Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience and supply information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow websites to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred language, font size and other display preferences.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and are used the next time you visit the website. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device once you close your browser. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are integrated into the website ("third-party cookies").

2. How We Use Cookies

The HMB Barbers website at disgrupp.com uses cookies for a variety of purposes to improve your experience on our site. We use cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website, to maintain the security of our site and to remember your preferences. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information unless you have voluntarily submitted such information through our contact form or other communication channels.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, session management and CSRF (cross-site request forgery) protection when you submit forms. Without these cookies, certain features of our website cannot function properly. Essential cookies do not require your consent as they are necessary for us to provide the services you have requested.

• Session cookie (PHPSESSID): This cookie is used to maintain your session on our website. It is a session cookie and is deleted when you close your browser. It is essential for the security of our contact form, as it stores the CSRF token used to validate form submissions.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics cookies to collect anonymised, aggregated information about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors navigate between pages and whether users encounter any errors. The data collected by analytics cookies is used solely to improve the performance and content of our website.

• Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*, _gid): These cookies are set by Google Analytics to help us measure and analyse visitor traffic. They collect information such as the number of visitors, the pages visited, the source of traffic and the time spent on each page. This data is processed in an aggregated and anonymised form. Google Analytics cookies are persistent and may remain on your device for up to two years. You can learn more about Google Analytics cookies at Google's cookie policy.

3.3 Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your preferred language, region or display settings. These cookies enhance your browsing experience by providing personalised features. If you disable preference cookies, some aspects of the website may not function as intended or may not remember your previous selections.

• Cookie consent preference: This cookie records whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies on our website. It is a persistent cookie that remains on your device for up to 12 months so that your preference is remembered on subsequent visits.

We encourage you to review the cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website.

We may embed content from external platforms or services, such as Google Maps for displaying our store locations. These embedded services may set their own cookies on your device. We have no control over these cookies and recommend that you review the relevant third-party cookie policies for further details.
