Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Funktion Leisure Limited, trading as Beer Bikes, uses cookies and similar technologies on beerbikes.co.uk. Please read it alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, help us understand how the site is used, and support our advertising. Similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage do comparable things. In this policy we refer to them all as cookies.
Your choices and consent
Strictly necessary cookies are always on, because the site cannot work properly without them. All other cookies, meaning analytics, advertising and marketing, are only set with your consent.
When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies, or set your preferences by category. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser.
Cookies we use
We group the cookies we use into the categories below. The providers and durations shown are indicative and may change. Where a category is non-essential, those cookies only run once you have given consent.
| Category | What it is for | Examples (provider / cookies) | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Make the site work, keep your session, remember what is in your basket or booking, keep the site secure, and store your cookie choices. | Beer Bikes (session, basket); OmniSend (omnisendSessionID); consent record (your cookie choices) | Session to about 1 year |
| Functional | Remember choices you make, such as your selected location or display settings. | Beer Bikes (groupView, pxRatio) | Session to about 1 year |
| Analytics and performance | Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. | Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*); Microsoft Clarity (_clck, _clsk) | Up to about 2 years |
| Advertising and targeting | Measure our advertising, show relevant ads and avoid showing ads that are not relevant to you. | Google Ads (_gcl_au, _gcl_aw); Google ad cookies (__gads, __gpi, __eoi); Microsoft Advertising / Bing (_uetvid, _uetsid) | Up to about 13 months |
| Marketing and email | Support our email sign-up forms and recognise returning subscribers. | OmniSend (omnisendContactID, omnisend-form-*) | Up to about 1 year |
| Third-party content | Display embedded content such as customer reviews. | Trustpilot (review widget) | Set by the third party |
We do not currently use a Meta (Facebook or Instagram) pixel. If we add one in future it will appear in the advertising category and will only run with your consent.
Managing cookies in your browser
As well as our cookie banner, you can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Help pages are available for all major browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working.
You can also opt out of some advertising cookies through the platforms directly, for example Google Ads Settings, and through industry tools such as Your Online Choices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for legal reasons. We will post any changes on this page and update the date below.
