Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files a website asks your browser to store. They let a site remember things between page loads — that you're signed in, or that you've already closed a pop-up. This site also uses your browser's local and session storage, which works in a similar way; both are covered below.

The cookies needed to keep the site working and my admin area secure are always on. Beyond those, I use a small amount of browser storage so the mailing list pop-up doesn't nag you, and advertising cookies set by the Meta pixel so I can see which pages and adverts lead to bookings.

The advertising cookies are only set if you switch them on. A short banner asks the first time you visit; until you choose, nothing beyond the essential cookies is loaded. You can change your mind whenever you like using the Cookie settings link in the footer — it reopens the banner, and the site stops the advertising cookies and clears them straight away.

The banner offers three options. Accept all allows the Meta pixel and its advertising cookies. Customise opens the full list, where each optional category has its own switch and everything optional starts switched off. Decline keeps the site working with the essential cookies only — no advertising cookies, and no data sent to Meta. Saying no is exactly as easy as saying yes, and nothing is blocked or withheld if you decline.

The optional list has one category today, Advertising & measurement, which controls the Meta pixel. If I add another tool later it gets its own switch here, and this page will list what it stores.

Your answer is saved in your browser so you're only asked once. Whichever you pick, you can browse events, send me a message and book a place as normal.

The Meta pixel (ID 1114894601436217) lets me measure how people find me and show my offerings to people who are likely to be interested. It sets the _fbp and fr cookies, which are read by Meta when you visit Facebook, Instagram or other sites that use Meta's tools.

You can adjust what Meta shows you in your ad preferences. If you leave advertising switched off, the pixel is never loaded at all. How your information is handled by Meta is set out in its privacy policy. More on the rest of what I collect is in my Privacy Policy.

• The quickest way is the Cookie settings link in the footer, or the button above — it reopens the banner, where Customise gives you a switch for each optional category. Leave them off and their cookies are cleared.
• Your browser settings let you block or delete cookies and site data, either for every site or for this one. Look for Privacy or Content settings in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge.
• Private or incognito browsing clears cookies when you close the window, so the pixel can't recognise you on your next visit.
• Blocking third-party cookies in your browser stops the Meta cookie being set by this site.
• Ad-industry tools such as youronlinechoices.eu (Europe) and aboutads.info (US) let you opt out of interest-based advertising from many networks at once.

The site will still read perfectly well, and you can still browse events and send me a message. Two things may stop working: paying by card, because Stripe needs its security cookies, and signing in to the admin area. If a checkout refuses to load, try allowing cookies for this site and reloading.

If I add or remove a tool that sets cookies, I'll update this page and the date at the top so you can always see exactly what's in use.

If anything here is unclear, write to hello@denisetehyoga.com — I'm happy to explain what a particular cookie is doing.
