Cookie policy
Last updated: July 25, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how netaesthetics.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. The tables below list what actually runs on this site, verified against production on July 25, 2026.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, work more efficiently, and provide reporting information. "First-party cookies" are set by the website you're visiting. "Third-party cookies" are set by other services used on the site. Some services also use local storage, which works the same way from your point of view but is not technically a cookie.
2. How We Use Cookies
2.1 Strictly Necessary
These are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off.
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Local storage | NetAesthetics | Remembers whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies | Until you clear site data |
| __cf_bm | Cookie | Cloudflare | Bot management, set by our security and delivery layer | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Cookie | Cloudflare | Records that you passed a security challenge | 30 minutes |
2.2 Analytics and Measurement
These help us understand how visitors find and use the site. Nothing in this section loads until you accept via the cookie banner. We load Google Tag Manager (container GTM-KZLLH8T5), which in turn fires Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads, plus Microsoft Clarity and the Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes one visitor from another | 2 years |
| _ga_HCXQ2NPXJP | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps session state for this property | 2 years |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Keeps a visitor ID so repeat sessions link together | 1 year |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Groups page views into one session recording | 1 day |
| CLID | Microsoft Clarity (clarity.ms) | Third-party ID used to assemble session replays | 1 year |
The Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon we load does not set a cookie.
2.3 Advertising
These support ad measurement and remarketing. They also load only after you accept.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ads | Attributes a conversion to the ad that led to it | 90 days |
| bcookie, lidc, li_sugr, UserMatchHistory | LinkedIn (linkedin.com) | Set by the LinkedIn Insight Tag, partner ID 2611713, for ad measurement and audience matching | Session to 1 year, set by LinkedIn |
| test_cookie, IDE | Google DoubleClick (doubleclick.net) | Checks cookie support and measures ad performance | 15 minutes to 13 months |
2.4 Functional and CRM
We use HubSpot (portal 8304436) for forms, live chat, and meeting scheduling. Its tracking script loads only after you accept, but cookies below are also set when you submit a form so we can connect your enquiry to your visit.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| hubspotutk | HubSpot | Identifies you across visits so form submissions link to the right contact record | 6 months |
| __hstc | HubSpot | Main tracking cookie: first visit, last visit, and session count | 6 months |
| __hssc | HubSpot | Tracks the current session | 30 minutes |
| __hssrc | HubSpot | Detects whether you restarted your browser | Session |
3. Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner gives you the choice to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Declining means nothing in sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 loads at all. You can change your preference at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser and revisiting. You can also control cookies through your browser settings:
- —View and delete stored cookies individually
- —Block third-party cookies
- —Block all cookies from being set
- —Delete all cookies when you close your browser
4. International Data Transfers

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
