Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Designer Pets UK uses cookies and similar technology on designerpetsuk.com, what they do and how you can control them. Cookies should improve a website—not behave like tiny uninvited private investigators.
Your choice
You can accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies through our cookie banner. Essential cookies cannot be switched off because the shop, basket, checkout, security and consent controls need them to work.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may store or access information in your browser or device. They can remember choices, keep a basket working, protect forms, measure website use or support advertising.
2. Essential cookies
These support services you request or functions necessary for the website to operate, such as:
- remembering basket and checkout contents;
- account login and security;
- fraud prevention and website protection;
- processing forms and payments safely; and
- remembering your cookie-consent choices.
Consent is not normally required for technologies that are strictly necessary, but we still explain their use.
3. Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember optional choices or provide enhanced features, such as preferred settings, embedded media or certain third-party services. Where they are not essential to a feature you request, they are used only according to your consent choice.
4. Analytics cookies
Analytics technology can help us understand how visitors use the site—for example, which pages are visited and whether errors occur—so we can improve it. Where consent is required, these technologies remain off unless you accept the relevant category. Reports may be aggregated, but cookie identifiers and online activity can still count as personal information.
5. Advertising and social-media cookies
Advertising or social-media providers may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure campaigns, limit repeated adverts or personalise content across websites. These are non-essential and are used only where you have made the relevant consent choice. The available categories and providers are shown in Cookie Settings and the cookie list below.
6. Third-party services
Some features—such as payment services, embedded media, analytics or social content—may be supplied by third parties. Those organisations may set or read their own cookies when the feature is used and the necessary permission has been given.
Third parties may process information outside the United Kingdom under their own privacy terms. More information about personal-data sharing and safeguards appears in our Privacy Policy.
7. Changing or withdrawing consent
You can reopen Cookie Settings at any time using the button near the top of this page or the cookie control provided on the website. Withdrawing consent will not make earlier processing unlawful, but it should prevent the relevant optional technologies from being used in future.
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser. Blocking all cookies may prevent the basket, checkout, login or other services from working correctly. Browser help pages explain how to manage stored site data.
8. Cookies currently identified on this website
The table below is supplied from the site’s CookieYes scan and may change as website services are updated. Durations are approximate and can also depend on your browser or provider settings.
If no entries appear above, CookieYes is not currently reporting an additional cookie inventory. You can still review and change every available consent category through Cookie Settings.
