Cookie Policy
Last updated: 27 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Holskin Ltd (“Holskin”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit holskin.co.uk.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use and protect your personal information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They allow websites to function effectively and can also be used to remember preferences and understand how visitors interact with a website.
Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage, may perform comparable functions. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to include these technologies where appropriate.
How we use cookies
Holskin uses cookies to help our website operate effectively, provide a smooth browsing experience and understand how our website is being used.
The cookies used on our website may fall into the following categories.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function correctly and cannot generally be switched off through our cookie preferences.
They may be used for purposes such as:
website security;
remembering cookie and privacy preferences;
enabling navigation and core website functionality;
processing forms, bookings or transactions where applicable; and
maintaining sessions while you use the website.
Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website or a service you have requested, your consent is not normally required for their use.
Our website is hosted by Squarespace, which may place necessary cookies depending on the features of the website that you use.
Analytics and performance cookies
With your permission, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the Holskin website.
These cookies can help us understand information such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrived at our website, how visitors navigate through the site and how the website is performing.
We use this information to improve our website, content and overall visitor experience.
Squarespace provides built-in website analytics and may use the following analytics and performance cookies when these have been permitted:
CookiePurposeTypical durationss_cidHelps identify unique visitors and visitor sessions2 yearsss_cpvisitHelps identify unique visitors and visitor sessions2 yearsss_cvisitHelps identify visitor sessions30 minutesss_cvrHelps identify unique visitors and visitor sessions2 yearsss_cvtHelps identify visitor sessions30 minutes
We do not use these non-essential cookies through Squarespace unless they are permitted through the relevant cookie consent settings.
Third-party cookies
Some parts of our website may use services supplied by third parties. Depending on the services enabled on the website, those providers may place their own cookies or use similar technologies.
For example, this could apply to embedded content, appointment booking systems, video services, analytics tools or other integrations.
Where a third-party service uses non-essential cookies requiring consent, we will take appropriate steps to obtain consent before those technologies are used or the third-party service may provide its own consent mechanism.
If we introduce additional analytics, advertising or tracking technologies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy where appropriate.
Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit the Holskin website, you may be shown a cookie banner allowing you to accept, decline or manage non-essential cookies.
You can choose not to allow non-essential cookies. Declining these cookies should not prevent you from accessing the core functionality of our website, although certain optional features may work differently.
You can also change your cookie preferences after your initial choice using the cookie preferences control available on our website.
Most internet browsers also allow you to manage cookies through their settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to delete existing cookies, block certain cookies, block third-party cookies or prevent cookies from being stored altogether.
Please be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies through your browser may affect how some parts of the website function.
How long do cookies remain on your device?
The length of time a cookie remains on your device varies depending on its purpose.
Session cookies are temporary and are usually deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
Where known, typical durations for our Squarespace analytics cookies are included above. Third-party providers may apply their own retention periods.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we change the technology or services used on our website or if legal requirements change.
When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
