of cookies.
This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit our online shop, browse products, use your shopping basket or complete a purchase.
PURE CONTRACTS LIMITED uses cookies and similar technologies to support the operation of its website and online retail services. Some technologies are necessary for essential website functions, while others may help us understand website activity or remember preferences. This policy explains the different purposes and how you can manage your choices.
01 About this policy
This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by PURE CONTRACTS LIMITED and explains how cookies and similar technologies may be placed on or accessed through your device when you visit our online shop.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store and share personal information.
We use cookies in accordance with applicable UK privacy and electronic communications requirements, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and relevant data protection legislation.
02 What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your computer, mobile phone or other device when you visit a page. They allow the website to recognise a device or remember certain information between visits or page requests.
Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, tracking pixels and other tools that store or access information on your device.
These technologies may support website functions such as maintaining a shopping basket, remembering preferences, keeping an account session active or understanding how visitors interact with website pages.
03 How we use cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to support the following activities:
- Keeping essential website functions available.
- Maintaining shopping basket and checkout functionality.
- Supporting customer account sessions and login functions.
- Remembering relevant website preferences.
- Recording cookie consent choices where a consent tool is used.
- Understanding website performance and visitor activity where permitted.
- Supporting website security and detecting technical issues.
The specific cookies used may change when website features, ecommerce extensions or technical service providers are added, removed or updated.
04 Categories of cookies
Cookies can be grouped according to their purpose. The categories below explain how different types of technology may relate to our online shop.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required to provide a service you have requested or to enable essential website functions. They may support security, shopping basket operations, checkout sessions, account access and the correct operation of the website.
These technologies do not require consent where they meet the legal exemption for strictly necessary storage or access. They cannot generally be disabled through the website’s optional cookie preferences without affecting essential functionality.
Preference cookies
These cookies may remember choices such as language, display preferences or other settings so that the website can provide a more consistent experience. Where consent is required, they will only be used after you have given the relevant permission.
Analytics and performance cookies
These technologies may help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are viewed and whether technical problems occur. The information can help us assess website performance and improve navigation.
Where these technologies are not strictly necessary, they will only be activated after the required consent has been obtained.
Marketing and advertising cookies
These technologies may be used to measure advertising activity or support relevant promotional content. They are not necessary for ordinary shopping basket or checkout functions and will only be used where applicable and after the required consent has been obtained.
05 Shopping, basket and checkout cookies
Our website provides online retail functions. Certain cookies or similar technologies may therefore be needed to support the purchasing process.
Depending on the ecommerce configuration, these technologies may help to:
- Remember products added to your shopping basket.
- Maintain basket information as you move between pages.
- Support checkout sessions and order completion.
- Maintain relevant customer account sessions.
- Help protect forms and website transactions.
- Remember information needed for the operation of the online shop.
If essential cookies are blocked or deleted, some functions may not operate correctly. For example, products may not remain in your basket or you may need to sign in again.
06 Third-party cookies and services
Some website functions may be supported by external service providers. Depending on the services actually installed and enabled, these providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Potential service categories include:
- Payment providers: to support payment processing, transaction security and checkout functions.
- Website hosting and security providers: to maintain website availability, protect against misuse and support technical performance.
- Analytics providers: to measure website usage and performance, where enabled and consented to where required.
- Embedded content providers: where third-party content or external features are included on a website page.
Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing the relevant provider information where you interact with an external service.
We do not assume that every third-party service listed above is active. The actual providers and cookies must correspond to the services currently used on the website.
07 How long cookies remain
Cookies may be temporary or persistent, depending on their purpose and configuration.
Session cookies
Session cookies are generally stored temporarily and are removed when you close your browser or when the relevant browsing session ends.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. Their duration depends on the purpose and settings of the relevant cookie.
| Cookie type | Typical duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session | Until the browsing session ends | Temporary website and checkout functions |
| Preference | Until expiry or deletion | Remembering selected preferences |
| Consent record | According to the consent tool configuration | Remembering cookie choices |
| Analytics | According to the provider’s settings | Measuring website activity where enabled |
The table provides general descriptions rather than a complete cookie inventory. Actual cookie names and expiry periods depend on the website’s current configuration and service providers.
08 Managing your cookie preferences
Where non-essential cookies are used, you should be provided with an appropriate way to make and manage your choices before those cookies are placed or similar technologies are activated.
If a cookie preference tool is available on the website, you can use it to review your choices, accept or reject optional categories and change your preferences later.
You should be able to withdraw or change consent as easily as it was given. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before withdrawal.
09 Managing cookies through your browser
Most web browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings. The available controls vary by browser and device.
You can usually find cookie controls within your browser’s privacy, security or website settings. Browser help pages provide instructions for managing cookies on individual devices.
Blocking all cookies may affect essential website features, including account access, shopping basket functions and checkout. Deleting existing cookies may also remove previously stored preferences.
10 Cookies and personal information
Some cookie information may be linked to an identifiable person or combined with other information we hold. Where this happens, the information will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection law.
We use information collected through cookies only for appropriate purposes, such as operating the website, maintaining requested functions, understanding website performance where permitted and respecting your choices.
For more information about personal information, lawful processing, data retention and your rights, please read our Privacy Policy.
11 Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when website functionality, installed technologies, service providers or applicable legal requirements change.
The version published on this page explains the cookie practices applicable to the website at the time you visit. Where a change affects the way consent is required or obtained, we will take appropriate steps to provide the relevant choice.
