Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website.

Cookies can help websites function correctly, remember visitor choices, maintain shopping baskets, protect checkout security and understand how website features are used.

Similar technologies, including pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and device identifiers, may perform related functions. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to include these technologies where appropriate.

2. Why We Use Cookies

Cookies may be used on our website to:

• Keep the website secure and operating correctly.
• Remember products added to your shopping basket.
• Operate checkout and payment features.
• Remember customer choices and preferences.
• Help prevent fraud, misuse and unauthorised activity.
• Understand how visitors use the website.
• Support advertising or campaign measurement where the relevant tools are installed and permitted.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support functions that are required for the website and online shop to operate.

They may be used to:

• Maintain website and checkout security.
• Remember the contents of your shopping basket.
• Process checkout requests and transactions.
• Keep you signed in to a customer account, where available.
• Remember privacy and cookie choices.
• Detect fraud, misuse or suspicious website activity.

Where an applicable legal exception permits it, strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent because the relevant website or checkout service cannot operate properly without them.

4. Functional and Preference Cookies

Functional cookies help the website remember choices you make and provide features that are more convenient or personalised.

Depending on the website configuration, these cookies may remember:

• Language or regional preferences.
• Display and accessibility preferences.
• Previously selected website options.
• Other choices intended to improve your browsing experience.

Where consent is required, these cookies will only be used in accordance with the choice you make through our cookie controls.

5. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website, such as which pages are visited, how visitors move between pages and whether technical errors occur.

Our store may use analytics functionality provided through Shopify. Additional analytics services will only be used where they are installed and configured on the website.

Where applicable law requires consent for analytics cookies, they will only operate after the required choice has been made through the cookie banner or preference tool.

6. Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising and marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising campaigns, understand whether an advert resulted in a website visit or purchase and show advertising that may be more relevant.

These cookies are only used where relevant advertising or marketing tools are installed on our store.

Where consent is required, advertising and marketing cookies will not operate until the required choice has been made through our cookie controls.

We may update this policy when advertising services or website integrations change.

7. Shopify Cookies

Our online store is hosted and operated using Shopify.

Shopify may use cookies and similar technologies to provide website hosting, shopping-basket functionality, checkout, security, customer accounts, fraud prevention, analytics and other ecommerce features.

Some Shopify technologies may be strictly necessary, while others may depend on our store settings, installed services, visitor location and privacy choices.

Information about Shopify’s privacy practices is available through Shopify’s own privacy information and documentation.

8. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be placed or accessed by third-party services that help operate our online store.

Depending on the services enabled, these may include:

• Shopify and related ecommerce services.
• Payment and checkout providers.
• Fraud-prevention and security services.
• Analytics providers.
• Advertising or marketing providers where installed.

Third-party providers are responsible for their own technologies and privacy practices. Their use of information may also be explained in their respective privacy and cookie notices.

9. Cookie Consent and Preferences

Where consent or another visitor choice is required for non-essential cookies, we use a cookie banner or preference tool to request and record that choice.

You can accept, reject or adjust the available cookie categories using the options presented through the cookie controls.

You may change or withdraw a previous cookie choice using the privacy or cookie-preference controls available on the website.

Changing or withdrawing a choice does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the change.

10. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to review, block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• View cookies stored on your device.
• Delete selected cookies.
• Delete all stored cookies.
• Block cookies from selected websites.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Delete cookies when the browser is closed.

Browser controls are separate from our website cookie controls. Changes may need to be made separately on each browser and device you use.

Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the website, including the shopping basket and checkout, from working properly.

11. How Long Cookies Remain

Some cookies last only for the duration of a browsing session and are removed when the browser is closed. Other cookies may remain for a defined period or until they are deleted.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose, the service that provides it, our store settings and your browser or privacy choices.

12. Personal Information

Some cookies and similar technologies may collect or generate information connected with a device, browser or website visitor.

More information about how Begleys Gifts collects, uses, shares and protects personal information is available in our Privacy Policy .
