Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required to provide a website function or service that you request, or to keep the website secure and operational.
They may be used to:
- remember your cookie choices;
- keep forms and requested sessions working;
- protect the website from spam, fraud or malicious activity;
- maintain secure account or administrative sessions;
- support a booking or payment function you choose to use.
These cookies do not require consent where the relevant legal exemption applies. However, information about them is still provided for transparency.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the website from functioning properly.
Analytics and performance cookies
Where enabled, analytics technology helps Eat My Pixel understand:
- how many people visit the website;
- which pages are viewed;
- how visitors reach the website;
- whether pages or features work effectively;
- general device and browser information.
Analytics information may use identifiers and technical information such as IP address, device type, browser, approximate location and website activity.
Eat My Pixel treats analytics cookies as optional and requests consent unless a specific legal exemption applies and all conditions for that exemption have been met.
Rejecting analytics cookies will not stop you from using the main website.
Marketing and advertising cookies
Marketing cookies may be used where Eat My Pixel runs digital advertising, campaign measurement or audience features.
They may:
- measure whether an advert led to a website visit or enquiry;
- help limit repeated advertising;
- create or measure advertising audiences;
- personalise advertising on another platform;
- link website activity with information held by an advertising platform.
These cookies are optional and should not load until the required consent has been given.
If you reject them, you may still see adverts, but they should not be personalised using these website cookies.
Embedded content
Some pages may display content supplied by an external platform, such as:
- YouTube or other video players;
- Instagram or Facebook posts;
- Google Maps;
- reviews or social-media feeds;
- external booking widgets.
External providers may attempt to place cookies, collect device information or recognise a signed-in account when their content loads.
Where required, embedded content may be blocked until you allow the relevant cookie category. If you do not allow it, a placeholder or direct link may appear instead.
The external provider’s own cookie and privacy policies also apply when you interact with its service.
Business Hub booking and payment cookies
Business Hub listings may link to or include booking, calendar or payment functions supplied by independent providers or external technology platforms.
These services may use cookies to:
- remember a selected service, date or time;
- maintain a booking session;
- prevent duplicate bookings;
- protect checkout and payment processes;
- detect fraud or suspicious activity;
- remember preferences;
- measure booking performance where permitted.
Cookies genuinely necessary to complete a booking or payment requested by you may operate under the applicable essential exemption.
Analytics, advertising or other optional cookies used by a booking provider remain subject to the appropriate consent requirements.
If you leave Eat My Pixel and complete a booking on another business’s website, that business or platform is responsible for its own cookie controls and policy.
Consent and your choices
When you first visit, the website should present cookie choices that allow you to:
Choosing “Reject” should be as easy as choosing “Accept”. Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent essential cookies from operating.
You may change your mind at any time by reopening the cookie settings through the cookie icon or preferences link displayed on the website.
Your consent-management plugin should place a permanent “Cookie settings” link or icon on the website. This allows visitors to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.
Browser and device controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings.
You may be able to:
- block all cookies;
- block third-party cookies;
- delete existing cookies;
- receive a warning before a cookie is stored;
- clear site data when the browser closes.
Browser controls operate separately from the Eat My Pixel cookie banner. Deleting the consent cookie may cause the banner to appear again.
Blocking all cookies may affect forms, booking tools, security functions, embedded content or other parts of the website.
Session and persistent cookies
Cookies may remain for different lengths of time.
Usually expire when you close your browser or shortly afterwards.
Remain until their expiry date, until replaced or until you delete them.
Cookie duration is determined by the purpose of the cookie and, for third-party cookies, by the external provider.
Eat My Pixel will review cookie durations and avoid retaining identifiers longer than reasonably necessary.
Cookies and personal information
Some cookie information may constitute personal information when it identifies, singles out or can be linked to a person or device.
The Eat My Pixel Privacy Policy explains:
- what personal information is collected;
- how and why it is used;
- who it may be shared with;
- how long it is retained;
- your UK data-protection rights.
Changes to this policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated when:
- website plugins or features change;
- a new analytics, booking, advertising or payment service is introduced;
- cookies or their duration change;
- legal or regulatory requirements change.
The latest version will be displayed on this page with its revision date.
Where a material change affects existing cookie choices, visitors may be asked to make a new selection.
