2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device.

  • understand how visitors use a website; or

  • support relevant advertising.

Cookies may be placed directly by us or Shopify. These are generally described as first-party cookies.

Cookies placed by another organisation, such as an analytics, payment, advertising or social-media provider, are generally described as third-party cookies.

  • pixels;

  • tags;

  • scripts;

  • software development kits;

  • local storage;

  • browser storage;

These normally operate only while your browser session remains open and are deleted when you close the browser.

Persistent cookies

Depending on your location and the technologies in use, you may be able to:

  • accept all optional cookies;

  • reject all optional cookies;

  • choose individual cookie categories; or

  • continue using only strictly necessary technologies.

Strictly necessary cookies will remain active because they are needed to provide the website, secure checkout and other services you request.

You may need to make your selection again if you:

  • use another device;

  • use another browser;

  • clear browser storage;

  • use a private browsing session; or

  • delete the cookie recording your preferences.

10. Changing or Withdrawing Consent

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the Cookie Preferences control available on our website.

The Cookie Preferences link is available in the website footer.

Withdrawing consent will not make any previous use of cookies unlawful.

It may not remove information that has already been collected, although future optional tracking should stop after your updated choice is processed.

11. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to:

  • view stored cookies;

  • delete cookies;

  • block cookies from particular websites;

  • block third-party cookies;

  • block all cookies; or

  • receive a warning before cookies are stored.

The steps differ between browsers and devices. Refer to the privacy or cookie settings provided by your browser.

Blocking all cookies may prevent you from:

  • adding products to your basket;

  • remaining signed in;

  • progressing through checkout;

  • saving preferences; or

  • using other parts of the website.

12. Global Privacy Control and Similar Signals

Some browsers or browser extensions send privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

Where applicable and technically supported, Shopify or our other providers may interpret these signals in accordance with relevant privacy laws.

The effect of a signal may depend on:

  • the visitor’s location;

  • the browser;

  • Shopify’s settings;

  • the technology provider; and

  • applicable legal requirements.

13. International Data Processing

Some cookie and technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

This may include processing in countries where:

  • Shopify operates;

  • analytics or advertising providers operate;

  • cloud systems are hosted; or

  • support and technology teams are located.

Further information about international transfers and the safeguards that may be used is provided in our Privacy Policy.

14. Personal Information Collected Through Cookies

Information collected through cookies may include:

  • IP address;

  • cookie or device identifier;

  • browser information;

  • device information;

  • approximate location;

  • website activity;

  • product views;

  • basket activity;

  • checkout activity;

  • purchase information;

  • advertising interactions; and

Some information may identify you directly or indirectly, particularly when combined with account, order or advertising-platform information.

Our Privacy Policy explains:

  • the lawful bases relied upon;

  • who information may be shared with;

  • how long it is retained;

  • international transfers;

  • your data-protection rights; and

  • how to make a complaint.

15. Retention

Each cookie has its own lifetime.

Some cookies expire when the browser closes. Others may remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier.

Information obtained through analytics or advertising technologies may be retained separately by us or the relevant provider.

Retention periods depend on:

  • the purpose of the technology;

  • the provider’s settings;

  • our configured account settings;

  • security requirements;

  • legal obligations; and

  • whether information has been aggregated or anonymised.

We aim to configure retention periods so that information is not retained longer than reasonably necessary.

16. Third-Party Responsibility

Third-party providers may act as independent controllers of information collected through their cookies, pixels or services.

Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies and settings.

We do not control all aspects of how third-party providers process information after it has been disclosed to them.

You should review the privacy and cookie information made available by the relevant provider.
