Cookie Policy

Last updated: 15 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how pamellaedwards.com and its opt-in/checkout pages (hosted on our email and checkout platform, Systeme.io) use cookies and similar technologies.

4.1 What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help a site function properly and can also be used to understand how visitors use the site, or to show relevant advertising.

4.2 Cookies used on this Website

The main pamellaedwards.com pages themselves set no cookies at all when simply browsed. However, our free-guide opt-in page and checkout, hosted on nourish-and-heal.systeme.io, set the cookies listed below once a visitor interacts with the form.

Strictly necessary cookies

• A Systeme.io session/contact cookie (e.g. "contact_id" or similar) — required to remember your form submission and process your opt-in or purchase. This cannot be switched off without breaking the opt-in/checkout functionality.

Analytics cookies

• _ga, _ga_[property ID] — Google Analytics, used to understand how visitors use the opt-in and checkout pages.

Advertising / marketing cookies

• _gcl_au, _gcl_aw, _gcl_gs — Google Ads / Google Click ID cookies, used to measure the effectiveness of Google advertising and link ad clicks to conversions.
• _fbp — Meta (Facebook) Pixel, used to measure the effectiveness of Facebook/Instagram advertising and to build audiences for future ads.

Payment-related cookies

• A Stripe cookie (e.g. "__stripe_mid" or similar) — used by our payment processor, Stripe, for fraud prevention during checkout.

4.3 Why this matters for consent

Because Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Meta Pixel cookies are for analytics/advertising rather than strictly necessary functionality, UK/EU cookie law (PECR, alongside GDPR) requires visitors to give informed consent before these are set — not just be informed after the fact.

4.4 Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and where a consent banner is in place, through the preferences it offers. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the opt-in form or checkout from working.
