Intro

This Cookie Policy explains how Next Hair uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, account pages, AI hairstyle try-on flows, gallery, and contact forms.

About cookies

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies can remember session information, preferences, or technical details that help the website work correctly.

Necessary session and preference storage supports the service. Google Analytics 4 is available as an optional analytics service and is loaded only after the visitor allows analytics. Advertising storage, Google Signals, and ad personalization remain disabled.

Separately, Next Hair counts first-party page requests and short visible-page presence signals without setting or reading an analytics cookie. The server records the page path, approximate Cloudflare country, device class, referring host, and a rotating pseudonymous code; it does not store the visitor's raw IP address in the analytics tables. This measurement is not controlled by the optional-cookie switch.

Cookies usage

Next Hair may use cookies or similar local storage for the following purposes:

keeping users signed in and maintaining secure account sessions;
remembering theme preferences such as dark mode;
supporting AI try-on flows, gallery state, and return paths after purchase;
protecting contact, login, register, and password reset flows from misuse;
understanding page performance and product usage if analytics are enabled;
supporting payment checkout tools when real payments are enabled.

How to turn off cookies

You can usually block or delete cookies from your browser settings. Some parts of Next Hair, such as login, account gallery, AI try-on, credits, and checkout, may not work correctly if necessary cookies are blocked.
