Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 11, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Gothermyx ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit bepooke.club (the "Site"). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
By continuing to use the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. For questions, contact us at contact@bepooke.club.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their sites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website operator are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through a website, such as analytics, interactive content, and advertising.
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. "Session cookies" exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close it. "Persistent cookies" survive after your browser is closed and can be used to recognise your device when you return to the Site.
2. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Site.
2.1 Web Beacons
Web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails. They allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened, and to note the IP address and browser type of the device accessing the content.
2.2 Local Storage
Local storage technologies, including HTML5 local storage and IndexedDB, allow websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, this data is not automatically sent to the server with each request, but it serves a similar purpose in remembering your preferences and activity.
2.3 Session Storage
Session storage operates similarly to local storage but only retains data for the duration of your browser session. This data is cleared when you close the browser tab or window.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
The cookies used on the Site fall into the following categories.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site, for example which pages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages from those pages. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous. It is only used to improve how the Site works.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customise.
3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

3.5 Social Media Cookies
These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we may have added to the Site to enable you to share our content with your networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building a profile of your interests, which may affect content and messaging on other websites you visit.
