Cookies Policy

When you interact with Decathlon.mt, we try to make that experience simple and meaningful. When you visit Decathlon.mt, our web server sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are small pieces of information which are issued to your computer when you visit a website and which store and sometimes track information about your use of Decathlon.mt.

A number of cookies we use last only for the duration of your web session and expire when you close your browser. Other cookies are used to remember you when you return to Decathlon.mt and will last for longer. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first party cookies") or may be set by other websites who display content on the page you are viewing ("third party cookies").

We use cookies to:

• Remember that you have visited us before; this means we can identify the number of unique visitors we receive. This allows us to make sure we have enough capacity for the number of users that we get;
• Customise elements of the promotional layout and/or content of the pages of Decathlon.mt;
• Collect anonymous statistical information about how you use the Site (including how long you spend on Decathlon.mt) and where you have come to the Site from, so that we can improve Decathlon.mt and learn which parts of Decathlon.mt are most popular with visitors;
• Gather information about the pages on the Site that you visit and also other information about other websites that you visit, so as to place you in a “market segment.” This information is only collected by reference to the IP address that you are using, but does include information about the county and city you are in, together with the name of your internet service provider. This information is then used to place interest-based advertisements on the Site which it is believed will be relevant to your market segment. For more information about this type of interest-based advertising, and about how to turn this feature off, please visit youronlinechoices.com/uk/

You can change your browser settings to prevent cookies from being accepted, or, depending on which browser you are using, you might be able to receive an alert when a website is trying to place one on your browser.

With most browsers, you can allow first-party cookies to be set but refuse third-party cookies. You can delete cookies stored in your browser by using a function in your browser. Whilst this does not mean you won't collect cookies in the future, it gives you the freedom to delete your cookies after you have been online. This function is often known as 'clearing cookies'.
