What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

When you visit snorter-barber.com, we use various tracking technologies to improve your experience. Think of cookies as small digital notes that help our website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our content.

These technologies include traditional cookies, local storage, session identifiers, and analytics beacons. Each serves a specific purpose in making your educational journey smoother and more personalized.

We believe in being transparent about what information we collect and why. This policy explains exactly how these technologies work on our platform and what control you have over them.

Types of Data Collection We Use

Our website employs different categories of tracking based on their purpose and importance to your experience:

How This Enhances Your Experience

Our tracking technologies serve specific educational purposes. When you bookmark a haircutting technique video, we remember where you left off. If you're researching advanced scissor work, we can suggest related content that builds on those skills.

We also use this data to understand learning patterns. For example, if many students replay a particular section about layering techniques, we know to create additional supporting materials or modify our instruction approach.

Your interaction data helps us identify which educational pathways are most effective. This means we can recommend the best sequence of lessons based on what has worked for other students with similar goals.
