COOKIE POLICY

Here's a plain-language look at how Gymgrade uses cookies, why they matter for your shopping experience, and how you're in control of them.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, or tablet when you browse our site. They let our website recognise your device between page loads — so we can keep you logged in, remember what's in your cart, and generally make the site work the way you'd expect.

Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others help us understand how the site is used or show you more relevant offers, on our site and elsewhere online.

WHAT INFORMATION DO THEY COLLECT?

Cookies can collect details about the pages you visit, the products you view or buy, and your general path through the site. This information is anonymous — cookies never store your name, address, phone number, or payment details. They may include an anonymous reference number tied to your session or account.

For a general overview of how cookies work, you can visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

WHO SETS OUR COOKIES?

Cookies on the Gymgrade site are set by:

  • Gymgrade, to run the store and let you complete purchases
  • Our platform and infrastructure partners (such as Shopify), who power core site functions
  • Analytics partners, who help us understand how the site is used
  • Advertising and marketing partners, who help us show relevant offers on and off our site

WHAT DO WE USE COOKIES FOR?

  • Essential functions — checkout, cart, login, and basic site navigation.
  • Performance & analytics — understanding which pages and products get attention, so we can improve the shopping experience.
  • Personalisation — remembering preferences like currency, region, and previously viewed products.
  • Marketing & advertising — showing relevant ads for Gymgrade on other sites and social platforms, and measuring how well those campaigns perform.

SESSION vs. PERSISTENT COOKIES

Session cookies only last for the duration of your visit and are deleted once you close your browser. They're what let you add something to your cart and carry it through to checkout — blocking these means you won't be able to place an order.

Persistent cookies stick around for a set period so we can remember you on your next visit — for example, keeping you logged in or remembering items on your wishlist.

TURNING OFF OR DELETING COOKIES

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Blocking third-party cookies alone won't stop you from shopping with us, but blocking all cookies will — since essential cookies are required to complete a purchase. It may also affect how other websites work for you.

  • Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage website data
  • Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
