Essential Cookies

Certain technologies may be necessary for the website to function correctly or provide a service you’ve requested.

These can include technologies relating to security, website functionality and remembering privacy choices.

Under UK rules, some strictly necessary technologies can be used without obtaining consent, although visitors should still receive appropriate information about them. (Information Commissioner’s Office)

Where consent is required, relevant technologies will only be used in accordance with the choices made through the website’s cookie controls.

Affiliate Links

Some HBT articles contain affiliate links.

Affiliate networks and retailers may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to determine when somebody has followed a link from Hayls Beauty Tales and subsequently made a qualifying purchase.

This allows the appropriate commission to be attributed to HBT.
