Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones i8hour.com uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember information about your visit, improve site functionality, and in some cases to track behaviour across sessions. Cookies are set either by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded on the page.

What we use cookies for

Essential cookies (always active)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be turned off. They do not collect personal information or track you across other sites. On i8hour, essential cookies include:

  • Cookie consent preference — stores whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies. This is stored in localStorage under the key i8hour_cookie and is not transmitted to any server.

Analytics cookies (optional)

If you accept non-essential cookies, we may load a privacy-respecting analytics tool to understand how visitors use this site. This may include:

  • Pages viewed and time spent on each page
  • Approximate geographic location (country level only)
  • Device and browser type
  • Referring website (how you arrived at i8hour)

We do not use Google Analytics or Meta Pixel. Any analytics service used does not build individual user profiles, does not track you across other websites, and does not share data with advertising networks.

What we do not use

i8hour does not use:

  • Advertising or retargeting cookies of any kind
  • Social media tracking pixels (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, TikTok, etc.)
  • Cross-site tracking technologies
  • Cookies that fingerprint your device or browser

Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit i8hour, a banner appears at the bottom of the screen giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved locally and the banner will not appear again during that browser session.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies entirely. Instructions 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

Note that blocking all cookies may affect the basic functionality of some websites.

Third-party image services

Photographs on this site are served from Pexels, Pixabay, and Unsplash. When your browser loads an image from these services, a direct connection to their servers is made. These services may set their own cookies or process your IP address according to their own privacy policies, independent of our cookie consent mechanism.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we change the cookies or services we use. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
