Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Ferucal Pty Ltd, operator of the Ferucal hair salon website at ferucal.com and physical premises at 7 Bridge Street, Sydney NSW, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. Ferucal Pty Ltd is registered in Australia with ABN 47 892 631 405 under the ownership of Eleanor Whitfield. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you access a website, and they help the site remember information about your visit. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly. By continuing to use our website after being informed about cookies, you consent to the use of cookies as described herein, except where your browser settings or applicable law requires explicit consent for specific categories. We review our cookie practices periodically and update this page to reflect any changes effective in 2026 and beyond.
Types of Cookies We Use
Our website may use several categories of cookies depending on functionality requirements at any given time. Strictly necessary cookies enable core website features such as page navigation, form submission security, and load balancing; these cookies are essential for the site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as language preferences or form field entries during a session, to provide a more personalised experience. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting aggregated information about page views, traffic sources, and general usage patterns. We use this data to improve site structure and content rather than to identify individual users. Performance cookies monitor technical aspects such as page load times and error rates to help us maintain a reliable browsing experience. We do not use cookies for gambling, cryptocurrency, financial product advertising, adult content, or any prohibited categories outlined in our internal content standards.
Third-Party Cookies and External Services
Some cookies on our website may be set by third-party services that support our operations. For example, if we embed a map from Google Maps to show our salon location, Google may place cookies according to its own policies. Similarly, fonts loaded from Google Fonts or analytics tools, if enabled, may use cookies or comparable technologies to deliver their services. We select third-party providers with reasonable privacy and security practices, but we do not control how those providers use data collected through their cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services linked from our website. External messaging links to WhatsApp and Viber direct you to platforms operated independently of Ferucal, and any cookies placed on those platforms are governed by their respective operators. We do not permit third-party advertising networks to place tracking cookies on our site for behavioural advertising purposes. If this practice changes in the future, we will update this policy and implement appropriate consent mechanisms before doing so.
Cookie Duration and Storage
Cookies may be session-based, meaning they are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device for a defined period or until manually removed. Session cookies are typically used for essential functions such as maintaining form state during a single visit. Persistent cookies, if used for analytics or preferences, generally expire within twelve months unless a shorter period is specified by the service provider. We aim to minimise the retention period for any non-essential cookies and regularly audit our site to remove technologies that are no longer required. Information collected through cookies is stored securely and accessed only by authorised personnel or service providers with a legitimate need. Aggregated analytics data that cannot identify individuals may be retained for longer periods to observe trends over time. When cookies contain or are linked to personal information, the handling of that data is subject to our Privacy Policy and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies through your web browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is stored. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of our website, including the ability to submit booking or contact forms reliably. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser; consult your browser's help documentation for specific steps. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to adjust settings on each one separately. Where required by law, we will present a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies before they are placed on your device. You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time by clearing cookies through your browser or contacting us for assistance. We also recommend reviewing your mobile device settings if you access ferucal.com through smartphones or tablets, as mobile browsers may offer separate privacy controls. For questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, email ferucal@hotmail.com or write to Ferucal Pty Ltd, 7 Bridge St, Sydney NSW. We will respond to cookie-related enquiries within a reasonable timeframe during business hours in 2026.
