Cookie Policy

What cookies All Powers Gym sets, what each one does, and how you turn analytics cookies on or off.

This policy explains the cookies we use on the All Powers Gym website, what each one is for, and how you control them. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle your personal data more generally.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device — your phone, tablet or computer — when you visit. They let the site remember things, like whether you've already made a choice about cookies. Some are essential to make the site work. Others are optional and only run if you say yes.

Do you have to accept our cookies?

No. Only the essential cookie that remembers your choice runs automatically, because the site can't work properly without it. Our analytics cookies stay switched off until you agree to them in the cookie banner, and you can change your mind whenever you like.

The cookies we set

We keep this short. There are two kinds of cookie on our site: essential ones that make it work, and analytics ones that only run if you agree.

Essential cookies

These are strictly necessary and don't need your consent — without them the site can't do the basics, like remembering what you chose about cookies.

CookieWhat it's forHow long it lasts
Consent choiceRemembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we don't ask you every time.[TO CONFIRM: set by the consent banner tool — CookieYes typically stores this for 12 months.]

Analytics cookies (optional — only run if you agree)

We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager (container GTM-WJ8B74MP), to see how people use the site — which pages get visited, how visitors found us, roughly where in the world they are. It helps us make the site better. These cookies send data to Google, so under UK law they need your consent, and they stay off until you give it.

CookieWhat it's forHow long it lasts
_gaGoogle Analytics — tells returning visits apart so the stats are accurate.[TO CONFIRM: GA4 default is 13 months.]
_ga_<ID>Google Analytics — keeps track of a visit (the session) for the same measurement.[TO CONFIRM: GA4 default is 13 months.]

[TO CONFIRM: check the site's actual cookies in a fresh browser (the network/storage tab) and list every one that fires, with its real name and expiry. Add any others — for example if Google Tag Manager or Google Analytics set additional cookies on this setup.] Google Tag Manager itself doesn't normally set cookies — it's the container that loads Google Analytics.

How to change your mind or turn cookies off

You're in control of the optional analytics cookies, and it's as easy to switch them off as it was to switch them on:

  • Use our cookie settings. [TO CONFIRM: describe exactly where the cookie settings link is once the banner is live — e.g. "click Cookie Settings in the footer of any page" — and name the tool if you want to, e.g. CookieYes.] From there you can accept or reject analytics cookies at any time.
  • Clear cookies in your browser. Every browser lets you delete cookies already stored and block new ones. Look in your browser's privacy or history settings. Bear in mind that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working.

If you reject or later withdraw consent, we stop the analytics cookies from running. It won't affect anything that happened while consent was in place.

Cookies set by others

Google Analytics is run by Google as a third party on our behalf. Google may process this data outside the UK; where it does, it relies on the UK's approved transfer safeguards. How Google uses data is covered by Google's own privacy and cookie information. [TO CONFIRM: whether IP anonymisation / Google Consent Mode is switched on for this setup.]

Changes to this policy

If we add or change the cookies we use, we'll update this page. This version was last updated [TO CONFIRM: date].
