1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They often include an identifier and may store preferences or help a site work efficiently. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and scripts that achieve comparable purposes.
Under UK law (including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, "PECR"), we need to tell you what we use and, for anything that is not strictly necessary, obtain your consent before we set or read it (unless another lawful ground applies).
2. How we obtain your consent
When you first visit the Site, you may see a cookie banner that lets you reject non-essential technologies, accept all optional categories, or manage individual categories (essential, analytics, marketing). Your choices are stored in your browser using local storage under the key hmokitchens_cookie_consent_v1, including a version number and timestamps, so we do not keep asking on every visit.
You can reopen the preference centre at any time. If the banner is not visible because you already chose settings, use the button below or "Cookie settings" in the site footer.
Blocking or deleting cookies and local storage may affect how the Site works (for example your preferences may reset).
3. Categories we use
3.1 Essential (always on)
These technologies are needed for the Site to function, for security, to remember your cookie choices, or to manage load. They are used based on our legitimate interests in operating a secure, working website, and (where PECR requires it) because they are strictly necessary.
Examples of purposes in this category:
- remembering that you have made a choice on the cookie banner;
- maintaining session integrity or security features provided by our hosting platform;
- protecting against malicious activity or abuse.
The exact cookie names and durations can change when we update the Site or platform. If you need a current list for audit purposes, contact info@hmokitchens.co.uk.
3.2 Analytics (optional, consent)
If you enable this category, we may use first-party or third-party analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Site (for example which pages are viewed and how the Site performs). These tools may set cookies or use similar storage to distinguish sessions or remember preferences.
We only enable analytics in line with your choice. You can turn this category off in the preference centre at any time.
3.3 Marketing (optional, consent)
If you enable this category, we may allow technologies that help measure advertising or campaigns (for example conversion tracking) if we use such tools on the Site. We do not enable this category unless you consent.
4. Third-party content and links
The Site may embed content or links to third parties (for example manufacturer sites, maps, or social platforms). Those services may set their own cookies if you interact with them. We do not control their practices; please read their privacy and cookie notices.
5. Browser controls
Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies and clear local storage through their settings. You can also use industry opt-out pages where available. Note that essential parts of the Site may not work if you block all storage technologies.
6. Updates
We may update this Policy when we change how the Site works or when regulators publish new guidance. The effective date at the top will change when we do.
7. More detail on personal data
Where cookies or similar technologies involve personal data, our Privacy policy explains how we process that information and the rights you have.
