Cookie Policy

This policy explains how www.akbasjewellers.shop uses cookies and similar technologies.

Effective date: 17 August 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files or similar identifiers stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website. They can help a website function, remember choices, measure performance or support advertising. Similar technologies may include pixels, local storage and software development kit identifiers.

2. Categories we may use

Category

What it does

Strictly necessary

Needed for core website functions such as security, network management, cart/checkout operation, payment flow, fraud prevention and remembering privacy choices. These cannot always be switched off through a consent tool because the service would not work properly without them.

Functional

May remember optional settings or preferences that improve your experience.

Analytics / performance

May help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are viewed and where technical improvements are needed.

Advertising / marketing

May be used, where enabled, to measure campaigns, limit repetition, build audiences or show more relevant advertising across services.

 

3. Consent for non-essential cookies

Where UK law requires consent, we will not place or use non-essential analytics, functional or advertising cookies until you have made the relevant choice. Our website should provide a cookie/privacy control that lets you accept, reject or manage optional categories. Strictly necessary technologies may operate without consent where permitted because they are required to provide the service you request.

4. Shopify and third-party technologies

Because the store is built on Shopify, Shopify may set or access technologies needed to provide its ecommerce platform. Optional apps, analytics services, payment providers or advertising tools may also use cookies or similar technologies if enabled. The specific technologies used can change when we add, remove or update website services.

5. Managing your choices

Use the cookie or privacy settings control provided on our website to manage optional cookies where available. You can also use browser controls to block or delete cookies, although blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the cart, checkout or account functions to stop working properly.

6. Retention

Different cookies remain on your device for different periods. Some last only for the browser session; others may remain for a set period so a preference or measurement can be recognised on a later visit. We aim to keep cookie durations proportionate to their purpose and the settings of the services we use.

7. Updates and contact

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website technology changes. For questions, contact contact@akbasjewellers.shop or 020 3489 3310.
