Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Briture Highland Media Ltd, trading as flingcircle.com (FlingCircle, “we”, “us” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies on the website ukflirtzone.com (“the Website”).

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process your personal data more generally.

By clicking “Accept” on our cookie banner or adjusting your preferences and continuing to use the Website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via your browser settings and/or our cookie preferences tool (where available).

  1. What are cookies?

    Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet or mobile phone (device) when you visit a website. On each subsequent visit, the cookie is sent back to the website that set it, or to another website that recognises it.

    Cookies allow a website to:

    • recognise your device;
    • remember your preferences and choices;
    • understand how the website is being used;
    • provide security features and personalised content.

    We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.

  2. Types of cookies we use

    We use the following main categories of cookies on the Website:

    (a) Strictly necessary cookies
    These cookies are essential for the operation of the Website and for you to be able to use its features. Without them, services you have asked for (such as logging in, maintaining a session or remembering cookie preferences) cannot be provided.

    These cookies are set without your prior consent, but you can still block them in your browser (although the Website may then not function properly).

    Examples of purposes:

    • Keeping you logged in as you navigate across pages;
    • Remembering your cookie settings;
    • Protecting the Website against fraud and abuse (security/CDN cookies).

    (b) Functional cookies
    Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as language, region, or display preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalised features.

    Examples of purposes:

    • Remembering search filters or site preferences during a session;
    • Improving your experience on return visits.

    (c) Analytical / performance cookies
    These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can measure and improve performance. They collect information such as:

    • which pages are visited most often;
    • how long visitors stay on a page;
    • whether visitors receive error messages.

    We use this information in aggregated form to improve the structure, content and performance of the Website.
    Where required by law, we will only place analytical cookies after you have given your consent via the cookie banner.

    (d) Advertising / affiliate cookies
    We may use cookies to:

    • measure the effectiveness of our advertising;
    • understand whether you arrived at the Website via one of our partners or affiliates;
    • ensure that our partners are properly credited for referrals.

    These cookies may track your visit to the Website and other websites. They are only used with your consent and can be managed via the cookie banner and/or your browser settings.
