This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on hokatrainers.co.uk, what they do and how you can manage your choices. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website remember items in your basket, maintain a login session or recognise preferences you have selected.

Similar technologies include local storage, tracking pixels and scripts that store or access information on your device. References to cookies in this policy include these technologies where relevant.

Cookie Categories

The categories below explain common uses. Their inclusion does not mean that every category or technology is used on hokatrainers.co.uk.

Strictly necessary cookies

These support functions needed to provide a service you request, such as maintaining your shopping basket, enabling secure account access or supporting checkout. Where a legal exemption applies, prior consent is not required.

Preference cookies

These can remember choices such as language or display settings. Whether consent is required depends on their specific purpose and whether an applicable exemption is satisfied.

Analytics cookies

Where analytics tools are used, they may help identify popular pages, navigation patterns and technical problems. Analytics that require consent must remain inactive until you agree. If a statutory exception is relied upon, its conditions must be met, including providing an objection mechanism where required.

Advertising cookies

Where advertising technologies are used, they may measure campaigns, recognise interests or support personalised advertising across websites. Consent is required where these activities are not covered by a legal exception. ICO

Information Cookies May Collect

Depending on the technology, information may include:

  • Pages visited and interactions with website features.
  • Browser type and device information.
  • IP addresses and cookie identifiers.
  • Shopping basket contents and selected preferences.
  • Consent choices and the time they were recorded.

Some information may constitute personal data, particularly when it can be linked to an identifiable person. Our Privacy Policy explains the relevant processing in more detail.

Your Consent and Choices

Where consent is required, the relevant technologies must not be activated before you make an affirmative choice. Continuing to browse the website does not, by itself, constitute consent.

Any cookie controls provided should allow you to accept, reject or select consent-based categories. Declining those technologies should leave the basic shopping functions available, although optional features may be affected.

If a technology is used under a statutory exception, the applicable information and any required objection option must be provided. A category name alone does not determine whether an exception applies. ICO

Changing Your Settings

Where a cookie settings control is provided, use it to review your choices or withdraw consent. Withdrawal applies to future use and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

You can also delete previously stored cookies through your browser. Deleting cookies does not necessarily communicate a withdrawal of consent to a service provider.

Your choices may be specific to a browser or device. You may need to set them again after clearing website data or switching devices.

Browser Controls

Most browsers let you view stored cookies, delete website data and restrict future storage. Some also offer controls for third-party cookies.

These settings are usually available under “Privacy”, “Security” or “Site settings”. Consult your browser’s help pages for instructions.

Blocking all cookies may prevent features such as basket storage, account login or checkout from working correctly. Private browsing does not necessarily prevent all tracking.

Cookie Duration

Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them.

Each cookie’s lifetime depends on its purpose and configuration. This is separate from how long an organisation retains information already collected through that cookie.

Third-Party Technologies

Where external services are embedded, their providers may receive information or place cookies, subject to the applicable controls and legal requirements.

The actual providers, purposes, cookie durations and relevant privacy information must be identified in the website’s cookie details. Any overseas processing and associated safeguards should also be explained in the relevant privacy information.

Updates and Contact

This policy may be updated when website technologies or legal requirements change. Where a new purpose requires fresh consent, an earlier choice does not automatically authorise it.

For questions about cookies or your privacy choices, use the contact details published on hokatrainers.co.uk.

Before publication, add a verified inventory of the cookies actually used, including their names, providers, purposes and durations. Confirm that the settings controls described above are available and work as stated.
