1. About this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how The Big Cheese Store Ltd uses cookies and similar storage and access technologies on www.thebigcheese.store. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

We have not yet selected our final e-commerce platform, payment provider or website analytics and marketing services. For that reason, this policy describes the categories of technologies that may be used rather than listing specific suppliers or cookie names. We will update this policy when the website technology stack is finalised.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on or accessed from your computer, smartphone or other device when you use a website. Similar technologies can include pixels, local storage, scripts, tags and other mechanisms that store information on, or access information from, a user’s device.

3. How We May Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

Strictly necessary technologies

These may be required for the website or online shop to operate and may support functions such as security, shopping baskets, checkout, session management and remembering privacy choices. Where an applicable legal exception permits their use without consent, they may be activated automatically.

Preference or functionality technologies

These may remember choices you make, such as display or website preferences, so that the website can provide enhanced functionality. Whether consent is required will depend on the technology and applicable legal rules.

Analytics and measurement technologies

If we choose to use analytics or audience-measurement tools, these may help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are popular and how the site performs. We will assess the applicable consent requirements before enabling them.

Advertising and marketing technologies

If we later use advertising, retargeting, social-media pixels or similar marketing technologies, these may be used to measure advertising effectiveness or tailor advertising. Technologies requiring consent will not be activated before valid consent has been obtained.

4. Your Choices

Where consent is required, our website will provide a mechanism allowing you to make an appropriate choice before relevant technologies are activated. You should also be able to change or withdraw your choice through the website’s cookie controls once implemented.

You can also control cookies through your browser. Blocking certain strictly necessary technologies may prevent parts of an online shop from working correctly.

5. Third-Party Technologies

Our final website may use technologies provided by third parties, for example an e-commerce platform, payment provider, analytics service, embedded media service or advertising provider. Once those services have been selected, we will update this policy to identify relevant third parties, purposes and durations where required.

6. Cookie Audit and Cookie List

Before the final website is launched, we intend to audit the cookies and other storage and access technologies used by the site. We will then add or make available a current cookie list identifying, where applicable, the technology or cookie, provider, purpose and duration.

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, technologies, suppliers or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published on www.thebigcheese.store.
