Section 02
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies," while those set by others are called "third-party cookies."
These files allow a website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. At Stretch Store, cookies help us keep your shopping session intact — for example, remembering the foam roller or massage ball you added to your basket as you continue browsing our recovery equipment range.
First-Party
Cookies placed directly by Stretch Store when you visit stretchstore.uk. These support core site functions and your shopping preferences.
Third-Party
Cookies placed by external service providers — for example, analytics or advertising partners. These are governed by each provider's own cookie and privacy policies.
Section 03
Why We Use Cookies
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website.
When you browse our myofascial release tools, resistance bands, or yoga mats, cookies help us load pages faster, keep your basket contents between visits, and present equipment recommendations that are more relevant to your stretching and recovery routine. Without certain cookies, features like secure checkout and saved preferences would not function.
Technical
Required to operate the site — page loads, security, and session integrity during checkout.
Preference
Remember your settings — such as preferred equipment categories or display options — for a smoother return visit.
Analytics
Help us understand how visitors interact with pages — which guides are read, which products are viewed — so we can improve content.
Section 04
Types of Cookies Used
The types of cookies we use include essential cookies for site functionality and security, performance cookies to understand how visitors interact with the site, and functional cookies to remember your preferences such as login details. We do not use cookies for intrusive tracking or to collect sensitive personal information.

Optional
Performance
Anonymous · Can Be Disabled
These cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors use our site — which stretching guides receive the most views, for example. The data is anonymous and helps us improve page content and navigation.
Optional
Functional
Personal · Can Be Disabled
These cookies remember your choices and preferences — such as your account login details or the equipment categories you browse most often. They make your return visits more efficient but are not required for the site to operate.
Not In Use
We do not use cookies for intrusive cross-site tracking, profiling, or collection of sensitive personal data. We do not sell cookie-derived data to third parties. Our use of cookies is limited to operating the store, improving its content, and remembering your preferences.
Section 05
Controlling Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
Most modern browsers let you manage cookie preferences through their settings panel. You can typically block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies that have already been set. Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from completing purchases on our store.

Section 06
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the website and deliver advertisements on and through the website. These cookies are managed by the respective third-party providers and are subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.
We do not control how third-party providers use their cookies, and we recommend reviewing their individual policies for more detail. When you visit pages on stretchstore.uk that include third-party services — such as analytics dashboards or embedded video content in our stretching guides — those providers may set their own cookies on your device.
Analytics
Providers may collect aggregated data about which recovery guides and product pages receive the most traffic, helping us prioritize content.
Advertising
If we run advertising campaigns, third-party partners may use cookies to measure ad performance and show relevant products to visitors who have shown interest in mobility equipment.
Embedded Content
Video or media embedded in our foam rolling exercises or stretching for beginners guides may set cookies through the hosting platform when played.
For specifics on how each third-party provider handles its own cookies, refer to the provider's official cookie documentation. Stretch Store does not have direct control over cookies set by external services.
Section 07
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
When we make material changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we may also provide a notice on the homepage or through other communication channels before the updated policy takes effect.
