Cookie Policy

Last updated: 15 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Happy Place (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on happyplaceuk.com (the “Platform”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function properly, remember your preferences, and give us information about how the site is used. Similar technologies include local storage and tracking pixels, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

To keep you signed in to your account
To remember your saved favourites and preferences
To remember your cookie consent choices
To understand how visitors use Happy Place, so we can improve it
To attribute affiliate bookings correctly when you click through to a partner site such as Booking.com, Treatwell, or GetYourGuide

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies that keep you logged in and remember your basic preferences. Without these, core features like saving favourites or staying signed in would not work.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with Happy Place — which pages are popular, how people search, and where they come from. We use this information in aggregate and anonymised form to improve the Platform. You can opt out of these.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These support additional features such as affiliate link tracking, which allows us to earn commission when you book a wellness experience through one of our partners. This does not cost you anything extra.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use:

Google Analytics — website usage analytics
Supabase — authentication and session management
Booking.com, Treatwell, and GetYourGuide — may place their own cookies once you click through to their websites. These are governed by their own cookie and privacy policies, not ours.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit Happy Place, you will be shown a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the footer of our website.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though doing so may affect how well the Platform works, including your ability to stay signed in or save favourites.
