Cookie Policy

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. Cookies are used widely to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site. “Similar technologies” covers items such as local storage entries, pixel beacons and identifiers embedded in third-party scripts; all of them have similar effects.

2. Our overall stance

We try to use as few cookies as possible. PrimeXSport itself sets exactly one functional cookie and no tracking cookies. The third-party services we embed — Google Maps in the contact section, Google Fonts for typography — may set their own cookies, and they are listed in section 5 below. If you would rather avoid those, every modern browser lets you block third-party cookies on a per-site basis; the instructions are in section 7.

3. Categories we use

We classify cookies under the standard four categories used by the Information Commissioner’s Office and most cookie-consent frameworks:

• Strictly necessary — required for the site to function. Cannot be disabled in our cookie banner because the banner itself depends on them.
• Functional — remember preferences, such as whether you have dismissed the cookie banner.
• Analytics — measure how the site is used. We do not currently set any analytics cookies.
• Advertising — used to deliver tailored advertising. We do not set any advertising cookies of our own.

4. First-party cookies (set by PrimeXSport)

The following first-party cookie is set when you visit the Site:

• pxs_consent — Functional. Records that you have dismissed or interacted with the cookie banner. Stored in local storage. Expires after 12 months.

That is the only first-party item we set. There are no analytics, advertising, fingerprinting, A/B-testing or behaviour-tracking cookies under our domain.

5. Third-party cookies

The Site embeds a small number of third-party services. Where these are loaded, the third party may set cookies under its own domain — which means we have no direct access to them. The current list:

• Google Maps (maps.google.com, gstatic.com) — sets cookies such as NID, OGPC and similar for map functionality, language selection and basic abuse prevention. Loaded only when the contact section is visible. Governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
• Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) — typically does not set persistent cookies but does receive an HTTP request including your IP and user-agent when the font is fetched. Used for the Oswald and Inter typefaces.

We do not embed Facebook pixels, TikTok pixels, Hotjar, Clarity, Mixpanel, Segment, or any other behavioural-tracking provider. There are no advertising cookies on the Site.

6. How long cookies stay on your device

The lifetime of a cookie depends on its type. Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire on a fixed date or are manually cleared. The table below summarises lifetimes for the items above:

• pxs_consent — 12 months from your most recent visit.
• Google Maps NID — up to 6 months.
• Google Maps OGPC — typically up to 1 month.

7. How to manage and delete cookies

Every modern browser gives you fine-grained control over cookies. You can block them entirely, allow only first-party cookies, or clear all cookies set so far. The exact menus differ by browser; the most common entry points are:

• Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
• Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
• Mobile browsers — usually exposed under Settings → Privacy.

Blocking all cookies will not break the editorial parts of PrimeXSport. It may, however, disable the embedded Google Map and reset the cookie banner on every visit.

8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where your browser sends one. When GPC is detected, we treat your visit as if you have opted out of all non-essential third-party content; the Maps embed is replaced with a static placeholder. Older Do-Not-Track headers are interpreted the same way.

9. Changes to this policy

We will update this page whenever a new cookie is introduced, an existing one is renamed, or a third-party provider is added or removed. The “Updated” date at the top reflects the latest version.
