Embedded content from other websites

Pages on refinesalon.com may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. One good example are the YouTube videos embedded on refinesalon.com.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. This is standard procedure and very common if you use sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and others.
