Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

How We Use Cookies

Ice Club uses cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems.

• Session Management: To maintain your browsing session
• Security: To protect against cross-site request forgery and other security threats
• Form Data: To remember information you've entered in contact and enquiry forms
• Cookie Consent: To remember your cookie consent preferences and choices

Cookie Consent Management

We use our own cookie consent popup to manage cookie consent on our website — we do not use any third-party consent management service. When you make a choice using the popup, we store it as follows:

• iceclub_cookie_consent: Stores your consent choices (whether analytics cookies are allowed), saved as both a cookie and in your browser’s local storage, for up to 180 days

This cookie is necessary to comply with data protection regulations and cannot be disabled. It does not track or store any personal information beyond your consent choices.

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website.

• Usage Statistics: To analyse website traffic and user behaviour
• Performance Monitoring: To identify and fix technical issues
• Website Improvement: To understand which content is most useful

Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. Google Analytics is only loaded once you have given your consent via our cookie consent popup — it does not run beforehand.

Types of Cookies We Use
