This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on wintersportscompany.com, what each one does and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we look after any personal information you give us.
Cookies are small text files a website saves on your phone, tablet or computer. Some are needed for the site to work. Others help us understand how people use the site, or measure whether our adverts reach the right people. Similar technologies, such as tracking pixels, work in much the same way, and this policy covers them too.
When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject cookies that aren’t strictly necessary. You can change your mind at any time, and switching a type of cookie off takes one click. When you switch a type off, we also remove the cookies it has already set on our website.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site may not work properly.
1. Strictly necessary. These keep the site working and remember your cookie choices. They can’t be switched off.

These companies control their own cookies. Their privacy and cookie policies explain what they set and why.
