This Cookie Policy explains how Elite Coldrooms uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit elitecoldrooms.co.uk.
It explains what cookies are, why they may be used and how you can control your cookie preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.
Cookies allow websites to recognise a device and store certain information about a visitor's preferences or previous actions.
Some cookies are necessary for a website to work correctly. Others can help website owners understand how visitors use their website, improve performance or provide additional functionality.
How Elite Coldrooms Uses Cookies
Elite Coldrooms may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve elitecoldrooms.co.uk.
Cookies may be used to:
ensure the website functions correctly;
maintain website security;
remember cookie preferences;
understand how visitors use the website;
identify technical problems;
measure website performance;
improve website content and usability; and
support additional website features where applicable.
We only use non-essential cookies where permitted under applicable UK law.
Types of Cookies
Cookies used on our website may fall into the following categories.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support functions required for the website to operate.
They may be used for purposes such as website security, network management, remembering privacy preferences and enabling essential functionality.
Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website or a service you have requested, they do not generally require consent.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with their website.
Information collected through analytics may include:
pages visited;
time spent on pages;
how visitors reached the website;
general interactions with website content;
device and browser information; and
technical information about website performance.
This information can help us understand which parts of the website are useful and identify areas that could be improved.
Where analytics cookies require consent, they will only be used after you have provided that consent.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies can allow a website to remember choices or provide enhanced features.
These cookies may remember preferences or support functionality provided by Elite Coldrooms or a third-party service.
Where consent is required, functionality cookies will only be used after consent has been provided.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies can be used to understand the effectiveness of advertising or to provide advertising that is more relevant to website visitors.
These cookies may track activity across websites and may be provided by third-party advertising or marketing services.
Where marketing cookies are used, they will only be placed where permitted by law and after obtaining consent where consent is required.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies may be either first-party or third-party cookies.
First-party cookies are set directly by elitecoldrooms.co.uk.
Third-party cookies are set by external services that provide functionality or services used by a website.
Third-party cookies may be associated with services such as website analytics, embedded content, mapping services, videos, security tools or advertising platforms.
Third-party providers are responsible for the cookies and personal information they process through their services in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Session and Persistent Cookies
Cookies may also be classified according to how long they remain on your device.
Session Cookies
Session cookies generally remain active only while your browser is open and are deleted after you close it.
They are commonly used to support essential website functions during a browsing session.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
They can be used to remember preferences or recognise a returning device.
The lifespan of a persistent cookie depends on its purpose and configuration.
Cookie Consent
Where UK law requires consent for a cookie or similar technology, we will seek consent before using it.
Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent where they are required to provide the website or a service requested by the visitor.
Non-essential cookies that require consent should remain disabled until the visitor makes an appropriate choice.
You can choose whether to accept or reject available categories of non-essential cookies through the cookie controls provided on our website.
Choosing not to accept non-essential cookies should not prevent you from accessing the basic functions of elitecoldrooms.co.uk, although some optional functionality may be unavailable.
Changing Your Cookie Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences through the cookie controls available on elitecoldrooms.co.uk where these controls are provided.
You can also control cookies through your web browser.
Most browsers allow you to:
view stored cookies;
delete individual cookies;
delete all cookies;
block cookies from particular websites;
block third-party cookies; or
prevent cookies from being stored.
The method for managing cookies varies between browsers and devices.
Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of some websites because certain functions depend on cookies.
Withdrawing Consent
Where we rely on your consent to use cookies, you can withdraw that consent.
Withdrawing consent does not make any processing that took place before withdrawal unlawful.
Once consent has been withdrawn, cookies that rely on that consent should no longer be used. Cookies already stored on your device may remain until they expire or are removed through your browser settings.
Similar Technologies
Our website may use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies.
These can include local storage, tracking pixels, tags and scripts.
Where these technologies store information on your device, access information on your device or process personal data, applicable UK privacy and data protection requirements will apply.
References to cookies within this policy should therefore be understood to include similar technologies where appropriate.
Personal Data and Cookies
Some information collected through cookies may constitute personal data.
Where cookie information involves personal data, Elite Coldrooms handles that information in accordance with applicable UK data protection law and our Privacy Policy.
Our Privacy Policy provides further information about how we collect, use, store and protect personal information and explains your data protection rights.
Your Data Protection Rights
Where information collected through cookies constitutes personal data, you may have rights under UK data protection law.
Depending on the circumstances, these can include rights to:
access personal data;
correct inaccurate personal data;
request deletion of personal data;
restrict certain processing;
object to certain processing;
withdraw consent; and
complain about the handling of your personal data.
Further information about these rights is provided in our Privacy Policy and GDPR Policy.
Third-Party Services
Some features of our website may be provided by third parties.
Where a third-party service uses cookies, that provider may process information according to its own privacy and cookie policies.
Elite Coldrooms does not control how independent third parties operate their own websites or services.
You should review the relevant provider's privacy information if you want to understand how it processes information independently of Elite Coldrooms.
Do Not Track Settings
Some browsers provide a "Do Not Track" setting.
There is no single universally adopted standard governing how websites must respond to these signals.
Your cookie preferences should therefore be managed using the cookie controls available on the website and your browser settings.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, cookies, technology, service providers or legal obligations change.
The latest version will be published on elitecoldrooms.co.uk.
We recommend reviewing this policy periodically if you want to stay informed about how cookies are used.
