What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and enable certain features to work correctly.
How We Use Cookies
cheapmattresses.co.uk uses cookies for three purposes: essential site functionality, anonymous usage analytics, and affiliate click tracking. We do not use cookies for advertising or behavioural profiling.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
XSRF-TOKEN | CSRF protection — prevents cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
cheapmattresses_session | Session identifier — maintains your browsing session | 2 hours |
cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preferences so we do not ask again | 12 months |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymised data about how visitors use the site — which pages are visited most, how long people spend on each page, and where visitors arrive from. This helps us improve the site.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics session | First-party | Page views, session duration, referrer | Session |
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click through to a retailer from our site, our affiliate network partners set cookies on the retailer's domain (not on cheapmattresses.co.uk) to record that the referral came from us. If you make a purchase, the retailer reports the sale and we earn a commission.
These cookies are set by third parties and are governed by their own cookie policies. We have no control over their content or duration. The main affiliate networks we work with are:
| Network | Cookie Domain | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Awin | awin1.com | Affiliate referral tracking | 30 days |
| Tradedoubler | tradedoubler.com | Affiliate referral tracking | 30 days |
| Webgains | webgains.com | Affiliate referral tracking | 30 days |
These cookies do not track your browsing activity across other sites. They only record that you arrived at a specific retailer via cheapmattresses.co.uk.
Managing Your Cookies
All modern browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies. The exact steps vary by browser:
- Chrome — Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Other Site Data
- Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge — Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions > Cookies and Site Data
Blocking all cookies may prevent some features of the site from working correctly. Blocking third-party cookies will prevent affiliate tracking cookies from being set, but will not affect your browsing experience on our site.
Updates To This Policy
We may update this policy when we add new features or change our analytics tools. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. For questions about our use of cookies, please use our contact form.
