This Cookie Policy explains how Honey Bel Hair uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and digital platforms. Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They help us provide a smoother, more personalized experience, analyze how our site is used, and deliver relevant content. This policy is part of our broader Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use your personal information. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

Cookies are small data files containing a unique identifier that websites send to your device. They are stored in your browser's directory and allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits. Cookies do not contain viruses, malware, or executable code. They cannot access other files on your device or transmit personal data from your device to us — they only store information you have voluntarily provided or that is generated by your interaction with our site. Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.

We use the following categories of cookies: (1) Strictly Necessary Cookies — essential for the website to function properly. These enable core functionality such as security, session management, and the booking widget. They cannot be disabled in our system.

1. 1Functional Cookies — remember your preferences and choices, such as language, region, and previously selected services, to provide a more personalized experience.

These third parties manage their cookies according to their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control and are not responsible for the cookies set by third-party services. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of these providers directly.

If you disable or delete cookies, certain features of our website may not function properly or at all. The following may be affected: the booking widget may not retain your selections; you may need to re-enter your preferences each visit; some pages may load more slowly; personalized content and recommendations may not be available; you may see repetitive or irrelevant advertising; certain interactive features (forms, live chat) may not work correctly. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for the website to operate.

In addition to cookies, we may use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) and similar technologies. Web beacons are tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to count visitors, track user behavior, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. They can detect whether a specific email has been opened or whether a particular page has been visited. Pixels from platforms like Facebook and Google allow us to measure ad performance and build audience segments for retargeting. These technologies work alongside cookies and are governed by the same consent and management options described above.

When you first visit our website, we display a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in a cookie so we remember your preference on future visits. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website or by clearing your browser cookies, which will re-display the consent banner. If you do not make a choice, we will only set strictly necessary cookies required for the website to function.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our cookie practices. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. For significant changes that affect your privacy, we may also display a prominent notice on our website or send a notification. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
