GDPR, Privacy and Cookies Policy

Cookies track of what you have in your basket, and to remember you when you return to our site.

A cookie is a tiny text file stored on your computer when you visit certain webpages. At yo-yopod.co.uk, we use cookies to keep track of what you do on our sites, and to remember you when you return to our site.

Cookies can't harm your computer. We don't store personally identifiable information such as credit card details in cookies we create, but we do use encrypted information gathered from them to help improve your experience of the site. For example, they help us to identify and resolve errors, or to determine relevant related products to show you when you're browsing.

Our website uses both persistent and session cookies:

Session cookies are used in order to allow customers to carry information across pages of the website, without having to re-enter such information. These cookies delete themselves automatically when you leave a website and go to another, or when you shut down your browser.

Persistent cookies are used to allow the website to recognise users when they return to the site and to remember certain information about their preferences. These cookies stay on your computer until they expire or, until you "manually" delete them.

The main purposes for which cookies are used are:

1. For technical purposes essential to effective operation of website, particularly in relation to on-line transactions.
2. To drive Yo-Yo POD marketing, particularly online advertisements and targeted updates.
3. To enable Yo-Yo POD to collect information about the browsing habits and activities of customers, including to monitor the success of campaigns, promotions etc.
4. To allow customers to talk with us while browsing the website or to offer customers an invitation to talk with one of our customer service representatives.

Cookie List

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
