Cookie
Policy
When you visit GAMEHEAD CAPS, small files and similar technologies may be used to keep the website working properly and make shopping more convenient. This policy explains what they do, how long they may remain on your device, and how you can manage your choices.
01 About This Policy
GAMEHEAD CAPS is the trading name associated with GAMESCHEAP LTD. We operate an online shop offering everyday hats and headwear to customers in the United Kingdom.
This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you browse our website, view products, manage your basket or place an order.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. We aim to use these technologies in a clear and proportionate way, with choices that reflect the purpose of each category.
02 What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device when you visit. They help a website remember information, maintain a session or recognise certain settings when you return.
Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels and scripts that allow website features to operate or help measure how a site is used. The exact technologies depend on the tools installed on the website.
A session cookie usually expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie can remain on your device for a set period or until you delete it.
03 Why We Use Cookies
Cookies can help us provide a reliable shopping experience. Depending on the features enabled on the website, they may be used to:
- Keep essential website functions available while you browse.
- Remember items placed in your shopping basket during a visit.
- Support checkout steps and maintain the continuity of an order.
- Remember choices you have made, where that feature is available.
- Help protect forms, sessions and website functions against misuse.
- Understand general website performance if analytics tools are enabled and permitted.
- Support relevant promotional measurement if advertising technologies are used with the required permission.
We do not assume that every category is active at all times. The cookies actually used depend on the current website configuration and the services connected to it.
04 Cookie Categories
Cookies are grouped below by their purpose. The names are general categories, not a claim that every listed type is currently installed on our website.
| Category | What it does | Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Supports core functions such as page navigation, basket continuity, checkout and website security. | Generally remains active where necessary to provide a service you request or operate the website. |
| Functional | Remembers optional preferences and settings to make later visits more convenient. | Can be switched off where consent is required. |
| Analytics and performance | Helps measure visits, identify technical problems and understand how pages are used. | Used only in accordance with the applicable consent requirements. |
| Advertising and measurement | May measure promotional activity or help provide relevant advertising through external services. | Requires the appropriate permission where required by law. |
Strictly necessary cookies are not used as a reason to activate optional analytics or advertising technologies. Where consent is required, optional cookies should remain inactive until you have made the relevant choice.
05 How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and how it has been configured.
- Session cookies: usually expire when you close the browser session.
- Preference cookies: may remain for a period chosen by the website so your settings can be remembered.
- Analytics cookies: if used, may remain for a period set by the relevant analytics service and the website configuration.
- Consent records: a record of your cookie choice may be retained so that the website can remember your decision and ask you again when appropriate.
We do not assign a single expiry period to all cookies because different technologies serve different purposes. Where applicable, the duration should be proportionate to that purpose. You can also remove stored cookies through your browser settings.
06 Your Cookie Choices
Where our website provides a cookie preference tool, you can use it to review optional categories and change your choice. If consent is required, non-essential cookies should not be activated before you give permission.
You can withdraw or change consent for optional cookies at any time through the available preference controls. A change normally applies to future use of those technologies; it does not automatically remove cookies already stored on your device.
If you cannot find the preference tool, you can contact us using the details at the end of this page. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect features such as basket storage, checkout continuity or saved settings. The website may not work as intended if these essential functions are disabled.
07 Third-Party Technologies
Some website functions may rely on services supplied by other providers. Depending on the configuration, these may support payment processing, website performance, embedded content, analytics or promotional measurement.
A third-party service may use its own cookies or similar technologies when its features are active. Such providers operate under their own terms and privacy information, as well as any requirements that apply to our use of them.
We do not list individual providers here because the services connected to a website can change. The relevant provider names, cookie identifiers and durations should be checked against the tools actually installed on the live website.
Where third-party technologies require consent, we aim to ensure that they are not activated before the required permission has been obtained.
08 Personal Data and Privacy
Some cookies and similar technologies may collect or generate information such as browser details, device identifiers, session information, pages viewed or interactions with website features. Whether this information identifies an individual depends on the circumstances and the technology used.
Where information qualifies as personal data, it should be handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements. Access, use, retention and sharing should be limited to the purposes and legal grounds that apply.
Cookie consent and data protection are related but separate matters. Permission to use a particular cookie does not automatically establish permission for every other use of information.
For further information about personal information, data handling and applicable rights, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
09 Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers let you view, block or delete stored cookies. The available options vary by browser and version. You can usually find them in the privacy, security or site settings section.
- Review the cookies stored for the website.
- Delete existing cookies if you no longer want them stored.
- Block some or all cookies through your browser preferences.
- Configure the browser to notify you when a site attempts to store a cookie, where supported.
Removing cookies may sign you out, clear your basket or reset preferences. Browser controls also may not provide the same level of choice as a website’s dedicated consent tool.
10 Policy Changes and Disclaimer
We may update this policy when website features, connected services or applicable requirements change. The current version published on this page explains our stated approach to cookies.
Cookie behaviour can also be affected by browser updates, third-party service changes and technical adjustments. We aim to keep the information accurate, but the exact cookies active on the website should be verified against the live configuration and consent settings.
Descriptions of cookie categories are provided for general information and should not be treated as confirmation that a particular cookie or third-party service is installed. Where a specific service is used, its actual purpose, expiry period and consent requirements should be assessed individually.
Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude or limit rights or obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If any part of this policy conflicts with applicable law, the relevant legal requirements take precedence.
