Cookie Policy

Last updated: 11/12/2025

This Cookies Policy explains how TDM Gym (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our Shopify-powered online store at www.tdmgym.com (“Website”).

By continuing to browse or use our Website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you change your preferences using your browser settings.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the site:

• Recognise your device
  
  

• Remember your preferences and actions
  
  

• Keep your shopping basket and checkout working
  
  

• Help us understand how people use the Website
  
  

Some cookies are set directly by us, and others are set by Shopify and third-party apps we use to run our store.

2. Shopify platform and cookies

Our store is hosted on Shopify. Shopify provides the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services.

Because we use Shopify, Shopify places cookies on your device to:

• Run the online store and checkout securely
  
  

• Remember your basket and login state
  
  

• Measure store performance and traffic
  
  

• Help prevent fraud and maintain security
  
  

Shopify may also use cookies as part of its own analytics and reporting. For more detail on Shopify’s use of cookies, you can refer to Shopify’s own cookie and privacy documentation.

3. Who sets the cookies?

Cookies on our Website may be:

• First-party cookies
  Set directly by TDM Gym or Shopify when you use our Website.
  
  

• Third-party cookies
  Set by other services we use, such as:
  
  

• Analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics)
  
  

• Advertising and social media platforms (e.g. Meta/Facebook, Google Ads)
  
  

• Shopify apps installed in our store (e.g. review apps, upsell apps, email marketing apps)
  
  

4. Types of cookies we use

a) Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential to run our Shopify store and for you to:

• Browse products
  
  

• Add items to your basket
  
  

• Log in to your account
  
  

• Complete checkout and payment securely
  
  

Without these cookies, the Website and checkout will not work properly. Because they are necessary, they do not require your consent, but you can still block them in your browser (although the site may then stop functioning correctly).

Examples (names may vary by theme and apps):

• Cookies to store your cart contents
  
  

• Session cookies to recognise you as you move from page to page
  
  

• Security and fraud-prevention cookies created by Shopify
  
  

b) Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us and Shopify understand how the store is used so we can improve it. They may collect information such as:

• Which pages are visited and for how long
  
  

• Which products are viewed
  
  

• The route taken through the Website
  
  

• Technical information (browser type, device type, etc.)
  
  

We may use:

• Shopify’s built-in analytics
  
  

• Third-party tools like Google Analytics
  
  

The data is generally aggregated and does not directly identify you.

c) Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow the Website to:

• Remember your preferences (e.g. currency, region)
  
  

• Keep you logged in where you choose
  
  

• Support features from Shopify apps (e.g. wishlists, product recommendations, review widgets)
  
  

If you disable these cookies, the store may still work but some features or preferences may not function as intended.

d) Advertising and targeting cookies

These cookies are used for marketing and retargeting purposes, for example to:

• Show you relevant TDM Gym ads on other websites or social media platforms
  
  

• Track how you arrived at our Website (e.g. from an ad or social post)
  
  

• Measure the effectiveness of our ad campaigns
  
  

These may be set by:

• Meta/Facebook
  
  

• Google Ads
  
  

• Other advertising networks and Shopify marketing apps
  
  

You can usually manage your preferences for these cookies in your browser and via the settings of the relevant advertising platforms.

5. Examples of cookies on a Shopify store

Below is an example of the types of cookies that might be used on a Shopify store like ours. The exact cookies will depend on our theme and installed apps, so this list is illustrative rather than exhaustive.

Important: This is an example set. You should check your actual store (e.g. via your browser’s developer tools or a cookie scanner, plus your Shopify admin and apps) and update the names, providers, purposes, and expiry times to match your real setup.

6. How we obtain your consent

When you first visit our Website, your browser will receive cookies that are necessary for the store to function.

If we use non-essential cookies (for analytics or advertising), we will seek your consent where required by law. This may be done via:

• A banner or pop-up when you first visit
  
  

• Settings in your browser or device
  
  

By continuing to use the Website after seeing any cookie notice, you consent to the use of cookies as described here, unless you adjust your browser or device settings.

7. How to manage and delete cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

a) Browser settings

Most browsers let you:

• View which cookies are stored
  
  

• Block some or all cookies
  
  

• Delete cookies when you close the browser
  
  

These settings are usually found under “Settings”, “Options”, or “Privacy and Security” in your browser. If you block or delete cookies that are necessary for the Shopify checkout, parts of the Website may not work, and you may not be able to place orders.

b) Third-party opt-outs

For third-party tools, you may also be able to:

• Use Google’s tools to opt out of Google Analytics or personalised ads
  
  

• Adjust ad preferences in Meta/Facebook, Google, and other platforms
  
  

• Use industry tools (for example, EU “online choices” services) to manage interest-based advertising
  
  

8. Other tracking technologies

Our Shopify store and apps may also use similar technologies, such as:

• Pixels or web beacons (for example, Facebook Pixel or other ad pixels) to track conversions and ad performance
  
  

• Local storage to remember preferences or state within your browser
  
  

These work alongside cookies and can often be managed through the same browser settings.

9. Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time, for example if:

• We add or remove Shopify apps
  
  

• We change our analytics or advertising tools
  
  

• The law or guidance changes
  
  

Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. We recommend checking this page periodically.
