This Cookie Policy explains how Celestial House uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. Please read it alongside our Privacy Policy. You can update your cookie choices at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.
Similar technologies — including pixels, local storage, session storage and tags — work in a comparable way and are also covered by this policy. Where we refer to "cookies" below, we mean all of these technologies.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third parties such as analytics providers, advertising platforms or payment processors (third-party cookies).
Cookie categories
We use — or may use in future — the following categories of cookies:
- 1. Strictly necessary — Required for the website or a service you have requested to function. They may include session security, login authentication, checkout and payment flow, booking flow, fraud prevention, and the storage of your cookie consent preferences. You cannot opt out of these, and we do not need your consent to set them.
- 2. Preferences / functionality — Remember your settings and choices (such as language or display preferences) so we do not need to ask each time you visit.
- 3. Analytics / performance — Help us understand how visitors use Celestial House so we can improve it. We plan to use Google Analytics. Data is used in aggregate. These cookies require your consent.
- 4. Marketing / advertising — Enable personalised advertising, retargeting and conversion tracking through platforms such as Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel or Google Ads. Not currently active. These cookies require your consent.
- 5. Affiliate / referral — Track referrals from approved partners, practitioners or influencers so they receive appropriate credit. Not currently active. These cookies require your consent.
We do not treat analytics, advertising, retargeting, affiliate or referral tracking as strictly necessary. We will not set cookies in those categories without your consent.
Cookie table
Pre-launch notice: The table below contains placeholder rows based on our expected cookie use. We will audit the deployed site before launch — checking cookies at initial page load, after "Reject all", after "Accept all", and across key journeys including the free sample form, practitioner application form, booking flow and account pages. We will update this table to reflect the actual cookies found before publishing the final version.
| Cookie or technology | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration | 1st / 3rd party | Consent required |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) | Measures site usage and visitor behaviour to help us improve the experience. | Analytics / performance | Up to 2 years | 3rd party | Yes | |
| Cookie consent preference | Celestial House | Stores your cookie preference choices so we do not ask you again on every visit. | Strictly necessary | 1 year | 1st party | No |
| Session / security cookies | Replit / hosting provider or Celestial House | Maintains your session, keeps the site secure and enables authentication. | Strictly necessary | Session | 1st party | No |
| Payment / checkout cookies | Stripe or payment provider | Supports secure payment and checkout flow where required. | Strictly necessary (where required for checkout) | Session / short-term | 3rd party | No |
| Replit / deployment cookies | Replit / hosting provider | To be confirmed following audit of the deployed site. | To be confirmed | To be confirmed | To be confirmed | To be confirmed |
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is categorised as an analytics / performance cookie. It does not load until you have accepted analytics cookies.
We use Google Consent Mode v2. Before you make a choice, consent signals default to denied:
- `analytics_storage`: denied
- `ad_storage`: denied
- `ad_user_data`: denied
- `ad_personalization`: denied
If you accept analytics cookies, `analytics_storage` is updated to granted and Google Analytics loads. If you reject analytics cookies, Google Analytics does not load and no analytics cookies are set on your device.
If you also accept marketing / advertising cookies, the advertising signals (`ad_storage`, `ad_user_data`, `ad_personalization`) are also updated to granted.
Marketing and advertising
We may add marketing and advertising pixels in future — including Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Google Ads conversion tags or retargeting pixels. These are not currently active.
When added, they will be categorised as marketing / advertising and will not load unless you have accepted marketing / advertising cookies.
Affiliate and referral tracking
We may add affiliate, partner, practitioner, influencer or referral tracking in future. This is not currently active.
When added, it will be categorised as affiliate / referral and will not load unless you have accepted affiliate / referral cookies.
Where referral attribution can be handled server-side without non-essential device storage, we will document that separately.
Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time:
- Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page on this site.
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will affect how the site functions.

Changes to this policy
We will update this Cookie Policy when we add new cookies or tracking technologies, and after we have completed the pre-launch cookie audit. We will update the "Last updated" date whenever this policy changes.
We encourage you to review this page periodically, particularly before and after any significant changes to how the site is used.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we collect, use and store personal data more broadly.
