What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.

Cookies allow websites to recognise a device and store certain information about a visitor’s interaction with the website.

Cookies can perform many different functions, including:

  • keeping items in a shopping basket;

  • remembering preferences;

  • maintaining secure sessions;

  • helping websites function correctly;

  • measuring website performance; and

  • helping website owners understand how visitors use their websites.

Cookies cannot normally access other information stored on your device.

Types of Cookies

Cookies can be categorised according to their purpose and how long they remain on your device.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary.

They normally remain on your device only while your browser is open and are deleted when the browser is closed.

They may be used for functions such as maintaining a shopping basket or user session.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

They can be used to remember preferences between visits.

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by the Website.

They may be required to operate functions such as WooCommerce shopping baskets, customer accounts and Website preferences.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by external services used by the Website.

For example, where consent has been given, analytics services may place or access cookies to help measure Website usage.

How We Use Cookies

The Website may use cookies for several purposes.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function correctly.

They may be used for:

  • shopping basket functionality;

  • checkout processes;

  • secure Website operation;

  • fraud prevention;

  • customer login sessions;

  • remembering privacy choices; and

  • maintaining Website security.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide functions requested by the visitor or to operate the Website securely, consent may not be required for their use where permitted by law.

Disabling necessary cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the Website from functioning correctly.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may allow the Website to remember choices or preferences.

These could include:

  • user preferences;

  • account settings; or

  • other optional Website functionality.

Where consent is legally required for a functional cookie, it will not be activated until appropriate consent has been obtained.

Analytics Cookies

We intend to use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Website.

Analytics information may help us understand:

  • which pages are visited;

  • how visitors navigate through the Website;

  • approximately how long visitors spend on pages;

  • how visitors arrive at the Website;

  • whether Website errors occur; and

  • how the Website can be improved.

Where consent is required, Google Analytics will not be activated until the visitor has provided the appropriate consent through our cookie-management system.

Marketing Cookies

At launch, we do not intend to use advertising or marketing cookies unless specifically identified through our cookie-consent system.

If marketing technologies are introduced in the future, this Cookie Policy and our consent mechanism will be reviewed and updated where necessary.

Marketing cookies will not be activated before consent where consent is required by law.

WooCommerce Cookies

The Website uses WooCommerce to provide its online shopping functionality.

WooCommerce may use cookies or similar technologies to perform essential functions such as:

  • remembering the contents of your shopping basket;

  • determining when basket contents change;

  • supporting checkout;

  • maintaining customer sessions; and

  • providing account functionality.

Some WooCommerce cookies are necessary for the e-commerce functions requested by customers and may therefore operate without optional cookie consent where permitted by law.

Google Analytics

We intend to use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the Website and to improve its performance and content.

Depending on the configuration used at launch, Google Analytics may process information such as:

  • pages visited;

  • approximate geographic information;

  • device and browser information;

  • referral source;

  • interaction data; and

  • technical information relating to Website use.

We will configure our cookie-management system so that Google Analytics cookies requiring consent are not set before the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Google operates its services subject to its own privacy and data-processing arrangements.

Further information about our processing of personal information is available in our Privacy Policy.

Complianz Cookie Consent

The Website uses Complianz | GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent to manage cookie preferences.

Complianz helps us:

  • identify cookies and technologies used by the Website;

  • categorise cookies;

  • obtain consent where required;

  • record cookie preferences; and

  • allow visitors to change or withdraw their preferences.

Cookie Consent

When you first visit the Website, you may be presented with a cookie-consent banner.

Where applicable, this will allow you to:

  • accept optional cookies;

  • reject optional cookies; or

  • manage individual cookie preferences.

Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent where permitted by law because they are required for the Website or a service specifically requested by you to function.

Optional cookies requiring consent should remain disabled until that consent has been provided.

Withdrawing or Changing Consent

You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time using the cookie-preference controls available on the Website.

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

After withdrawing consent, relevant optional cookies should no longer be placed. Existing cookies may remain on your device until they expire or are deleted, depending on the technology involved.

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

  • view stored cookies;

  • delete individual cookies;

  • delete all cookies;

  • block certain cookies;

  • block all cookies;

  • prevent third-party cookies; or

  • receive notifications when cookies are being set.

Please be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Website, shopping basket, checkout or customer-account functions from operating correctly.

Instructions vary between browsers, so please refer to the help or privacy section of your browser for current guidance.

Third-Party Services

Some services used by the Website may be supplied by third parties.

Depending on the final Website configuration, these may include:

  • Google Analytics;

  • Blink Payment;

  • hosting and security providers; and

  • other technical services required to operate the Website.

Third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie practices.

Where third-party cookies require consent, we will take reasonable steps to prevent them from being activated before appropriate consent has been obtained.

Payment Processing

Payments through the Website are expected to be processed using Blink Payment.

Payment services may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:

  • transaction security;

  • fraud prevention;

  • authentication; and

  • payment processing.

Cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a payment service requested by the customer may not require consent.

Any optional technologies used by the payment provider will be handled in accordance with applicable cookie and privacy requirements.

Similar Technologies

In addition to conventional cookies, the Website or its service providers may use similar technologies where necessary.

These could include:

  • local storage;

  • session storage;

  • pixels;

  • tags; or

  • other browser-based technologies.

Where these technologies store information on, or access information from, a user’s device, we will apply the relevant consent requirements in the same way as for cookies.

Personal Information and Cookies

Some information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal data.

Where personal data is processed, it will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation.

Our Privacy Policy provides further information about:

  • what personal information we collect;

  • why we process it;

  • our lawful bases for processing;

  • how long information is retained;

  • who information may be shared with; and

  • your data-protection rights.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:

  • changes to the Website;

  • changes to the cookies we use;

  • new services or plugins;

  • changes to our business operations; or

  • changes in legal or regulatory requirements.

Where material changes are made, we will update the version number, Effective Date or Last Reviewed date as appropriate.

The latest version will always be available on the Website.
