Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2024

This Cookie Policy explains how Iron Pavilion ("we," "us," or "our"), operating at ironpavilion.com, uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies when you visit our site to read reviews, buying guides, and comparisons of home gym equipment. By using our site, you have the option to accept or decline non-essential storage as described below.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Local storage (specifically, browser localStorage) is a similar technology that allows a website to store small amounts of data directly in your browser, without expiration dates like traditional cookies. We use a combination of both to operate our consent system and, where permitted, to understand how visitors use our site.

How Iron Pavilion Uses Cookies and localStorage

• Consent Preference Storage (localStorage): When you first visit ironpavilion.com, a cookie consent banner appears asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice — accept or decline — is saved in your browser's localStorage. This allows us to remember your preference on future visits so the banner does not reappear unnecessarily. This storage is strictly functional and is not used for tracking or advertising.
• Analytics Cookies (only if accepted): If you click "Accept" on the consent banner, we load analytics tools that place cookies on your device. These cookies help us understand which articles, product reviews, and comparison guides are most useful to visitors, how long people stay on pages, and which pages lead to drop-offs. This data is aggregated and anonymized where possible and helps us improve our content and site performance. If you click "Decline," analytics scripts are not loaded and no analytics cookies are set.
• Essential Site Functionality: Some minimal technical storage may be used to ensure the site displays correctly and loads efficiently, such as remembering display settings. These are not tracking cookies and do not identify you personally.

Third-Party Cookies

When you accept analytics cookies, a third-party analytics provider (such as a standard web analytics service) may place its own cookies on your device to collect usage statistics on our behalf. These third parties process data according to their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review those policies for further detail on how they handle information. Iron Pavilion does not sell your data to third parties, and we do not use cookies for behavioral advertising or retargeting.

How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent

You are in full control of your cookie and localStorage preferences. Since your consent choice is stored locally in your browser rather than on our servers, you can withdraw or change it at any time by doing one of the following:

• Clear your browser storage: Go into your browser's privacy or history settings and clear cookies and site data (specifically localStorage) for ironpavilion.com. This will remove your saved consent choice and cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit, allowing you to make a new selection.
• Use private or incognito browsing: Browsing in a private window will prevent your consent choice and any analytics cookies from persisting after you close the window.
• Adjust browser-level cookie settings: Most modern browsers allow you to block all cookies or third-party cookies by default. Note that blocking essential storage may affect how the consent banner and some site features function.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature. Because there is no common industry standard for how sites should respond to these signals, ironpavilion.com currently relies on the accept/decline choice made through our consent banner rather than automated Do Not Track signals.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
