Legal

Cookies, with no ulterior motive.

We use cookies sparingly and only where they keep the platform running. No advertising tracking, no profiles for third parties, no hidden observation. This page explains what we store, why, for how long and how you control it.

Our stance

Data minimisation as the default

This is an English translation provided for convenience. The German version is the legally binding one.

A cookie is a small text file your browser stores on your device when you visit salon.care. We treat each of these files as what it is: a technical step that serves a specific purpose, and not as a tool for following you around the web.

Saloncare runs on a lean architecture with no conventional tracking libraries. We embed no advertising networks, we sell no reach and we build no behavioural profiles. What we store serves the operation of the site, signing in to the platform and, if you agree, a simple, anonymised measurement of reach. Nothing more.

This policy complements our privacy policy. Where it conflicts with mandatory law, the law prevails.

What we use

Three categories, clearly separated

We group everything that lands on your device into three comprehensible categories. Only the first is active without your agreement.

Strictly necessary

These keep the site working: the session, signing in to the platform, your language choice, protection against form abuse. Without them salon.care does not function; they are therefore always active and require no consent under the German Telecommunications Digital Services Act.

Reach measurement, anonymous

A lean, data-minimising count of page views, with no identifier that persists across sessions. It helps us understand which content is needed. This category is active only if you agree and can be switched off at any time.

Advertising cookies, deliberately none

We list this category only to make clear that it is empty. We set no cookies for advertising, retargeting or sharing data with advertising networks. There is nothing to manage here, because there is nothing.

In detail

The individual entries

The list below names the cookies and comparable storage mechanisms that salon.care uses. The names are technical; the storage periods are the actual values, not approximate examples.

Strictly necessary

  • sc_session: holds your session on the platform together. Stored until the browser closes, at most twenty-four hours.
  • sc_locale: remembers your language choice, so you do not have to make it again on every visit. Stored for twelve months.
  • sc_csrf: protects forms, such as the demo request, against abuse. Stored for the duration of the session.
  • sc_consent: stores your decision on the non-essential categories, so we do not ask again. Stored for six months.

Reach measurement, only with consent

  • sc_stat: counts page views without persistent recognition across days. Stored for the duration of the session.

If names or periods change, we update this page and note the date of the last change at the foot of the page.

Origin

Our own domain rather than other people's eyes

  • All the cookies named are set by salon.care itself, not by third parties.
  • Fonts, images and scripts are held on our own servers; we load no fonts from external providers, so your request does not flow to third parties.
  • There are no social media plugins sending data to networks in the background; references to other platforms are plain links.
  • Embedded content, such as a video or a map, is loaded only after your express agreement, so no connection to third parties arises without your involvement.
  • Servers and delivery sit within the scope of European data protection law.

Control

How you stay in control

You decide about the non-essential categories, and you can change your decision at any time. You can reopen the consent dialogue at any point through the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. Consent given takes effect only for the future; withdrawing it does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out until then.

Independently of that, you can manage cookies in your browser. There you can view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, and restrict future storage. Please note: if you block the strictly necessary cookies, central functions such as signing in to the platform will no longer work.

Managing cookies in your browser

  1. Open your browser settings and go to the privacy or security section.
  2. Choose the management of cookies and site data.
  3. Delete existing entries there or decide which cookies will be allowed in future.

We honour central, cross-provider control through the consent management of your browser or operating system, insofar as your device sends a corresponding signal.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Does Saloncare set cookies for advertising or retargeting?

No. We set no advertising or retargeting cookies and pass no data to advertising networks. We list that category only to show that it is empty.

Do the strictly necessary cookies need my consent?

No. Strictly necessary cookies may be set without consent under the German Telecommunications Digital Services Act, because without them the site and signing in to the platform do not work. All other categories are active only with your agreement.

How long are cookies stored?

The session and protection cookies end when the browser closes at the latest. The language choice is kept for twelve months, your consent decision for six. The exact periods are in the list of individual entries.

Is data transferred to countries outside Europe?

The cookies set for this site are processed by salon.care itself and delivered within the scope of European data protection law. We embed no external fonts, advertising networks or social plugins that would send data to third parties.

How do I withdraw consent I have given?

Through the “Cookie settings” link in the footer you reopen the dialogue and can deselect categories. The withdrawal takes effect immediately and for the future; processing carried out until then is unaffected.

What happens if I delete all cookies in my browser?

You will be asked for your consent again on your next visit, and settings such as your language choice are reset. While you are signed in, deleting the session cookies may mean you have to sign in again.

Does Saloncare use storage techniques other than cookies?

We use local storage in the browser only where it serves the same strictly necessary purpose as a cookie, for instance to hold your language setting. The principles of this policy apply there too: no tracking, no sharing with third parties.

Is this policy updated?

Yes. If the cookies used, their purposes or storage periods change, we adjust this page and note the date of the last change at the foot of the page. For material changes to categories requiring consent, we ask you again.
