Last updated: January 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to provide information to website owners, and to enhance the user experience by remembering preferences and login states. Belunik Wellness Studio Pty Ltd, operating at 25 Erskine Street, Sydney NSW 2000 under ABN 83 947 261 504, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on belunik.com in accordance with this policy and applicable Australian privacy legislation. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and session identifiers that perform comparable functions to cookies. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional detail about how we handle personal information collected through our website and studio services throughout 2026.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on our website, each serving a distinct and legitimate purpose. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems; they enable core features such as page navigation, secure form submission, and access to protected areas of the site. Performance cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most frequently and whether error messages are encountered, helping us improve site structure and content over time. Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, to provide a more personalised experience during return visits. Analytics cookies help us understand visitor behaviour patterns so we can optimise class booking flows and ensure that information about our Sydney wellness services is presented clearly and accessibly.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as embedded map widgets, font delivery networks, and analytics providers. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activities across different websites over time for their own purposes, subject to their respective privacy policies. Belunik Wellness Studio selects third-party partners carefully and requires that they comply with applicable data protection standards when processing information on our behalf. We do not permit third-party advertising networks to place tracking cookies on our website, and we do not engage in cross-site behavioural advertising. Google Fonts, which we use to display typography on our site, may set cookies or collect usage data according to Google's own privacy practices, which we encourage you to review independently.

4. How Long Cookies Are Stored

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser; they are used primarily to maintain your navigation state during a single visit to belunik.com. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them through your browser settings. The retention period for each persistent cookie varies depending on its purpose, ranging from thirty days for preference cookies to up to twenty-four months for aggregated analytics data. We review our cookie inventory regularly and remove or update cookies that are no longer necessary for the operation or improvement of our website. Details of specific cookie names, providers, purposes, and retention periods are available upon request by contacting belunik@hotmail.com.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including the ability to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete existing cookies from your device. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website, particularly features related to form submission, session management, and personalised content display. Instructions for managing cookies are typically found in the Help or Settings section of your browser. For Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, you can access cookie controls through the privacy or security settings menu. Mobile device users can manage cookies through the browser application settings on iOS and Android platforms. If you have previously accepted cookies and wish to withdraw consent, clearing your browser cookies will reset your preferences on your next visit to our website. We respect Do Not Track signals where technically feasible, although industry standards for responding to such signals remain evolving across different browser platforms in 2026.
