Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Stirling Pilates (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They’re widely used to make websites work, to improve your experience, and to provide information to the site owner. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others are optional and only set if you agree to them.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels, which work in a comparable way. Where this policy refers to “cookies”, it covers these technologies too.
Your consent
When you first visit the site, you’re shown a cookie banner. Non-essential cookies (such as analytics) are only set after you accept them. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the banner or footer.
Essential cookies don’t require consent because the site can’t function properly without them.
The cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the website to work and to remember your cookie choices. They can’t be switched off.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
[consent-cookie-name] | Stores your cookie consent preferences so you aren’t asked on every visit | 12 months |
Note for publishing: replace
[consent-cookie-name]with the actual cookie set by your consent plugin. Find it in your browser’s DevTools → Application → Cookies after accepting the banner (likely something likecookieyes-consentorcmplz_*depending on the plugin).
Analytics
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, how people arrive, and where they leave — so we can improve it. The data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally. These are only set if you accept analytics cookies.
We use Google Analytics 4 (provider: Google LLC).
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes individual visitors | Up to 2 years |
_ga_04JL4KVZ2B | Maintains session state for our specific analytics property | Up to 2 years |
You can read about how Google uses data on its Privacy & Terms page, and opt out across all sites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies in two ways:
- On this site — use the cookie settings link in the banner or footer to change your preferences at any time.
- In your browser — most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking all cookies may stop parts of this or other websites from working properly.
Guidance for common browsers: Chrome · Safari · Firefox · Edge
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
