Cookies Policy

Last Updated: 14 June 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how Ranger Club UK ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website https://rangerclub.uk.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. 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, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies can be:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser.

  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them.

2. Your Consent

When you first visit our website, you will be shown a cookie consent banner. We will only set non-essential cookies (analytics, functional, and targeting cookies) once you have given your consent.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings as described in Section 5. Withdrawing consent will not affect any processing that took place before withdrawal.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent as they are essential for the website to function.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to ensure our website functions correctly, to analyse how the site is used, and to support our marketing efforts. We categorise our cookies as follows:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Consent required: No

These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

  • Platform Functionality: As our site is built on Squarespace, we use these cookies to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and ensure site security. Retained for the duration of your session.

  • E-Commerce: To remember items in your shopping cart and process your orders securely in the Store. Retained for the duration of your session.

  • User Sessions: To keep you logged into the member areas as you navigate between pages. Retained for up to 30 days or until you log out.

  • Referral Tracking: If you arrive via a member's referral link, the following cookies are set automatically to display a personalised welcome banner. These cookies contain no personally identifiable information and cannot currently be controlled via the consent banner.

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies

Consent required: Yes

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and if they receive error messages. All information is aggregated and anonymous.

  • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and usage trends. Data is retained for up to 26 months. Google's privacy policy applies to data processed by Google Analytics.

  • Squarespace Analytics: To monitor the performance of our site and popular content. Retained for up to 12 months.

C. Functional Cookies

Consent required: Yes

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features.

  • Preferences: Remembering your display settings or whether you have already dismissed a pop-up banner. Retained for up to 12 months.

D. Targeting & Affiliate Cookies

Consent required: Yes

We use these cookies to track the performance of our marketing and affiliate partnerships.

  • Affiliate Links: If you click on a partner link (e.g., for vehicle parts or accessories) on our site, a cookie may be placed to track the referral so we can earn a small commission. Retained for up to 30 days.

  • Social Media: Our site may include buttons for Facebook, Instagram, or other social platforms. These third parties may set their own cookies to track your activity. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those platforms directly.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Third parties (including providers of external services like web traffic analysis) may also use cookies over which we have no control. These are likely to be analytics or targeting cookies.

Key third-party providers on our site include:

  • Google (Analytics): privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy

  • Squarespace (Hosting & Metrics): privacy policy at squarespace.com/privacy

  • Stripe / PayPal (Payment processing): see their respective privacy policies

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to accept or reject non-essential cookies at any time. You can manage your preferences through:

  • Our cookie consent banner, shown on your first visit to the site

  • Your web browser settings, which allow you to see, delete, or block cookies at any time
