GDPR & Cookie Policy

SalonVancouver.com

Effective Date: October 23, 2026

1. Introduction

SalonVancouver.com respects visitor privacy and aims to provide transparent information about the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies.

This policy explains what cookies are, why they may be used, how visitors can manage their preferences, and which privacy rights may apply.

Our website operates from British Columbia, Canada, and may be accessible to visitors in other countries.

The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK GDPR, and related cookie requirements apply only where their respective legal conditions are met.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on a visitor's device when accessing a website.

They can help websites remember preferences, maintain essential functionality, support security, and understand website usage.

Some cookies expire when a browsing session ends, while others remain for a defined period.

Other technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, may perform similar functions.

3. Categories of Cookies

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies support essential website functions, such as:

Security
Fraud prevention
Session management
Saving privacy choices
Essential website functionality

Where legally permitted, strictly necessary cookies may operate without prior consent.

B. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies may help us understand:

Website traffic
Frequently visited pages
General visitor interactions
Technical performance
Navigation patterns

Where required by law, non-essential analytics cookies will be used only after appropriate consent.

C. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember optional visitor preferences or support enhanced website features.

Depending on their purpose and applicable law, some may require consent.

D. Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising technologies may be used to measure promotional campaigns or support relevant advertising.

Where legally required, these technologies will remain inactive until the visitor provides consent.

We do not assume that visitors consent merely by continuing to browse.

4. Cookie Consent Choices

Where cookie consent is required, visitors should be offered clear choices.

These may include:

Accept All: Permit essential cookies and the optional categories selected for consent.

Reject Optional: Continue using strictly necessary cookies while declining optional categories.

Customize: Choose which optional categories to permit.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to ordinary public directory content.

5. Withdrawing or Changing Consent

Visitors should be able to change their optional cookie choices through an accessible Cookie Settings feature.

Where processing depends on consent, withdrawing consent will stop future use of the affected optional technologies, subject to technical and legal limitations.

Withdrawal does not necessarily reverse processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services may place cookies or use similar technologies when integrated into a website.

Examples may include:

Analytics platforms
Embedded maps
Video players
Social media features
Advertising platforms
Booking-related integrations

The actual providers used by SalonVancouver.com should be identified in the website's cookie inventory or consent management interface.

Third parties may process information under their own privacy policies.

7. Cookie Duration

Cookie retention periods depend on the technology and purpose.

Session cookies typically expire when the relevant browsing session ends.

Persistent cookies may remain for a specified period unless deleted earlier.

Actual cookie names, providers, purposes, and expiration periods should be disclosed through an up-to-date cookie inventory.

8. Personal Information and Cookies

Some cookies and similar technologies may collect or generate information that qualifies as personal data, including online identifiers.

Where applicable, such processing is subject to our Privacy Policy and relevant data protection requirements.

We aim to avoid unnecessary collection and use of personal information.

9. GDPR Lawful Bases

Where GDPR applies, personal data processing must have an appropriate lawful basis.

Depending on the activity, this may include:

Consent
Contractual necessity
Compliance with legal obligations
Legitimate interests where permitted

Non-essential cookies that require prior consent under applicable cookie laws should not be activated solely on the basis of legitimate interests.

10. GDPR and UK GDPR Rights

Where applicable, individuals may have rights to:

Access personal data
Correct inaccurate data
Request erasure
Restrict processing
Object to processing
Data portability
Withdraw consent
Complain to a competent supervisory authority

Rights are subject to legal conditions and exceptions.

11. International Data Transfers

Our website and its service providers may process information in Canada or other countries.

Where GDPR or UK GDPR transfer requirements apply, appropriate safeguards should be used.

Visitors may contact us for additional information about applicable transfer arrangements.

12. Children's Privacy

Our directory is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.

We do not intentionally use optional advertising technologies to target children based on sensitive personal characteristics.

Where children's consent or parental authorization is legally required, appropriate procedures must be followed.

13. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Visitors can also manage cookies through browser settings.

Most browsers allow users to block, delete, or restrict cookies.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality.

Browser controls do not replace the website's own consent obligations where those obligations apply.

14. Updates to This Policy

We may revise this policy when website technologies, service providers, or legal requirements change.

The revised policy will be published with an updated effective date.
