This Cookies Policy explains how Physia Clinic (“we” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (PhysiaClinic.com) and platform. It also explains your choices regarding these technologies. This policy is intended to complement our Privacy Policy, and it is drafted in compliance with applicable laws including the EU ePrivacy Directive/UK Privacy Regulations (PECR), GDPR, and relevant aspects of laws like CCPA/CPRA regarding tracking technologies.
By using our website, you can choose whether to allow non-essential cookies as described below. Your continued use of our site with cookies enabled signifies your consent to our use of cookies, as explained in this policy.
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by Physia Clinic) or “third- party” (set by other domains, like analytics or advertising partners). They can remain on your device for different periods – “session cookies” are deleted when you close your browser, while “persistent cookies” remain until they expire or you delete them.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons (tiny graphics tracking opens/clicks), pixels, or local storage. For simplicity, all these technologies are referred to as “cookies” in this policy.
Physia Clinic uses the following categories of cookies:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, account login, and security. Without these cookies, services you have asked for (like logging into your account or adding items to a cart) cannot be provided. For example: session cookies that keep you logged in as you navigate pages.
(Legal basis: These cookies do not require consent under EU law, but we inform you of them. They are used based on our legitimate interest in delivering a functioning service.)Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors use our website – which pages are visited most often, how users navigate through the site, error messages, loading times, etc. The data is used to improve our website’s design, functionality, and performance. For example: we use Google Analytics or similar tools that set cookies to help us analyze site traffic and usage . The information gathered is typically de-identified and used in aggregate form.
(Legal basis: Consent – we will only set analytics cookies if you opt-in via our cookie banner/preferences, where required by law.)Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For instance, they might remember your preferred language, region, or other customization preferences so you don’t have to set them every time .

(Legal basis: Consent for certain jurisdictions, or legitimate interest where the functionality is necessary to provide the service you requested. We will obtain consent for any non-essential functionality cookies.)Targeting/Advertising Cookies: We may use these cookies to deliver content or ads that are more relevant to your interests. They can limit the number of times you see an ad and help measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns . These may be placed by advertising networks with our permission, or by social media plugins (if any on our site) to track user activity across sites. Currently, Physia Clinic does not host third- party ads on our platform, but we reserve the right to use targeted advertising for our own services.
(Legal basis: Consent. We will not set targeting cookies without your opt-in. California users: these cookies may be considered a “share” of personal info for cross-context behavioral advertising; you can opt out via the “Do Not Sell/Share” link if cookies are used for such purposes.)Third-Party Cookies: As noted, some cookies on our site are set by third parties.
