Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies. By using our website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies following the terms of this policy.

What Are Cookies?

A “cookie” is a text file placed on your device's internal memory when you visit our website which helps record how you navigate our website. Cookies allow our website to recognize a particular device or browser and help us present you with tailored options based on the information stored from your previous visit.

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you and it doesn't harm your device in any way.

System cookies are created each time you visit us and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They remember the fact you're logged in and remember the selections that you make as you use the Website and Mobile Application. To find out more about cookies generally, including how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Identification cookies help us remember who you are when you come back to visit us and allow us to personalise timely and relative content to improve your journey and member experience.

Tracking cookies track any information or warning messages we've shown you, so that we don't show them again. If you express preferences about whether or not to receive certain types of cookie, we'll also use a cookie to store this preference.

Web analytics / Marketing effectiveness cookies collect anonymous data to help us understand customer behaviour, so we can make thegymgroup.com better. They tell us which bits of the Website and Mobile Application customers use the most and flag up any problems, so we can fix them quickly. They also tell us how customers find the Website and Mobile Application (for example via online adverts and search engines), so we know how effectively we are marketing.

Cookies for personalising your experience

We use cookies to understand the way you use our Website, for example the searches and selections you make. This allows us to tailor your experience on thegymgroup.com by showing you the correct content that we think might be relevant to you. These cookies allow us to understand your online behaviour and tailor your experience outside of our site. For example, the adverts you see for thegymgroup.com on other websites may be specially targeted to include the routes that you have searched for on BareRooms Ltd website.

Cookies for optimising the content shown on our website

We may wish to test a change or new feature on the site to see if it is effective before rolling it out to all our users. Cookies allow a random sample of site visitors to see it one way, and a different group another and ensure that you consistently get the same experience on repeat visits.
