What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies," while cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features and functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as interactive content, analytics, and advertising.
When you browse the RestoreGear store looking for a foam roller, massage balls, or a yoga mat, cookies help the site remember which items you placed in your basket and which pages you visited. Without them, every page load would behave as if you had just arrived for the first time.
02
Why We Use Cookies
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies.
Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our online store. If you previously browsed resistance bands or a knee support sleeve, for instance, cookies may help us show you related stretching equipment that matches your past activity.
Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. These partners help us understand which product pages perform well and how visitors find our store, so we can keep improving the range of myofascial release tools and recovery gear we offer.
03
Types of Cookies Used
The cookies used on our site generally fall into the following categories. Each serves a specific function, and only the first category is required for the store to operate.
Essential Cookies
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable basic features like basket management, secure login, and page navigation. You cannot access parts of our store that rely on them — such as checkout for items like a pilates mat or a peanut massage ball — without allowing these cookies.
Performance and Functionality Cookies
Non-Essential
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and features of our website but are non-essential. They may remember your preferences — such as size or colour choices for a back support cushion — so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit.
Analytics and Customization Cookies
Non-Essential
These cookies help us understand how the website is being used and how effective our marketing is. They collect aggregated information about which pages get the most traffic — for example, whether more visitors read about foam rolling exercises or stretching for beginners — so we can focus on what our customers actually use.

Controlling Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. The exact steps vary by browser, but most modern browsers let you manage cookies through a settings or preferences menu.
If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website — though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. For example, you may still browse our fitness bands and knee brace for sports collections, but basket and checkout features that rely on session cookies will not work as intended.
Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. You can find opt-out resources through your browser settings or through industry initiatives that provide a central opt-out mechanism for participating networks.
05
Duration of Cookies
The length of time a cookie will stay on your browsing device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie.
Session Cookies
These only stay on your device until you stop browsing. They are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are typically used for things like remembering items in your basket while you shop.
Persistent Cookies
These stay on your browsing device after you have finished browsing until they expire or are deleted. They remember your preferences across visits — for example, whether you prefer gentle fitness equipment or heavier-duty mobility tools.
You can clear persistent cookies at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will reset any saved preferences for your next visit.
06
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The effective date shown at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last reviewed or revised.
