King Marbles® Cookie Policy
🍪 Cookies? We Prefer Marbles! 🔵
At King Marbles®, we think marbles are far more colourful, interesting and collectable than cookies.
Unfortunately, websites don’t work particularly well on marbles, so ours occasionally needs to use a few cookies instead.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why we may use them and how you can decide which ones you’re happy for us to use.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store on your computer, tablet or mobile device.
Cookies can perform useful jobs such as remembering your preferences, helping a website function correctly and providing information about how visitors use the site.
They don’t contain chocolate chips, and we haven’t yet worked out how to put a marble inside one.
Necessary Cookies — The Ones We Actually Need
Necessary cookies help the King Marbles website operate correctly.
They may be used for things such as security, remembering your cookie choices, maintaining website functionality and enabling features that you have specifically requested.
Because these cookies are required for the website to function properly, they cannot normally be switched off through our cookie preferences.
In marble terms: these are the ones that keep everything rolling in the right direction.
Analytics Cookies — Helping Us Count the Marbles
Analytics cookies can help us understand how people use the King Marbles website.
For example, they may tell us which pages are visited most frequently, approximately how visitors navigate around the site and which parts of the website are proving particularly popular.
We use this information to help us improve the website and make it more useful and enjoyable.
Analytics cookies are optional. Where consent is required, they will only be used if you choose to allow them.
Marketing Cookies — Spreading the Marble Word
Marketing cookies may be used to help make advertising and promotional activity more relevant.
They can potentially help us understand the effectiveness of advertising or recognise visits across websites where advertising technology is being used.
Marketing cookies are optional and, where consent is required, will only be used if you choose to allow them.
Don’t want them? That’s absolutely fine. You can still enjoy King Marbles without being followed around the internet by a bag of marbles.
Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit our website, our cookie notice gives you the opportunity to:
Accept All — allow necessary, analytics and marketing cookies.
Reject Non-Essential — allow only the cookies necessary for the website to operate.
Cookie Preferences — choose which optional types of cookies you are happy for us to use.
You can change your decision later by using the Cookie Settings option on our website.
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Different cookies can remain on your device for different periods.
Some disappear when you close your browser, while others may remain for longer so that the website can remember your preferences when you return.
Where our cookie consent system remembers the choice you have made, that preference may be stored for up to 180 days, after which we may ask you again.
Third-Party Services
From time to time, our website may use services supplied by other companies, such as website analytics, embedded content or advertising services.
Those providers may use their own cookies where appropriate. Where those cookies are not essential, we aim to obtain your consent before allowing them to be used.
Third-party providers are responsible for their own privacy and cookie practices.
Changing or Removing Cookies
In addition to using our Cookie Settings, most web browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through the browser’s privacy settings.
Blocking all cookies can affect how some websites operate, so you may find it more convenient to reject only non-essential cookies through our own cookie controls.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy if the King Marbles website changes, if we introduce new services or if the cookies and technologies we use change.
We therefore recommend checking this page occasionally for the latest version.
