Permanent vs. session cookies and first-party vs. third-party cookies.
A distinction is made between permanent and session cookies on the one hand and first-party and third-party cookies on the other hand.

• Permanent cookies remain on the user’s device for a specific period of time.
• Session cookies are deleted after the user closes the browser.
• First-party cookies are cookies installed by Salonkee itself on its website.
• Third-party cookies are cookies installed by other parties (i.e. cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting, e.g. Google Analytics cookies).

Strictly Necessary Cookies (first party – session).
Strictly Necessary Cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be deactivated in our cookie banner. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling out forms. They help us to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts. These cookies are set directly on your browser by Salonkee based on our legitimate interest in providing a well-functioning and secure website.

Functional Cookies (first party or third party – permanent).
Functional Cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. Preference cookies are cookies that automatically remember the choices that you have previously made in order to improve your experience next time you visit the website (e.g. where you select your preferred language or remember settings such as whether or not you have logged in already). The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you use the website. These cookies are set based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

These cookies provide us with information about the use of our website and help us optimize our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the website. All the information these cookies collect is aggregated. We may also use these cookies to test new pages, features or new functionality of the Website to see how our users react to them. The information gathered via these cookies may directly or indirectly identify you as an individual visitor. This is because the information collected is typically linked to a pseudonymous identifier associated with the device you use to access the website.
If you do not allow these cookies, we do not know when you visited our site, and we will not be able to monitor its performance. These cookies are set based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Targeting Cookies (third party – permanent).

You can withdraw your consent at any time. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Social Media Cookies (third party – permanent).
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party plug-ins from social media networking websites such as Facebook or Instagram to report usage statistics of the website and to provide social media features. These third-party plug-ins may store cookies. We do not control these Social Media Cookies.
