general device, browser and location information

track visits following an advertisement

Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be placed by external services used or linked to by the website.
These may include:
-
Wix
-
SumUp
-
Google
-
Instagram
-
Meta
-
WhatsApp
-
embedded maps, videos or social-media content
Sarah Zacal Beauty does not directly control all cookies placed by third-party websites. Their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant provider.
4. Wix cookies
The website is created and hosted using Wix.
Wix may use cookies to:
-
operate and secure the website
-
identify registered website users, where applicable
-
remember website preferences
-
monitor performance and reliability
-
provide analytics and business tools
-
support forms and other website features
Wix states that it uses cookies for website operation, security, user identification and platform performance. (Wix Support)
The exact Wix cookies in use may vary depending on which Wix features and applications are enabled.
5. Booking and payment services
The website may link to or use SumUp for online booking and payment services.
When you open a SumUp booking or payment page, SumUp may place its own essential, functional, analytics or other cookies.
Cookies used on SumUp’s website or booking platform are controlled by SumUp and are subject to SumUp’s own privacy and cookie information. SumUp states that it processes personal information in accordance with its privacy policy and relevant data-protection law. (SumUp Support Centre)
6. Google services
The website may use Google services such as:
-
Google Analytics
-
Google Maps
-
Google Search Console
-
Google Ads conversion tracking
-
embedded Google content
Google Analytics and advertising services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about visits and actions on the website.
Where a Wix cookie banner is enabled, Google Analytics should only collect data after a visitor accepts the relevant cookies. (Wix Support)
Before publishing: remove references to Google Analytics or Google Ads if these services are not connected to the website.
7. Social-media and communication services
The website may include links or embedded features from Instagram, Facebook, Meta or WhatsApp.
Simply following an ordinary external link may take you to the provider’s website or application. That provider may then collect information and use cookies according to its own policies.
Embedded social-media content or tracking tools may place cookies while you remain on the Sarah Zacal Beauty website, but only where those features are installed and permitted by your cookie choices.
8. Consent and the cookie banner
When you first visit the website, you may see a cookie banner allowing you to:
-
accept all cookies
-
reject non-essential cookies
-
select which categories you accept
Essential cookies may be used without consent where they are strictly necessary to provide the website or a service you have requested.
Non-essential cookies, including most analytics and marketing cookies, should not be used before you have actively consented to them.
The Information Commissioner’s Office states that websites must clearly explain the cookies they use and obtain active consent unless a strict necessity exception applies. (ICO)
Wix’s cookie-banner tools can prevent non-essential cookies and scripts from operating until the visitor provides consent. (Wix Support)
9. Changing or withdrawing your consent
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.
You may be able to do this by selecting a Cookie Settings or Manage Cookies link displayed in the website footer or cookie banner.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of cookies used before your preference was changed.
Some website features may not work as intended if you reject or disable certain cookies.
10. Managing cookies through your browser
Most browsers allow you to:
-
view stored cookies
-
delete individual or all cookies
-
block cookies from particular websites
-
block third-party cookies
-
block all cookies
-
receive a warning before a cookie is stored
Browser settings vary. Check the privacy or security section of your browser for the relevant controls.
Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of this and other websites.
11. Cookie duration
Cookies may be either:
Session cookies
These normally expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies
These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
The lifespan of each cookie depends on its purpose and the provider that places it.
Sarah Zacal Beauty will aim to avoid retaining cookie information for longer than reasonably necessary. The ICO advises organisations to consider and justify how long persistent cookies remain active. (ICO)
12. Cookies currently used
The exact cookie names and durations can change when Wix, SumUp or other website services are updated.
The website’s cookie banner or cookie settings panel should display the current list of cookies identified by the website scanner.
