Cookie Policy
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner about how the site is being used.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access other information stored on your device. There are different types of cookies:
- Session cookies — temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them
- First-party cookies — set directly by athlife.com
- Third-party cookies — set by external services we use (e.g., Google Analytics, HubSpot)
Cookie Categories We Use
We use four categories of cookies on athlife.com. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. All others require your consent, which you can manage via our cookie banner or the settings link in our footer.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the site may not work as a result. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits, understand where traffic comes from, and see which pages are most popular. All data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Marketing & Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising and social media partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Functional / Preference Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly — for example, remembering your cookie preferences for future visits.
