Good to know
Cookies
Which cookies this website uses, their purposes and how to change your choice. Cookie choices do not give permission for other uses of salon information.
1. Provider and scope
Sovado is a brand and product of GRW Digital, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 42042001. Postal address: De Haar 55, 7823 CT Emmen, the Netherlands. This is a postal address only, not a visiting address. Email: info@sovado.nl. Company website: grwdigital.nl.
This notice describes the commercial website sovado.nl and www.sovado.nl and the cookie preference setting shared with app.sovado.nl. Salon websites and salon booking services may have their own controllers and cookie information. A shared preference does not mean that every service uses the same cookies.
2. Cookies and consent
Cookies and similar technologies store or access information on your device. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent if needed for communication or a function you request. Tracking and other non-exempt cookies require prior, specific consent.
You can refuse without blocking normal access to the website. Only necessary cookies are enabled by default. Browsing, scrolling, silence or accepting general terms is not cookie consent. The GDPR also applies to cookies involving personal data.
3. Cookie inventory for this website
The first-party code of this commercial website uses necessary cookies for your cookie preferences and to protect demo and pilot applications. This website code contains no active analytics services or marketing pixels. The categories in the preferences panel do not themselves add an external service or provide valid blanket consent for future services that have not yet been explained.
- Preference cookie: sovado_shared_consent. Provider: GRW Digital / Sovado. Domain: sovado.nl, shared with www.sovado.nl and app.sovado.nl. Type: first-party, necessary preference cookie. Form cookies: sovado_demo for the demo form and sovado_pilot for the pilot application. These necessary session cookies are set when the corresponding form is opened.
- Purpose and contents: the preference cookie remembers your choices for necessary, analytics and marketing categories, with the time and policy version. Form cookies contain a session identifier. The corresponding server session stores a security token, submission attempt timestamps and a temporary sent confirmation to protect the form and limit repeated submissions. The details entered in the form are not stored in that session. These cookies contain no salon client or patient records and do not subscribe you to a newsletter.
- Preference cookie retention: 180 days after a choice is saved. You can change your choice earlier or delete the cookie through your browser. A new choice starts a new period. The validity of form cookies and the retention of the corresponding session data follow the server session settings; these settings must be checked before publication.
- Analytics and marketing cookies: currently no active tools in this commercial website’s own code. Before adding a service, its purposes, providers, information and retention periods are explained and fresh consent is requested where required, before activation.
4. Other storage and external connections
This website does not use localStorage or sessionStorage for cookie preferences. The NL/EN language choice appears in the URL. Help centre search uses no cookie of its own; a submitted query appears in the URL and may be stored in browser history and server logs. Avoid personal data in search queries.
The homepage loads the Font Awesome icons from this website. Your browser does not connect to an external icon service for this. Loading these icons is separate from the optional categories.
5. Account environment and salon websites
This website sets the shared preference cookie for Sovado’s own main domain and account subdomain. The account environment may also use necessary session or security cookies. Exact names, providers and lifetimes of those additional cookies have not yet been verified here, so this notice does not present the list above as a complete platform inventory.
A Sovado cookie choice does not automatically apply to independent salon websites, other operators, newly added purposes or other services. Cookie consent also does not grant a right to publish salon profiles, create customer references, send advertising emails or use salon client and patient data for our own marketing.
6. Changing, refusing and withdrawing choices
Use Cookie settings at the bottom of each page to reopen the preferences panel. You can refuse optional categories, select them individually or accept them. Necessary cookies remain active. Withdrawal stops future use of the relevant optional technologies; it does not retrospectively make earlier lawful use unlawful.
You can view, block and delete cookies in your browser. Deleting the preference cookie or its expiry may prompt a new request for your choice. Some necessary account functions may not work if you block all cookies. The legal pages on this website remain readable without making a prior cookie choice.
7. Questions and changes
For questions about cookies or your choice, email info@sovado.nl. The date at the top identifies this notice’s version. When relevant changes occur, we update the information and choices before activating new technologies requiring consent.
