This Cookie Policy explains how Hastings Fly Fishers Club Limited (HFFC) uses cookies and similar browser technologies on hastingsflyfishers.co.uk and shop.hastingsflyfishers.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small pieces of information that a website can store in your browser. Related technologies, such as browser storage, can also remember preferences or help a website operate. Some are set by the website itself and others by services used on the website.

Strictly necessary technologies may support secure sign-in, session management, booking and equipment-hire processes, basket contents, checkout, fraud prevention and the recording of cookie preferences. Without them, parts of the requested service may not work correctly. Essential technologies do not require consent where the applicable legal exemption is met.

HFFC uses server-based statistics to understand website visits and performance. These statistics are not controlled by browser cookie preferences. This description does not establish whether any separate analytics cookies or browser-based tracking technologies are active; any such technologies must be assessed against applicable PECR consent or exemption requirements.

Hastings Fly Fishers’ Club does not collect data for marketing purposes. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies, and we do not use visitor information for targeted advertising or remarketing. If these practices change, this policy and any necessary consent controls must be updated before the change.

The HFFC online shop may require essential session or basket technologies to remember selected products, enforce basket time limits and complete checkout. The specific cookie and storage names, lifetimes and providers must be checked against the deployed WordPress, WooCommerce and HFFC shop configuration.

Some functionality is provided by external services. A visit to a third-party website, including eBay or a payment provider, is governed by that website’s own cookie and privacy information. A link from HFFC does not by itself mean that the third party sets cookies on the HFFC website.

The HFFC cookie information notice includes an “Understood” button to acknowledge the information displayed; this is not a choice to accept optional tracking. Server-based statistics are not controlled by browser cookie preferences. You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings, although disabling essential cookies may prevent logins, reservations or checkout from working. If HFFC introduces optional cookies requiring consent, appropriate choices must be provided before those cookies are set.

Cookie names, providers, purposes, classification and expiry periods: The precise names, providers and expiry periods have not yet been verified. An inventory must be completed by inspecting cookies, local storage and network requests across the public website, authenticated areas, reservations and the WordPress shop. Until then, it would be inaccurate to state that login cookies are the only cookies in use. The Club will keep the inventory under review as services change.

We may update this Cookie Policy when our technology or legal requirements change. For questions, contact HFFC through the contact details on our website. Effective date: 1 November 2026.
