3. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small pieces of information that websites may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.

Cookies can allow a website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit.

They may be used for purposes such as keeping products in your shopping basket, remembering preferences, maintaining website security, operating checkout functionality, understanding how visitors use the website and, where permitted, supporting advertising or personalised services.

Some cookies last only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close your browser. These are commonly referred to as session cookies.

Other cookies may remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them. These are commonly referred to as persistent cookies.

4. SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

This policy uses the term “cookies” for convenience, but our website may also use other technologies that store information on or access information from your device.

These may include technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and similar technologies.

The same or similar privacy rules may apply to these technologies depending on how they are used.

5. WHY WE USE COOKIES

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and protect our online store, provide functionality requested by customers, remember appropriate preferences, understand website performance and, where permitted, support analytics, marketing and advertising activities.

The precise cookies used may change over time as Shopify, our website configuration and the services we use are updated.

We periodically review the technologies used on our website and this policy may be updated where necessary.

6. STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES

Some cookies and similar technologies are necessary for our website and ecommerce services to function correctly.

These technologies may be used to operate important features such as the shopping basket, checkout, payment process, customer authentication, security, fraud prevention, network management and other services you specifically request.

For example, a cookie may be required to remember products that you have added to your shopping basket while you continue browsing.

Where a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary to provide a service requested by you, we may use it without obtaining consent where permitted by applicable law.

Strictly necessary technologies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie-preference controls because doing so may prevent parts of the website or checkout from functioning correctly.

7. FUNCTIONAL AND PREFERENCE TECHNOLOGIES

Some technologies may be used to remember choices you make or to adapt how our website appears or functions based on your preferences.

For example, these technologies may help remember appropriate language, regional, display or website functionality preferences.

Where the law permits us to use a technology under an applicable functionality or appearance exception, we will comply with the conditions that apply to that exception, including providing appropriate information and an appropriate way to object where required.

Where an exception does not apply, we will obtain consent before using the relevant technology where required.

8. ANALYTICS AND PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGIES

We may use analytics or performance technologies to understand how customers use our website and to help us improve its operation.

This may include understanding information such as how visitors navigate the website, which pages are used, whether technical errors occur and how the website performs.

Where an applicable statistical-purpose exception permits us to use a technology without prior consent, we will only rely on that exception where the applicable legal requirements are satisfied.

This may include limiting the technology to statistical purposes aimed at improving our website or service, appropriately limiting the use and retention of individual-level information and providing an appropriate means to object where required.

Where the applicable conditions for an exception are not satisfied, we will obtain consent before using the relevant analytics technology.

9. ADVERTISING AND MARKETING TECHNOLOGIES

Our website may use advertising or marketing technologies where these services have been enabled.

These technologies may be used to measure advertising performance, understand the effectiveness of marketing campaigns or provide advertising based on interactions with our website.

Advertising or behavioural-tracking technologies that do not qualify for an applicable legal exception will not be activated for visitors who require consent until the appropriate consent has been obtained.

You can manage applicable marketing and advertising preferences through the cookie controls provided on our website.

If we introduce or use third-party advertising platforms, we will review our cookie information and consent arrangements as required.

10. SHOPIFY COOKIES AND TECHNOLOGIES

Our ecommerce store is powered by Shopify.

Shopify may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with the operation of our storefront and services, including for functionality such as:

shopping and checkout;

website and account security;

customer authentication;

payment and transaction functionality;

fraud detection;

website performance;

analytics; and

other Shopify services that we have enabled.

The precise Shopify technologies used may depend on the services and features enabled on our store.

Shopify maintains its own information regarding the cookies and other technologies it uses across Shopify-powered merchant storefronts.

Where Shopify processes personal information for its own purposes, Shopify's own privacy documentation may also apply.

11. THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES

Some features or services on our website may be provided by third parties.

Where a third-party service stores information on or accesses information from your device, the relevant third party may place or operate its own cookies or similar technologies.

Where required, we will provide information about relevant third parties through our cookie-preference tools, this policy, our Privacy Policy or another appropriate notice.

Non-exempt third-party tracking technologies will only be activated after appropriate consent where consent is legally required.

We periodically review third-party apps and integrations used by our Shopify store.

12. COOKIE CONSENT AND YOUR CHOICES

When you visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie banner or privacy-preference interface.

Depending on the technologies being used and the legal rules applicable to them, you may be able to accept, reject or manage different categories of cookies and similar technologies.

Where consent is required, we will seek to ensure that you can make an appropriate choice before the relevant non-exempt technologies are activated.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent you from using the basic shopping functionality of our website, although certain optional features may be affected.

Your choice regarding optional cookies does not prevent us from using strictly necessary technologies required to provide services you request.

13. CHANGING OR WITHDRAWING YOUR COOKIE PREFERENCES

Where our website provides a cookie-preference tool, you can use it to review or change your choices.

You may withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Where we rely on an exception that requires us to provide a simple means of objecting, we will provide an appropriate mechanism for exercising that choice.

You may also be able to remove existing cookies using your browser settings.

14. BROWSER COOKIE CONTROLS

Most internet browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through the browser's settings.

The method used to control cookies varies between browsers and devices.

If you block all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, certain parts of our website may not operate correctly. For example, your shopping basket, customer account or checkout functionality may be affected.

Browser controls may also not automatically prevent all forms of similar technology, so you should use our website's privacy controls where available.

15. COOKIE DURATION

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose and configuration.

Session cookies generally expire when your browser session ends.

Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a specified period unless you remove them sooner.

The duration of cookies used by third-party services may be determined by the relevant third party.

We aim to retain information collected through cookies and similar technologies only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose and in accordance with applicable law.

16. PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH COOKIES

Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the collection or processing of personal information.

Depending on the technology, this may include information such as your IP address, device identifiers, browser information, website activity, approximate location derived from technical information and interactions with products or pages.

Where information collected using cookies identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you, our Privacy Policy also applies.

Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information is used, shared, retained and protected and describes the rights available to you.

17. INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING

Shopify and other technology providers used by our store may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information collected through cookies or similar technologies is transferred internationally, applicable safeguards will be used where required by data protection law.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information regarding international transfers of personal information.

18. UPDATES TO OUR COOKIE TECHNOLOGIES

The technologies used by our website may change from time to time.

For example, we may:

introduce or remove Shopify features;

install or remove website applications;

change analytics services;

change marketing services; or

update website functionality.

Where these changes affect the information customers should receive or require new consent, we will update our privacy arrangements as appropriate.

19. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technology, business practices, applicable laws or regulatory guidance.

When we update this policy, we will publish the revised version on our website and update the Last Updated date shown at the top of the page.

Where required, we may also request new cookie choices or consent following a material change to the technologies we use.
