1. Who we are
This Cookie Policy explains how Freezing Fat (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on freezingfat.co.uk (the “Site”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies (e.g., local storage, pixels). Under UK rules, you must be told about cookies and obtain consent for non‑essential cookies. There is an exception for strictly necessary cookies that enable services you request (e.g., keeping a booking in your basket).
3. The cookies we use
We group cookies by purpose. Exact names and lifetimes depend on your browser and device.
- Strictly necessary (essential for the site, e.g., security, load‑balancing, session state). Consent not required.
- Functional (remember choices such as location or chat widget preferences).
- Analytics (help us understand visits and improve the site). Consent required.
- Advertising/retargeting (measure campaigns and show relevant ads). Consent required.

4. Third‑party cookies
Some third‑party services embedded on the Site (for example, analytics, video or chat tools) may set their own cookies when they load. Where these are non‑essential, we will only run them after you give consent.
