What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the website owner.

Cookies may be set by HabitFit Sports (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that we use (third-party cookies). In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and web beacons to collect and store information.

This Cookie Policy applies to the HabitFit Sports website and any related digital services. We encourage you to read this policy alongside our Privacy Policy, where applicable.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for various purposes, including:

• Ensuring the basic functionality and security of the website.
• Remembering your preferences and settings.
• Understanding how visitors use our website to improve performance.
• Analyzing website traffic and user interactions.
• Delivering relevant advertisements and measuring marketing effectiveness, where applicable.
• Enabling certain features such as contact forms or shopping cart functionality, where applicable.

The specific cookies used on our website may vary depending on the pages you visit and the services you interact with. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information without your consent.

Types of Cookies We Use

Cookies can be classified into different categories based on their purpose and function. The following sections describe the types of cookies that may be used on the HabitFit Sports website. Please note that the actual cookies used may vary depending on the specific website functionality and third-party services integrated at any given time.

We do not provide a specific list of individual cookie names or exact durations because these details may change over time and may depend on the specific technologies used. However, we aim to provide a clear explanation of each category so you can understand how cookies may affect your browsing experience.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies, also called strictly necessary cookies, are required for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, access to secure areas, and maintaining your browsing session.

Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not work correctly. For example, essential cookies may be used to remember items in a shopping cart or to keep you logged in during a session, if those features are available.

You cannot opt out of essential cookies through our website because they are necessary for basic functionality. You can, however, set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but this may prevent the website from working as intended.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be used to remember your language preferences, region, or other settings that improve your browsing experience.

For example, a functional cookie might remember your login information or the items you have recently viewed, making it easier to return to the site later. These cookies are not strictly necessary, but they enhance usability.

If you disable functional cookies, some website features may not work as expected, but the website will generally remain accessible.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on the site, links clicked, and other usage data. This information is typically aggregated and anonymized where possible.

These cookies enable us to measure website performance, identify areas for improvement, and optimize the user experience. For example, we may learn which pages are most popular or which content is most engaging.

Analytics cookies may be set by HabitFit Sports or by third-party analytics services. These services operate under their own privacy policies and may use the information collected to provide reports and analysis.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising and marketing cookies may be used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

These cookies may be placed by HabitFit Sports or by third-party advertising partners. They may track your browsing activity across different websites and build a profile of your interests.

We do not sell your personal information. Any advertising or marketing cookies used on our website will comply with applicable privacy requirements and our Privacy Policy. If you prefer not to receive targeted advertising, you can adjust your browser settings or visit industry opt-out pages.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party services that place cookies on your device. These third-party services may include analytics providers, advertising networks, social media platforms, embedded content providers, payment processors, or other service providers.

Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective third parties. We do not control these cookies and cannot access the information they collect. However, we only work with trusted service providers and strive to ensure that their practices align with our privacy standards.

For more information about how third parties use cookies, please refer to their respective privacy and cookie policies.

Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and web beacons. These technologies function similarly to cookies and may be used for the same purposes described in this Cookie Policy.

Local storage and session storage allow data to be stored in your browser without transmitting it to the server. Pixels and web beacons are small graphic images that can track user interactions, such as whether an email was opened or a page was viewed.

These technologies are used to improve website functionality, analyze performance, and deliver relevant content. You can control some of these technologies through your browser settings, but blocking them may affect website functionality.

How to Manage Cookies

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. You can also delete cookies that have already been set.

In addition to browser settings, you may be able to manage cookies through other mechanisms such as:

• Browser privacy and security settings.
• Private or incognito browsing modes that limit cookie storage.
• Browser extensions or add-ons that block or manage cookies.
• Opt-out tools provided by certain third-party advertising and analytics providers.

Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly, and your browsing experience may be affected.

Browser Cookie Controls

Most web browsers provide settings that allow you to control cookies. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu of your browser. The following are general instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Site permissions → Cookies and site data.

Please refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions, as menu names and options may vary between versions.

Consequences of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or delete cookies, you may experience the following:

• Loss of saved preferences and settings.
• Inability to remain logged in or access certain secure areas.
• Reduced website functionality or performance.
• Inability to complete certain actions, such as adding items to a cart or submitting forms (if such features exist).
• Less personalized browsing experience.

Disabling essential cookies may prevent the website from functioning at all. We recommend that you keep essential cookies enabled to ensure the best experience.
