This policy explains cookies and similar device technologies in connection with smachno.co.uk.
1 What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and device identifiers. They can support functions such as a basket, checkout, security, preferences or measuring website use.
2 Necessary technologies
Technologies strictly necessary to provide a service you request may operate without cookie consent where the legal exemption applies. Depending on the feature you use, these can include keeping a basket, maintaining a requested login session and remembering privacy choices.
You can block or delete them in your browser, but requested functions may then stop working.
3 Optional technologies
Where optional preference, analytics, advertising or embedded-media technologies are used, their purpose and relevant providers should be explained in the website’s consent information before activation.
Our consent-based approach is to keep optional technologies off until you select them. Rejecting optional technologies does not prevent an ordinary purchase.
This policy does not imply that a particular analytics or advertising service is installed. The actual technologies depend on the services enabled on the website.
4 Making and changing choices
Where optional technologies are offered, use the consent controls to accept them, reject them or choose individual categories. Consent is not inferred merely because you continue browsing.
You can withdraw or change your optional choices using the cookie settings control made available on the website. Withdrawal stops future optional storage or access covered by that choice.
You can also remove existing cookies or block future cookies using your browser’s privacy settings. Deleting stored choices may cause the website to request a new choice.
5 Providers and durations
Cookies can be session-based, ending when the browser session closes, or persistent, remaining for a defined period or until deleted. Providers can be the website operator or a third-party service used for a requested feature.
Specific names, purposes, providers and durations should be available in the cookie information accompanying enabled technologies. This general explanation is not an inventory of installed cookies.
The Privacy Policy explains associated personal information processing and your rights.
