Horse Monkey Cookie Notice
Effective date: 26..09.01
This Notice explains how Horse Monkey Limited uses cookies and similar technologies on the Horse Monkey UK website and related online services. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, scripts and tags that store information on, or access information from, your browser or device.
Some technologies are necessary to provide a feature you request, maintain security or process a payment. Others are optional. We use optional analytics only where you choose to allow it.
2. Your choices
When you first visit, you can:
- Allow analytics;
- Reject analytics; or
- open Cookie settings for more information and available controls.
Necessary technologies remain active because Horse Monkey cannot provide or secure the requested Service without them. Analytics remains off unless you allow it. Closing or ignoring the cookie message does not allow analytics.
You can reopen Cookie settings from the website at any time to change your analytics choice or object to preference technologies. Withdrawing consent stops future analytics use and removes associated first-party analytics cookies from the browser where technically possible.
Where you choose a setting that Horse Monkey remembers beyond your current browser session, we tell you that the setting will be remembered. Your action in choosing that setting provides the consent needed to store the preference for the stated period. You can change or clear the preference using the relevant setting or your browser controls.
3. Necessary technologies
These technologies provide requested features, maintain sessions, protect accounts and forms, balance traffic or support payments. Consent is not required where the technology is strictly necessary for the requested purpose, but we still explain its use.

4. Preference technologies
These technologies remember a choice you make or adapt functionality to that choice. A preference needed only for the current session may operate without a separate consent where the law permits. Where a preference is remembered beyond the current session, we use it only after you make the relevant setting choice and are told that the choice will be remembered. You can change or clear the preference at any time.

5. Analytics

7. Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager helps us control website tags. It does not ordinarily place its own cookies, but tags deployed through it are subject to the choices and restrictions in this Notice. An analytics or other optional tag must not fire unless the required choice has been made.
8. Third parties and international processing
Google, Stripe, Intercom and Cloudflare may process information outside the United Kingdom. Our Privacy Policy explains how we address international transfers. Each provider also publishes information about its own technologies and processing.
9. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block and delete cookies. Blocking all cookies may prevent login, payment or other requested Horse Monkey functions from working. Browser controls do not replace the choices Horse Monkey is required to provide for its own technologies.
10. Changes to this Notice
We review this Notice when technologies, purposes or suppliers change. We will request a fresh choice where a new or materially changed optional purpose is not covered by an earlier choice.
