This Cookie Policy explains how SlotBookings.com ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on slotbookings.com (and subdomains such as app.slotbookings.com). Read this alongside our Privacy Policy. We follow the UK GDPR and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They enable core functionality (e.g., login), remember your preferences, and help us understand performance. Related technologies include local storage, pixels, SDKs, and device identifiers.

2) How we use cookies

• Strictly Necessary – essential for security, authentication, fraud prevention, and basic features (cannot be switched off).
• Preferences – remember choices such as language, region, and cookie consent settings.
• Analytics – measure usage and performance to improve the service (set only with your consent, unless configured without tracking personal data).
• Marketing – personalise content/ads and measure campaigns (set only with your consent).

3) Lawful basis & consent

Our lawful basis for strictly necessary cookies is legitimate interests (delivering a secure, functioning service). For analytics and marketing cookies we rely on your consent via our banner or preferences centre. You can withdraw consent at any time using the buttons above.

4) Managing cookies

• Use the cookie preferences panel to enable/disable categories (except strictly necessary).
• Browser controls allow you to block or delete cookies; doing so may degrade features like login and checkout.
• Do Not Track (DNT): We do not currently respond to DNT signals due to the lack of a common industry standard.
