Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They can help maintain a shopping cart, keep an account session active, remember choices, and provide information about website use.

Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, and embedded scripts, may perform related functions. Some can transmit information without storing a traditional cookie.

2. Types of Cookies & Their Purposes

The categories below explain common purposes. They are not a verified list of every cookie currently installed. The technologies present depend on the page, features used, third-party content, and your choices.

Optional technologies must not be treated as strictly necessary merely because they are useful to the business.

3. Information Associated With Cookies

Depending on the technology, information may include a cookie identifier, IP address, device and browser details, pages visited, referral source, interactions, and saved preferences.

Where this information identifies or can be linked to a person, it is handled as personal information. Read our Privacy Policy for information about processing, sharing, security, retention, and privacy requests.

4. First-Party & Third-Party Technologies

First-party cookies relate to this website. Third-party technologies can come from services used for payments, embedded content, analytics, advertising, or other features.

Opening WhatsApp, following a supplier or affiliate link, or using an external payment service may take you to a provider with its own cookie and privacy policies. Review those notices when using the service.

5. How Long Cookies Remain

Session cookies generally last for the browser session. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date, until you delete them, or until they are otherwise removed. Browser session-restoration settings may affect this behaviour.

Duration varies by the specific cookie and provider. Where a cookie inventory is available through a consent tool, consult it for cookie names, providers, purposes, and expiry information. You can also inspect stored website data in your browser settings.

6. Managing or Withdrawing Consent

• Website controls: Where a consent banner or preference panel is displayed, use it to accept, reject, or change optional categories.
• Browser settings: View, delete, or block cookies and website storage through your browser’s privacy settings.
• Third-party services: Review available privacy choices in the relevant provider’s account or service settings.

Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it for future activity. Withdrawal does not make earlier lawful processing unlawful. Deleting cookies may reset saved choices, and blocking necessary storage may affect your cart, login, or checkout.

If you cannot find the relevant controls, contact PWS for assistance. Emailing a request does not automatically clear cookies already stored on your device.

7. Browser Privacy Signals

Browser privacy settings and signals differ. Do not assume that a “Do Not Track” setting alone blocks all tracking. Use available consent controls and browser restrictions, and contact us if you need clarification about how a particular signal is handled.

Applicable legal requirements concerning recognised privacy signals remain unaffected.

8. Policy Updates

We may revise this policy when website features, providers, or legal requirements change. The revision date appears above. Where a change requires fresh consent, updating this page does not replace obtaining that consent.
