Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Mr Shaw's House Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle any personal data those cookies generate.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (such as the items in your shopping bag) over time, keep your session secure, and help us understand how the site is used. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels work in much the same way, and we refer to them all as "cookies" in this policy.

Cookies may be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. They may be set by us ("first-party") or by a third party providing a service on our pages ("third-party").

The cookie categories we use

Strictly necessary

These cookies are essential for the site to function and to keep it secure. They are always on and do not require your consent, because the site cannot work properly without them. They include:

• A session cookie that maintains your browsing session and links your activity across pages during a visit.
• A shopping bag (cart) cookie that remembers the items you have added so they are still there at checkout.
• A security (CSRF) token that protects forms and payments against cross-site request forgery.
• A cookie that records your cookie-consent choice itself, so we do not have to ask you on every page.

Analytics & performance

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are most popular) so we can improve it. They collect information in an aggregated way and are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner. They include:

• Analytics cookies that count visits, measure traffic sources and track how pages perform.

Functional

These cookies remember choices you make to give you a more personalised experience. They are only set with your consent (unless they are strictly necessary to deliver something you have asked for). They include:

• Cookies that remember preferences such as display or interface settings.

Marketing

If used, these cookies help us measure and tailor marketing and may be set by us or by advertising partners. They are only ever set with your consent. They include:

• Cookies used to measure the effectiveness of marketing or to show relevant content. We do not set these unless you opt in.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties who provide services on our pages. These include:

• Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe) — set during card checkout to process your payment securely and to help prevent fraud. We do not store your full card number.
• Analytics providers — where you have consented to analytics, the provider may set cookies as described above.

Third-party cookies are governed by the relevant third party's own cookie and privacy policies.

Consent & PECR

We use cookies in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR. When you first visit the site, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies are always on and do not need your consent.
• Analytics, functional and marketing cookies are only set if you opt in. We do not set them before you make a choice, and rejecting them will not stop the essential parts of the site from working.

Your consent choice is recorded so we can respect it on future visits, and you can change it at any time.

How to manage or withdraw consent

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by re-opening the cookie banner from our website and updating your preferences. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings, which let you block or remove cookies that are already stored.

Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site — in particular, your shopping bag and checkout may stop working, and you may not be able to complete a purchase.

How we use the resulting data

Where cookies collect personal data, we handle it as set out in our Privacy Policy, including the lawful bases we rely on and your rights under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, operational or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
