Cookie Policy

Last updated: 27th July 2026

 

1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how PathwayGolf ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, www.pathwaygolf.co.uk (the "Website").

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more fully how we handle personal information and the rights you have. Where cookies collect information that identifies you, that information is handled in line with our Privacy Policy.

Because our Website is used by young people as well as adults, we take extra care to keep non-essential tracking to a minimum and we do not use cookies to build marketing profiles of children.

 

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit. They help the website work, remember your choices, keep the site secure, and understand how the site is used. We also use this policy to cover similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage, which do similar things.

Cookies may be:

  • Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or persistent cookies, which stay on your device for a set period.

  • First-party cookies, set by us (or our website platform on our behalf); or third-party cookies, set by another organisation whose service we use.

 

3. The law and your consent

In the UK, the use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and, where personal data is involved, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Under these rules:

  • Strictly necessary (essential) cookies do not require your consent, because the site cannot work properly without them.

  • All other cookies (for example analytics, functionality and marketing cookies) are only placed on your device with your consent.

We ask for your consent through our cookie banner when you first visit, and you can change or withdraw your consent at any time (see Section 8). We do not treat simply continuing to browse as consent for non-essential cookies.

 

4. The types of cookies we use

Essential cookies - needed to run the site, keep it secure, and remember your session. The site will not work properly without these, so they are always on.

Functional cookies - remember choices you make (such as preferences) to improve your experience. Used only with your consent.

Analytics/performance cookies - help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Used only with your consent.

Marketing/targeting cookies - used to measure and support marketing (for example if you arrive from, or interact with, our social media). Used only with your consent, and never to profile children.

​

5. The cookies on our site

Our Website is built on the Wix platform, which sets the essential cookies to keep the site secure, stable and working correctly.

​Other cookies. Depending on the features and third-party tools we use, our site may also set additional cookies — for example analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics), social media cookies (such as from Facebook or Instagram where content is embedded or linked), or cookies from other Wix business tools. These non-essential cookies are only used with your consent.

​

6. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services appear on or support our site. We do not control these cookies, and you should read the relevant third party's own cookie and privacy information. These may include:

  • Wix - our website platform (see Wix's cookie information).

  • Social media - such as Facebook and Instagram, where we link to or embed social content.

  • Analytics providers - such as Google Analytics, if enabled, to help us understand site usage.

​

7. Cookies and children

Our Services are aimed at young people aged 5-16, so we are careful about tracking. We do not use analytics or marketing cookies to build profiles of children or to target advertising at them. In line with the ICO's Age Appropriate Design Code (the Children's Code), non-essential cookies are off by default until consent is given, and we keep any tracking to the minimum needed.

​

8. How to manage or withdraw your consent

You are in control of non-essential cookies. You can:

  • Use our cookie banner / settings to accept or decline non-essential cookies, and to change your choice at any time. [Explain here how to reopen the banner — e.g. "click the Cookie Settings link in the footer".]

  • Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working.

Guidance for common browsers:

To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can use Google's opt-out tool: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

 

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example if we add new features or the law changes. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date above, and where appropriate, ask for fresh consent.
