What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the website to work at all; others record how the site is used. This policy explains which cookies the Bathurst & Co website uses and how you can control them.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies make the shop work. They keep track of what is in your basket as you move between pages, carry your order through the checkout, keep you signed in if you have an account, and protect forms and payments against misuse. They also record your cookie choices, so you are not asked again on every page.
Because the website cannot work without them, these cookies do not need your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, though we still list them here so you know what they do. Most are deleted when you close your browser or shortly after your order is complete. [CHECK: names and lifetimes of essential cookies in use]
When you pay, you may be taken to pages run by our payment processor, which sets its own cookies to process and secure the payment. Those cookies are covered by the processor’s own policy.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies tell us how people use the website: which pages are visited, how visitors arrive, and where they leave. We use this to see which parts of the site are useful, such as whether people find the delivery information or the care guide they are looking for. The information is collected in a form that does not identify you by name.
Analytics cookies are only set if you agree to them through the cookie banner. If you decline, or ignore the banner, they are not set. [CHECK: analytics tool and cookie names in use]
We do not use advertising cookies on this website. [CHECK: confirm no advertising or remarketing cookies are in use]
Managing your cookie choices
You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link at the foot of each page. [CHECK: wording and location of the cookie settings link] You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; each browser explains how in its help pages. Deleting cookies clears your basket and signs you out of your account. If you block essential cookies, the basket and checkout will not work.
For more on how we handle personal data, see our privacy policy. Questions about cookies can go to hello@bathurstandco.co.uk or through the contact page.
