Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when visiting hellhot-20.uk. These technologies can support website functionality, retain certain preferences and provide technical information about how pages are accessed. Cookie settings can generally be controlled through the browser and, where available, through consent options displayed on the website.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on a computer, smartphone or other device when a website is visited. They may contain technical identifiers, session information and selected preferences. Cookies cannot independently run programs or access files stored elsewhere on a device.

• session cookies normally expire when the browser is closed;
• persistent cookies may remain until a specified expiry date;
• first-party cookies are associated with the website being visited;
• third-party cookies may be placed by external services used on a website.

The exact duration and purpose of a cookie depend on the function for which it is used.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support functions required for the website to operate correctly. They may be used for security, page delivery, session management and storage of cookie consent preferences. Disabling these technologies may prevent certain parts of the website from working as intended.

• maintaining basic website functionality;
• supporting security features;
• storing consent preferences;
• maintaining technical session information;
• supporting correct page display.

These cookies are generally used only where required to provide functions requested during a visit.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies may retain choices made during previous visits. These can include language settings, display preferences, device-related options and other selections that improve consistency between sessions.

If functional cookies are disabled, certain preferences may need to be selected again during a later visit. Their absence does not normally prevent access to the main informational content.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies may collect information about how visitors interact with hellhot-20.uk. The resulting data can be used to identify technical problems and evaluate how different sections of the website are used.

• pages viewed during a session;
• approximate duration of visits;
• browser and device type;
• general traffic source;
• technical errors encountered during navigation.

Where possible, analytical information is processed in aggregated form and is used to assess website performance rather than directly identify an individual visitor.

Advertising and measurement cookies

Advertising or measurement cookies may be used to assess interactions with promotional material and determine how particular website elements perform. Where consent is required, these cookies should only become active after the relevant preference has been selected.

Rejecting non-essential advertising cookies should not normally prevent access to the principal informational sections of the website.

Third-party technologies

Certain technical, analytical, embedded or security functions may depend on services provided by independent third parties. Such providers may place or access their own cookies when their technology is active on a page.

The collection and processing performed by an external provider is subject to that provider’s own technical practices and policies. The categories of third-party technologies active during a visit can vary according to website configuration and the visitor’s consent preferences.

Cookie duration

The period for which a cookie remains stored depends on its purpose. Session cookies are generally removed after the browser is closed, while persistent cookies may remain for a predefined period.

• some cookies remain only for the current browsing session;
• others may remain for several days or months;
• expired cookies can be removed automatically by the browser;
• stored cookies can also be deleted manually at any time.

A persistent cookie may also be replaced or renewed during a later visit where this is required for its technical purpose.

Managing cookie preferences

Most browsers provide controls for viewing, deleting and blocking stored cookies. Available settings vary depending on the browser, operating system and device being used.

• delete existing cookies;
• block all cookies;
• block only third-party cookies;
• restrict cookies from particular websites;
• receive a warning before cookies are stored.

Blocking every cookie may affect website functionality. Features that depend on session data or saved preferences may stop working correctly or require settings to be entered again.

Consent preferences

Where a cookie consent tool is displayed, available categories can be accepted or rejected according to the options provided. Strictly necessary technologies may remain active where they are required for basic operation and do not depend on optional consent.

Changing a preference does not necessarily remove cookies already stored on a device. Existing files can be deleted separately through the relevant browser settings.

Information collected through cookies

Depending on the technology used, cookies may store or generate technical information associated with a browsing session. The amount of information collected depends on the individual cookie and its purpose.

• technical identifiers;
• browser information;
• device characteristics;
• session preferences;
• page interaction information;
• timestamps and general navigation data.

Sensitive information such as passwords or complete payment card details should not be intentionally stored in ordinary website analytics or preference cookies.

Changes to this policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated when website technology, cookie categories, operating practices or applicable requirements change. The version displayed on this page replaces previous versions from the date on which the revised text is published.

Periodic review of this page can help identify changes concerning the types of cookies used, their purposes, storage periods and the available methods for managing preferences.
