Cookie Policy

Our websites (our "websites") are operated by JD Sports Fashion plc and its group companies (together "we", "us", "our", the "JD Group"). The websites use cookies to distinguish you from other users and this helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our websites and also to improve our websites.

Cookies help us to provide you with a better customer experience when you browse our websites and allow us to improve and tailor the websites for you. We will ask for your permission to place cookies on your device, except where they are strictly necessary to provide you with a service you have requested (e.g. to ensure we can process and fulfil your orders), or in order for our websites to work properly. For example, where you give permission for optional cookies, we keep track of the domains from which people visit and we also measure visitor activity on the websites. We use the information that we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different areas of our websites to improve website functionality.

If you wish to remove cookies placed on your device by our websites or stop our websites placing further cookies on your device, you can do this at any time. Learn how to do this below, in the “Managing Cookies” section.

• What is a cookie?

  • A cookie is a small text file which is downloaded and stored on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. Where cookie technology is not available, an anonymous identifier may be used. An anonymous identifier is a random string of characters used for the same purposes as a cookie. When we refer to “cookies” in this policy (or our Privacy Policy) we are referring to both cookies and similar technologies.

    Your browser accesses the cookie file only when you visit the website that generated it. This helps to ease your navigation by automatically logging you in and remembering things like your preferences and what’s in your shopping basket. Cookies allow websites like ours to deliver you a personalised shopping experience.

    The information stored within any given cookie can only be accessed by the website that created it and cookies are limited to communicating only the information that you have disclosed to the website.

• Managing cookies: Enabling and Disabling

  • We will ask for your permission to place cookies on your device, except where they are strictly necessary for us to provide you with a service that you have requested or in order for our websites to work properly. You can provide your consent to the use of non-necessary cookies by clicking the “Accept All Cookies” button on our cookies information notice or by accessing the privacy preference centre on the website. The privacy preference centre should be accessible in the cookies information notice that appears on the website when you visit our site for the first time. It can also be accessed by clicking the “Cookies Settings” option at the bottom of the website at any time.

    Within our privacy preference centre you can signify your consent to certain categories of non-necessary cookies by ticking the box on the right-hand-side of each category and clicking the “Confirm My Choices” button. You can withdraw any consent at any time to the use of cookies through the same functionality (i.e. clicking on the ticked box, which will then un-tick the box) and clicking the “Confirm My Choices” button. It may be necessary to refresh the website page for the updated settings to take effect.

    You can also set your browser to delete cookies, to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you delete, disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

    If cookies aren't enabled on your computer, it will mean that your shopping experience on our website will be limited to browsing and researching; you won't be able to add products to your basket or buy them. To enable and manage cookies, you can use your browser to do this. Each browser is different, so check the 'Help' menu of your particular browser (or your mobile phone's handset manual) to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

• We use the following types of cookie
  • • Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function or to provide a service you have requested and cannot be switched off in our systems. We do not require your consent to set these cookies. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
    • Functional cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
    • Performance cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our website, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
    • Tracking cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our third party advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
