Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Evolution Padel uses cookies and similar storage or access technologies on www.evolutionpadel.uk. It should be read alongside the Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is visited. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, scripts, tags, pixels and other tools that store information on, or access information from, a browser or device.

Some technologies are necessary for a website to function or remember a choice. Others help measure website use or load content supplied by another company.

2. The rules that apply

The use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, commonly known as PECR. UK data protection law may also apply where the information identifies or can be linked to a person.

Where consent is required, optional technologies should not be used until you have made an affirmative choice. Strictly necessary technologies may be used without consent where they are genuinely required to provide a service you requested or to operate essential website functions.

3. How this website uses these technologies

Evolution Padel aims to keep tracking limited and proportionate. The website may use the following categories:

Strictly necessary technologies

These support essential website operation, security, form delivery and the recording of privacy choices. They may also remember a choice needed to provide a feature you requested.

Analytics technologies

Where enabled and permitted by your choices, analytics help Evolution Padel understand page views, campaign sources and general website interactions. Google Analytics 4 may use first-party cookies. Vercel Web Analytics may provide aggregated or limited traffic information without relying on traditional analytics cookies.

Functional and third-party content

Optional services such as Google Maps may store or access information after you choose to load them. Links to Playtomic, Apple App Store, Google Play and social-media services take you to independent third-party platforms governed by their own policies.

4. Technologies currently used or expected

The exact names and durations of third-party cookies can change when those providers update their services. Browser developer tools can be used to inspect the technologies present during a visit.

5. Cookie choices and consent

Where the website displays a consent banner or settings panel, you can use it to accept, reject or adjust optional categories. Rejecting optional technologies should not prevent access to the main website content, although an optional feature such as an embedded map may remain unavailable until activated.

You can change or withdraw a previous choice by reopening the site's cookie settings where available, or by clearing the website's cookies and storage in your browser.

6. Google Analytics

Google Analytics 4 may receive information such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, device and browser information, referring source and interaction events. Evolution Padel uses this information to understand website performance and improve content and marketing.

Analytics should operate in line with the consent choice presented on the website. Google may process information outside the United Kingdom under its own privacy terms and transfer safeguards.

7. Google Maps and embedded content

The site may initially show a placeholder rather than loading Google Maps automatically. When you choose to load a map, your browser connects to Google and may share technical information such as your IP address, browser information and the page being viewed.

Google may then use cookies or similar technologies for security, functionality, measurement or its own service purposes. Evolution Padel does not control those third-party technologies.

8. Forms and attribution storage

The website may use short-lived session storage to remember information contained in the page or link that brought you to the site. This can include the landing page, referring site and UTM campaign parameters.

Where you submit a contact or launch-update form, that context may be sent with the form so Evolution Padel can understand how the enquiry arose. More information about form data is available in the Privacy Policy.

9. How to control cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and site storage. You can normally:

• Delete cookies and local or session storage already saved.
• Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
• Ask the browser to clear site data when it closes.
• Use private-browsing or tracking-protection features.
• Disable or limit JavaScript, although this may affect website functionality.

Browser controls vary. Consult the help section for your browser or device for current instructions.

10. Consequences of disabling technologies

Blocking optional analytics should not stop you reading the website. Blocking all cookies, storage or scripts may affect privacy settings, forms, maps, navigation or other features.

11. Third-party websites

When you follow a link to Playtomic, Google, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or another provider, that provider may use cookies and similar technologies independently. Review its privacy and cookie information before creating an account or providing personal information.

12. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the website adds, removes or changes analytics, booking tools, embedded content or other services. The latest version will appear on this page with a revised date.
