What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you
visit, typically containing information about the website itself, a unique
identifier that allows the site to recognise your web browser when you return,
additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the
cookie itself.
Cookies are used to enable certain features (eg. logging in), to track site
usage (eg. analytics), to store your user settings (eg. timezone, notification
preferences), and to personalise your content (eg. advertising, language).
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as “first-party cookies”, and typically only track your activity on that particular site. Cookies set by other sites and companies (ie. third parties) are called “third-party cookies”, and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.
Types of cookies and how we use them
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are crucial to your experience of a website, enabling core
features like user logins, account management, shopping carts and payment
processing. We use essential cookies to enable certain functions on our
website.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies are used in the tracking of how you use a website during
your visit, without collecting personal information about you. Typically, this
information is anonymous and aggregated with information tracked across all
site users, to help companies understand visitor usage patterns identify and
diagnose problems or errors their users may encounter, and make better
strategic decisions in improving their audience’s overall website experience.
These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by
third-party services. We use performance cookies on our site.
Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies are used in collecting information about your device and
any settings you may configure on the website you’re visiting (like language
and timezone settings). With this information, websites can provide you with
customised, enhanced or optimised content and services. These cookies may be
set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party service. We
use functionality cookies for selected features on our site.
Targeting/advertising cookies
Targeting/advertising cookies are used in determining what promotional content
is more relevant and appropriate to you and your interests. Websites may use
them to deliver targeted advertising or to limit the number of times you see an
advertisement. This helps companies improve the effectiveness of their
campaigns and the quality of content presented to you. These cookies may be set
by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services.
Targeting/advertising cookies set by third-parties may be used to track you on
other websites that use the same third-party service. We use
targeting/advertising cookies on our site.
Third-party cookies on our site
We may employ third-party companies and individuals on our websites, for
example, analytics providers and content partners. We grant these third parties
access to selected information to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They
may also set third-party cookies in order to deliver the services they are
providing. Third-party cookies can be used to track you on other websites that
use the same third-party service. As we have no control over third-party
cookies, they are not covered by Japsport’s cookie policy.
Our third-party privacy promise
We review the privacy policies of all our third-party providers before
enlisting their services to ensure their practices align with ours. We will
never knowingly include third-party services that compromise or violate the
privacy of our users.
How you can control or opt out of cookies
If you do not wish to accept cookies from us, you can instruct your browser to
refuse cookies from our website. Most browsers are configured to accept cookies
by default, but you can update these settings to either refuse cookies
altogether, or to notify you when a website is trying to set or update a
cookie.
If you browse websites from multiple devices, you may need to update your
settings on each individual device.
Although some cookies can be blocked with little impact on your experience of a
website, blocking all cookies may mean you are unable to access certain
features and content across the sites you visit.
