Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy (/privacy-policy/), which describes how we handle personal data more broadly. It explains what cookies are, how ClipperCraft Barber Academy uses them, which categories we use, and how you can manage your preferences.

ClipperCraft Barber Academy is operated by CVP Finco I B.V. Our office is located at Wilhelminakade 300, Kop van Zuid, 3072 AR Rotterdam, Netherlands. If you have questions about cookies or consent, contact us at [email protected].

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. Cookies help websites remember information such as session state, preferences, and—where permitted—usage patterns. Some cookies are set by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies). Others are set by third parties that provide services used on the site (third-party cookies).

In addition to cookies, websites may use similar technologies such as pixel tags (also called web beacons) and server-side event collection. These technologies can measure page views and conversions or help prevent abuse. Where these technologies are used for analytics or marketing, we treat them as part of the same consent framework described in this policy.

2) Cookie lifespans and origins

Cookies can be categorized by how long they remain on your device:

• Session cookies are temporary and typically expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Cookies can also be categorized by who sets them:

• First-party cookies are set by ClipperCraft Barber Academy.
• Third-party cookies are set by service providers (for example, analytics or advertising partners) that may be integrated into the website.

3) Cookie categories we use

We use three categories of cookies. The categories below match our Privacy Policy and our consent controls. Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot function reliably without them. Analytics and marketing cookies are optional and require consent.

A) Essential cookies (always active)

Essential cookies are necessary for core site functionality and security. They support features such as session continuity, preventing misuse, and storing your cookie consent choice. These cookies do not require consent under EU/EEA rules when they are strictly necessary for the service you request.

B) Analytics cookies (optional; consent required)

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site—for example, which pages are visited most often and how content performs. This helps us improve information architecture, course pages, and user experience. If analytics is enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization and a typical data retention period of 14 months.

If you do not consent, analytics cookies will not be set and analytics tags will not be activated from this site.

C) Marketing cookies (optional; consent required)

Marketing cookies are used to measure advertising performance and, where applicable, to show relevant ads to people who have previously visited our website. If enabled, marketing cookies may support conversion attribution and remarketing for platforms such as Google Ads and Meta. They can help us understand whether a user arrived from an ad and later contacted the academy, and they may support audience creation (for example, remarketing or lookalike audiences) based on site interactions.

If you do not consent, marketing cookies will not be set and marketing tags will not be activated from this site.

4) Cookie table

The table below lists cookies that may be used on this site. Some third-party cookies may only appear if you consent to the relevant category and if those services are enabled.

5) Third-party providers

Where enabled and where you consent (for non-essential categories), we may use services provided by:

• Google LLC (Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads measurement/remarketing where enabled)
• Meta Platforms (Pixel/CAPI measurement and remarketing where enabled)
• Cloudflare (content delivery and security protections)

We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Where these providers act as processors or service providers, they process data on our instructions to provide the relevant service.

6) Managing your cookie preferences

You can manage cookie choices at any time using the cookie preference controls on this website:

• Use the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer to reopen the cookie banner and adjust your settings.
• You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. If you delete cookies, you may be asked to set your preferences again.

In addition, some providers offer tools to manage their own cookies and advertising settings. For example:

• Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Google Ads settings: https://adssettings.google.com/
• Meta ad preferences: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/
• Your Online Choices (EU): https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/

If you choose to block cookies, some site features may not work as intended. Essential cookies are required for the site to function reliably and cannot be turned off using our consent panel.

7) Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate the website. The “Last Updated” date at the top indicates when this policy was last revised. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to bring them to your attention, such as a notice on the website.
