Cookie policy

With this cookie policy, we would like to explain what cookies and cookie-like technologies are, how we and other service providers use them on this website, what information they collect, for how long, and for what purposes we use them.

• Cookies and similar technologies are small text files that are stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are used to remember your preferences and to track your activity on the website. This can include things like the items you've added to your shopping basket, the pages you've visited, and the time you've spent on the site.
• The legal basis for setting and reading cookies primarily stems from privacy regulations. In the UK, this is largely governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), which implement the EU's e-privacy directive. PECR requires that: * **Informed Consent:** You must obtain informed consent from individuals before storing or accessing information on their computer or device (including cookies). This consent must be freely given, specific, and an informed indication of what the user agrees to. This often means providing clear and comprehensive information about the types of cookies used, their purpose, and who will have access to the data. * **Transparency:** Users must be informed about the use of cookies. This is typically done through a cookie banner or notice on the website. * **Right to Withdraw Consent:** Users must be able to withdraw their consent at any time. Additionally, the **General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)**, which the UK has retained in its own law (UK GDPR), also plays a significant role, especially when cookies process personal data. Under GDPR, if a cookie collects personal data (e.g., an identifier that can be linked to an individual), then: * **Lawful Basis for Processing:** Your use of that cookie must have a lawful basis for processing personal data, such as consent, legitimate interests, or contractual necessity. Consent is the most common basis for non-essential cookies. * **Data Protection Principles:** All GDPR principles, such as data minimisation, purpose limitation, and accuracy, must be complied with. **In summary, the legal basis for setting/reading cookies is primarily based on obtaining informed consent under PECR, with the GDPR adding further requirements for the processing of any personal data that cookies might collect.**

• There are many kinds of biscuits! Broadly speaking, they can be categorised as: * **Shortbread biscuits:** These are often crumbly and buttery, with a high fat content. Think of traditional shortbread fingers or rounds. * **Ginger biscuits:** These have a spicy kick from ginger, and can range from crisp to chewy. * **Digestive biscuits:** Usually wholemeal, these are firmer and often have a slightly sweet, nutty flavour. * **Plain or cream crackers:** These are typically unsweetened and often used with cheese or savoury toppings. * **Wafer biscuits:** These are very thin, crisp biscuits, often sandwiched together with a cream filling. * **Rich tea biscuits:** These are light, thin, and relatively plain, good for dunking. * **Chocolate biscuits:** These can encompass a huge variety, from biscuits coated in chocolate to chocolate chip cookies. * **Oatmeal biscuits:** Made with oats, these tend to be chewier and more substantial. * **Fruit biscuits:** These contain dried fruit, such as currants or raisins. * **Biscuits for dunking:** While many biscuits can be dunked, some are specifically designed to withstand it for a little longer without disintegrating entirely. Then there are also "cookies" in the American sense, which are generally softer, chewier, and often contain chunks like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit.

Addition to the privacy policy

This cookie policy supplements this website's privacy policy. The cookie policy specifies how a website uses cookies and what data it collects through them, while the privacy policy provides a more comprehensive overview of all data processing activities on the website and beyond.

Cookies and similar technologies are small text files that are stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are used to remember your preferences and to track your activity on the website. This can include things like the items you've added to your shopping basket, the pages you've visited, and the time you've spent on the site.

Cookies are small pieces of information, similar to text files, that can be stored and read on the end device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining basic functionalities of the website, security and privacy, providing optional functions of the website, collecting statistical data on visitor flows, and providing marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies include the storage of login status in user accounts, the content of shopping baskets on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking behaviour on the website.

The information can technically be stored in various ways. The best-known examples of this are HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies such as local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different properties, which determine the technical handling, accessibility, and controllers authorised to access the information. All these types of storage are usually summarised under the term "cookies" and are therefore referred to as such in this cookie policy.

The legal basis for setting and reading cookies primarily stems from privacy regulations. In the UK, this is largely governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), which implement the EU's e-privacy directive. PECR requires that: * **Informed Consent:** You must obtain informed consent from individuals before storing or accessing information on their computer or device (including cookies). This consent must be freely given, specific, and an informed indication of what the user agrees to. This often means providing clear and comprehensive information about the types of cookies used, their purpose, and who will have access to the data. * **Transparency:** Users must be informed about the use of cookies. This is typically done through a cookie banner or notice on the website. * **Right to Withdraw Consent:** Users must be able to withdraw their consent at any time. Additionally, the **General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)**, which the UK has retained in its own law (UK GDPR), also plays a significant role, especially when cookies process personal data. Under GDPR, if a cookie collects personal data (e.g., an identifier that can be linked to an individual), then: * **Lawful Basis for Processing:** Your use of that cookie must have a lawful basis for processing personal data, such as consent, legitimate interests, or contractual necessity.

the setting and reading of cookies in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) is in accordance with Art. 5 (3) ePrivacy Directive and Recital 66 ePrivacy Directive only permitted if a user has given their consent on the basis of comprehensive information about the purposes of the processing. The website operator may also set cookies if they are strictly necessary to provide you, the user, with the expressly requested service, e.g. the basic content of this website or other strictly necessary cookies for the basic functionality of the website to be displayed to you without your consent.
