Our Cookie Policy
At Breathe Wellness Ltd, we are committed to providing you with a transparent and secure online experience. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website, breathewellness.co.uk, to enhance your browsing, understand your preferences, and ensure the smooth operation of our services.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can perform various functions, such as remembering your preferences, tracking your activity across sites, or enabling certain features.
They essentially act as a memory for the website, allowing it to recognize your device on subsequent visits and tailor your experience accordingly. Without cookies, websites would treat you as a new visitor every time you open a new page, making tasks like logging in or keeping items in a shopping cart much more cumbersome.
