1. Who we are

This Cookie Policy explains how Rivals Social (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website [www.rivalssocial.com].

For how we handle your personal data more generally, please see our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how people use our pages.

We also use similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) which work in a comparable way. In this policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies”.

3. What types of cookies do we use?

We use the following categories of cookies:

a) Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the website to function and to provide the services you ask for, for example:

• Keeping you logged in to your account

• Enabling the booking / checkout process

• Remembering your cookie preferences

You can’t switch these off in our systems, but you can block them in your browser (which may stop parts of the site working properly).

b) Performance / analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it – for example which pages are visited most and if users encounter errors.

• We use these cookies in a way that does not directly identify you.

• Examples include [e.g. Google Analytics].

You can refuse these cookies through our cookie banner (where available) or by adjusting your browser settings.

c) Functional cookies
These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your city, language, or saved details) and provide enhanced features.

If you disable these, some personalised features may not work as intended.

d) Advertising / marketing cookies
These cookies may be set by us or our advertising partners (for example, social media platforms) to:

• Show you relevant adverts for Rivals Social

• Measure the effectiveness of our campaigns

• Build audiences for future advertising

These cookies can track your browsing across other sites and build a profile of your interests. We only use them with your consent, which you can manage via the cookie banner or your browser settings.

4. Cookies we use

The exact cookies we use may change from time to time as we improve our website, but they will generally fall into the categories above. We currently use (or may use):

• Website & booking platform cookies – to run the site and process bookings

• Analytics cookies – [e.g. Google Analytics] to understand website usage

• Marketing / pixel cookies – [e.g. Meta Pixel, Google Ads, TikTok Pixel] to measure and improve our advertising

We will update this policy if we introduce any significantly different types of cookies.

5. How to manage cookies

You have several options for controlling cookies:

• Cookie banner / preferences – where available, you can set your preferences for non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing) when you first visit the site or by revisiting your settings.

• Browser settings – you can block or delete cookies using your browser controls. How you do this varies by browser; typically you’ll find it under Settings → Privacy or Cookies.

• Third-party tools – some advertising partners provide their own opt-out tools, for example via Your Online Choices or similar platforms.

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the way our website functions.

6. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third parties, such as:

• Analytics providers

• Advertising networks

• Embedded content or plugins (for example, maps, video or social media widgets)

These third parties are responsible for how they use your data. You can find more information in their own privacy and cookie policies.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features or tools. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you of the changes.
