Cookie policy
Last Updated: 11th December 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Hotdeals UK ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
3. Specific Types of Cookies We Use
A. Affiliate & Tracking Cookies (Crucial)
As an affiliate marketing website, our business depends on these cookies. When you click a "Get Deal" or "Get Code" link on our site, you are redirected to a merchant's website (e.g., Nike, Amazon, etc.).
At that moment, a tracking cookie is placed on your device by the affiliate network (such as Awin, CJ, or Impact). This cookie does not collect personal data like your name or email. Its sole purpose is to tell the merchant: "This customer came from Hotdeals UK."
- If you make a purchase, we may earn a small commission.
- These cookies typically last for 30 days.
- Without these cookies, we cannot earn revenue to maintain this site and keep it free for you.
B. Essential Website Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
C. Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, allowing us to customise our site for you.
4. How Can I Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. Alternatively, you can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
Please note: If you block tracking cookies, you can still use our site to find deals, but we may not be credited for the sale if you make a purchase.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
