9. Cookies, Analytics and Advertising Technologies
Hydrofoil Store uses cookies and similar technologies to provide a secure, reliable and personalised shopping experience.
These technologies help us operate our website, remember your preferences, analyse website performance, understand customer behaviour and, where you have given your consent, deliver relevant advertising.
We are committed to using these technologies responsibly and in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website.
Some cookies are essential for the website to function correctly, while others help us understand how visitors use our website or allow us to deliver more relevant advertising.
We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits (SDKs), which operate in a similar way.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website.
Without them, important features such as shopping baskets, customer logins and secure checkout cannot function correctly.
These cookies may be used to:
- maintain your shopping basket;
- authenticate customer accounts;
- remember security settings;
- process payments;
- prevent fraudulent activity;
- balance website traffic;
- comply with legal obligations.
Because these cookies are essential, they cannot be disabled through our Cookie Preference Centre.
2. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, improving your shopping experience.
Examples include:
- preferred language;
- preferred currency;
- saved preferences;
- recently viewed products;
- accessibility settings.
These cookies improve usability but are not essential for the operation of the website.
3. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website.
This allows us to improve navigation, product information, website performance and customer experience.
Hydrofoil Store currently uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
Subject to your consent, Google Analytics may collect information including:
- pages visited;
- products viewed;
- session duration;
- approximate location;
- browser information;
- device information;
- referral sources;
- website interactions;
- conversion events.
Where possible, information collected through Google Analytics is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors.
You may refuse Analytics Cookies without affecting your ability to use our website.
4. Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies allow us to understand which advertising campaigns are effective and to display advertising that is more relevant to your interests.
These cookies may be placed by us or by carefully selected advertising partners.
Hydrofoil Store currently uses advertising technologies provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited.
Marketing cookies may collect information including:
- pages visited;
- products viewed;
- products added to basket;
- completed purchases;
- browser information;
- device information;
- approximate location;
- advertising interactions.
Marketing cookies are only activated after you have provided your consent.
You may withdraw your consent at any time through our Cookie Preference Centre.
Meta Business Tools
To help us understand how our advertising performs and improve our marketing activities, Hydrofoil Store uses Meta Business Tools.
These may include:
- Meta Pixel
- Meta Conversions API (where enabled)
- Facebook Custom Audiences
- Instagram Advertising
- Dynamic Product Ads
- Conversion Tracking
These technologies help us understand whether advertising campaigns are successful and allow us to show relevant products to people who may be interested in them.
Meta Pixel
The Meta Pixel is a small piece of code installed on our website.
Subject to your consent, it records actions taken on our website such as:
- viewing a page;
- viewing a product;
- searching for products;
- adding products to a basket;
- beginning checkout;
- completing a purchase;
- contacting us.
This information helps us:
- understand which advertisements generate sales;
- improve our advertising campaigns;
- measure return on advertising spend;
- reduce irrelevant advertising;
- better understand customer journeys.
The Meta Pixel does not provide us with access to your Facebook or Instagram account.
Meta Conversions API
Where enabled, we may also use Meta Conversions API.
Unlike browser-based tracking, Conversions API securely sends certain purchase and conversion events directly from Shopify to Meta.
This improves:
- measurement accuracy;
- advertising performance;
- event reliability;
- fraud prevention.
Information transmitted may include:
- order value;
- purchase event;
- hashed contact information (where appropriate);
- event timestamps;
- browser identifiers;
- transaction identifiers.
Hydrofoil Store only uses Meta Conversions API in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and subject to your cookie preferences where legally required.
Facebook & Instagram Advertising
We advertise products using Meta advertising platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
This may include:
- Dynamic Product Ads;
- Remarketing campaigns;
- Lookalike Audiences;
- Broad targeting;
- Conversion campaigns.
If you consent to Marketing Cookies, Meta may use information collected from our website together with information it already holds about you to personalise advertisements displayed across Meta services.
Hydrofoil Store does not receive information about your activities on other websites.
Remarketing
If you visit our website and consent to Marketing Cookies, you may later see Hydrofoil Store advertisements on:
- Facebook;
- Instagram;
- Meta Audience Network.
This is commonly known as remarketing or retargeting.
Remarketing allows us to show advertisements for products you have viewed or that may be relevant to your interests.
You can opt out at any time by:
- changing your Cookie Preferences on our website;
- adjusting your advertising preferences within your Meta account.
Shopify Customer Privacy
Hydrofoil Store uses Shopify's Customer Privacy tools to manage visitor consent.
These tools help ensure that:
- analytics cookies are only placed after consent where required;
- marketing cookies are only placed after consent where required;
- Meta advertising technologies respect visitor consent choices;
- Google Analytics respects visitor consent choices;
- visitors can change their preferences at any time.
Your consent choices are securely recorded so that we can demonstrate compliance with applicable privacy legislation.
Managing Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a Cookie Banner.
You may choose to:
- Accept All Cookies;
- Reject Non-Essential Cookies; or
- Manage Cookie Preferences.
You may change these choices at any time by selecting the Cookie Preferences link available in the footer of our website.
Changing your preferences will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your preferences were updated.
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
Where technically supported, Hydrofoil Store will endeavour to respect recognised browser-based privacy preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), where they are compatible with our systems and applicable legal requirements.

- we are permitted to do so under applicable law, such as the "soft opt-in" rules under PECR where they apply.
Every marketing email contains an unsubscribe link, allowing you to opt out at any time.
Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not prevent us from sending essential service communications relating to orders, payments, deliveries, returns or your customer account.
We do not send marketing communications by SMS.
11. Sharing Your Personal Information
Hydrofoil Store only shares your personal information where it is necessary to operate our business, fulfil your orders, comply with legal obligations, or where you have given your consent.

If any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to ask us to correct it.
You can also update much of your account information directly through your customer account.

This is sometimes referred to as the Right to be Forgotten.
Please note that we may be unable to delete certain information where we are legally required to retain it, for example accounting records or information required to resolve disputes or comply with legal obligations.

You may ask us to temporarily restrict the way we process your personal information in certain circumstances, for example while the accuracy of information is being verified.

Where technically feasible, you may also ask us to transfer this information directly to another organisation.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to certain processing activities carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests.
You also have the absolute right to object at any time to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.

16. Children's Privacy
Hydrofoil Store supplies products intended for general consumer use but our website is not designed for children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us immediately.

These technologies assist us in delivering our services and improving customer experience.
Hydrofoil Store does not make decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals solely through automated means.
Where automated tools are used by trusted service providers (such as Shopify, payment providers or fraud prevention systems), they are used to assist decision-making rather than replace human judgement.

Our website may contain links to external websites operated by third parties.
Examples may include:
