Cookie policy

This is the cookie policy for WUB Hobbies, at wubhobbies.com.

What cookies are

Like most websites, this site uses cookies – tiny files saved in your browser so the site can remember things from one page to the next. This page explains what they collect, how we use them, and why we sometimes need them. For more on cookies in general, see the Wikipedia article on HTTP cookies.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for the reasons below. In most cases there’s no way to turn a cookie off without also turning off the part of the site it runs, so if you’re not sure whether you need one, it’s best to leave cookies on.

Turning cookies off

You can block cookies in your browser settings (your browser’s Help section shows how). Blocking them affects how this site – and most other sites – work. The site still works for reading, but you won’t be able to add things to your cart, check out, book a class or log in to your account.

The cookies we set

Account cookies

If you create an account with us, cookies help with signing up and looking after your account. They’re usually deleted when you log out, though some may stay to remember your preferences.

Login cookies

When you’re logged in, cookies remember that, so you don’t have to log in again on every page. They’re removed when you log out, so nobody else on the same browser can get into your account.

Cart and order cookies

When you shop or book a class, cookies remember what’s in your cart as you move between pages, so we can process your order properly. When you place an order, we also save how you found us – Instagram, a Google search, a link in our newsletter – so we know where people hear about us.

Newsletter cookies

If you’ve signed up for our newsletter, cookies may remember that you’re subscribed, so we don’t keep asking you to sign up – and, when you click a link in one of our emails, which email you came from.

Form cookies

When you send us something through a form – a party enquiry, a waitlist sign-up – cookies may remember your details so you don’t have to type them in again.

Site preference cookies

Some cookies remember how you like to use the site – like whether you’ve visited before – so it can show you the right thing next time.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by other companies we work with:

• Google Analytics helps us understand how people use the site – which pages you visit, how long you stay and how you found us – so we can keep improving it. It doesn’t tell us who you are. For more, see how Google uses cookies.
• Stripe, our payment processor, sets cookies on product, cart and checkout pages to spot fraud and keep your payment secure. See Stripe’s cookie policy.
• Cloudflare protects the site from attacks and sets a short-lived cookie to tell people from bots.
• Amazon – some links in our gear list go to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases, and Amazon uses a cookie to know we sent you.
• Google Maps and reviews – if you view our location or reviews from Google on our site, Google may set its own cookies.
• Instagram, YouTube and Twitch – our social media icons link to our pages there. Once you click through, those sites’ own cookies apply.

More information

Hopefully that’s cleared things up. If there’s something you’re not sure you need, it’s usually safer to leave cookies on – it may be one the shop or your bookings depend on.
