This Cookie Policy explains how House of Scuba ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on houseofscuba.com (the "Site"), and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners and their partners.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other companies, such as analytics or advertising providers, are called third-party cookies. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.
We also use similar technologies, and this policy covers them too:
- Local storage — data saved in your browser by a website, which stays until it is cleared.
- Third-party services and embedded content — scripts, fonts, images or other content loaded from another company's servers. When your browser loads them, that company receives standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the page you are viewing, and may read or set its own cookies.
How we use cookies
We group cookies into the categories below.
- Strictly Necessary — Required for the Site to work and to record your privacy choices. They cannot be switched off in the preferences panel; you can block them in your browser, but parts of the Site may then not work as intended.
- Functional — Provide Site features and presentation, such as web fonts, embedded content and remembering your preferences.
- Analytics — Help us understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are popular and how people find us) so we can improve it. Information is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.
- Marketing & Advertising — Set by Google AdSense and the advertising partners that bid on ad space through it. Used to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance and, where permitted, personalize ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
Your consent and choices
When you first visit the Site, a cookie banner lets you accept, reject, or customize the optional categories. Strictly Necessary cookies are always on. The choices offered depend on where you are:
- Optional cookies (Functional, Analytics, Marketing & Advertising) are off by default and are set only after you accept them.
- In California and other US states with privacy laws, sharing data with advertising partners through cookies may count as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, and you have the right to opt out of it at any time.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. Changes apply from then on and do not affect processing that took place before.
Advertising and third-party cookies
We use Google AdSense to show ads, which help keep the Site free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website and other websites. Google's advertising cookies let Google and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet. Other advertising companies may also bid on ad space through AdSense and set their own cookies; these are listed under Marketing & Advertising below.
Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies, and we do not control the cookies they set. To learn more and opt out:
- How Google uses information from sites that use its services
- Opt out of personalized advertising from Google in Google Ads Settings
- Opt out of Google Analytics on all websites with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Opt out of many third-party vendors at once via the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance or, in Europe, Your Online Choices
Cookies and technologies used on this Site
The tables below list the cookies, local storage and third-party services found on the Site during our most recent scan (2026-11-10). Advertising partners can change over time, so the exact cookies set during your visit may differ. Retention periods for third-party cookies are set by the provider and may change; "N/A" means the item is a service rather than a stored cookie.
