This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on paramountplates.co.uk, what each one does, and how to change your choice. Our Privacy Policy explains how we use personal information more generally.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files that a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies work the same way: browser storage (local storage and session storage) and pixels, which are small pieces of code that send information to a service such as Google or Meta. On this page, "cookies" covers all of them.
How we ask for your consent
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept cookies. You can choose Accept, Decline or Manage preferences to pick categories one by one.
Strictly necessary cookies are always on, because the shop cannot work without them (for example your basket, checkout and security).
Preferences, analytics and marketing cookies are only used if you accept them. If you decline, or don't choose, they stay off.
Your choice is saved in your browser, so we don't ask on every visit. If you clear your cookies or use a different browser, we will ask again.

Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by other companies whose services we use. They are responsible for their own cookies, and their policies explain how they use the information:
Shopify (our shop platform, checkout and Shop Pay)
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the shop such as the basket and checkout will stop working. Your browser's help pages explain how: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge.
How we keep this list up to date
We scan the shop every week, as a first-time visitor who accepts, declines or makes no choice. The scan records every cookie and every third-party service the site uses. When something new appears, for example after we add an app, we identify it, add it to this list and check it stays off until you consent.
