Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies webpunkz.com uses, and how you can control them. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described here — except for non-essential cookies, which require your explicit consent.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have previously visited — and help us improve your experience.
Cookies are not harmful and do not contain personal information such as your name or payment details. Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies), and others are set by third-party services operating on that site.

Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as security, session management, and your cookie preference settings. These cookies cannot be disabled without significantly affecting how the site operates. No consent is required for essential cookies under UK PECR.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify you personally. It helps us understand which pages are most useful, where traffic comes from, and how we can improve the site.
Analytics cookies are only set if you have consented to them. You can withdraw consent at any time using the cookie preferences tool or by following the steps in "How to Control Cookies" below.
Marketing Cookies
Where we run advertising campaigns on Meta (Facebook and Instagram), the Meta Pixel may set cookies on your device to measure campaign performance and, where applicable, to show relevant ads to people who have previously visited our website.
Marketing cookies are only set if you have consented. You can manage Meta's use of your data through your Facebook Ad Preferences.
