and
• identify and respond to potentially malicious automated activity.

The website does not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, advertising cookies, performance cookies or marketing cookies. We do not use cookies to profile visitors for marketing or to sell personal information.

If analytics, advertising or other non-essential technologies are introduced later, they will not be activated unless any required choice has been provided. This policy and the website’s cookie controls will be updated first.

Google reCAPTCHA

Google reCAPTCHA helps protect the consultation-request form from spam, automated submissions and other misuse. It uses security analysis to help distinguish legitimate interactions from automated or potentially abusive activity.

The following reCAPTCHA cookies or identifiers were detected:

• _GRECAPTCHA — provided by Google; used for spam prevention and security risk analysis; duration of up to six months.
• rc::a — provided by Google; used to identify automated or potentially malicious activity; stored persistently and may not have a fixed expiry date.
• rc::f — provided by Google; used to identify automated or potentially malicious activity; stored persistently and may not have a fixed expiry date.
• rc::b — provided by Google; used for spam prevention and security analysis; retained for the browsing session.
• rc::c — provided by Google; used for spam prevention and security analysis; retained for the browsing session.

These technologies are categorised as necessary security technologies because they protect the consultation-request service from spam and automated misuse.

When reCAPTCHA operates, Google may receive technical and security information such as an IP address, browser or device information, interaction data and risk signals. Google may process information outside the United Kingdom.

5. Cookie notice and browser controls

Because the website currently uses only necessary technologies, it does not present optional analytics, advertising or marketing categories for visitors to accept or reject.

The cookie notice provides information about the technologies in use. Selecting Continue closes the notice. It does not activate analytics, advertising or marketing cookies.

Necessary technologies cannot be switched off through the website’s cookie controls because they support security, remember the information requested through the cookie notice or provide essential website functions.

You can use your browser settings to view, block or delete cookies and related site data. Blocking necessary technologies may prevent parts of the website, including the consultation-request form or cookie-information controls, from working correctly.

6. External websites

This website contains links to external services, including Facebook, Instagram and Google. Following one of these links takes you to a service controlled by another organisation, which may use cookies or similar technologies under its own privacy and cookie terms.

We do not control the technologies used after you leave this website.

7. Reviewing our use of cookies

We may periodically scan and review the website to identify the cookies and similar technologies in use. Providers may update the names, functions or durations of their technologies from time to time.

We will update this policy where reasonably necessary to keep the information accurate and to reflect material changes to the website or its providers.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if the website, its services, the technologies it uses or applicable requirements change. The date at the top of the page shows when the current version was last updated.
