Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Ricks Rigz uses cookies and similar technologies on ricksrigz.co.uk, what they do, why we use them and how you can control your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit and can be used for functions such as keeping products in your shopping basket, remembering preferences and understanding how visitors use a website.
Some cookies are essential for a website to function correctly, while others may be used for analytics, personalisation or marketing.
2. How Ricks Rigz Uses Cookies
Ricks Rigz may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functionality, improve the shopping experience, remember preferences, understand website usage and support certain optional services.
Essential Website Functions
Cookies may be required to operate important parts of the website, including shopping basket functionality, account access, checkout and website security.
Remembering Preferences
Cookies can help remember selections and settings so that you do not have to enter the same information repeatedly during your visit.
Website Performance
Where permitted, cookies may help us understand how visitors interact with the website so we can identify problems and improve usability.
Marketing & Advertising
Where these technologies are used and your consent is required, cookies may help measure advertising performance or provide more relevant promotional content.
3. Types Of Cookies We May Use
| Cookie Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary Cookies | Required for core website features such as navigation, security, account functions, shopping basket operation and checkout. |
| Preference Cookies | Used to remember settings or choices that improve your experience when returning to the website or moving between pages. |
| Analytics Cookies | Where enabled, these may help us understand visitor numbers, interactions and website performance. |
| Marketing Cookies | Where used and consented to, these may be used to measure advertising effectiveness or support personalised marketing. |
4. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the operation of ricksrigz.co.uk and cannot reasonably be switched off without affecting important website functions.
These may include cookies required to:
- Maintain your shopping basket
- Keep checkout sessions working correctly
- Allow customers to sign in to their account
- Maintain website security
- Remember essential choices during a browsing session
- Process requests made through the website
Because these cookies are required to provide services you request, they may be used without the same consent requirement that applies to non-essential cookies.
5. Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics technologies to understand how people use our website, for example which pages are visited, how visitors navigate between pages and whether technical problems occur.
Where analytics cookies are not strictly necessary, they should only be used after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
6. Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of advertising or to show more relevant promotional content.
If Ricks Rigz uses marketing or advertising cookies that require consent, they should not be activated until you have chosen to allow them through the website's cookie controls.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie consent tools available on the website.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some website features may be provided by third-party services. These services may set their own cookies when their functionality is used.
Examples could include payment services, embedded media, analytics platforms or other website technologies.
Third-party cookies are controlled by the organisations that provide those services and their use may also be covered by their own privacy and cookie policies.
8. Cookies Used During Shopping & Checkout
Our ecommerce platform may use cookies or similar session technologies to remember the contents of your basket, maintain your checkout session and allow the website to process your order correctly.
These technologies are necessary for services you request when shopping on ricksrigz.co.uk.
9. How Long Cookies Last
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose.
Session Cookies
These normally remain active only during your current browser session and are typically removed when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. They can be used to remember settings between visits.
10. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Where non-essential cookies are used, you can manage your choices through the cookie consent controls provided on ricksrigz.co.uk.
You can usually choose whether to allow categories such as analytics or marketing cookies while still allowing essential website cookies to operate.
11. Browser Cookie Controls
Most web browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their settings.
The exact controls vary between browsers and devices. You can normally find cookie controls within your browser's privacy or security settings.
Please be aware that blocking all cookies may prevent some areas of ricksrigz.co.uk from operating correctly, particularly shopping basket, account and checkout functions.
12. Similar Technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, websites may use other technologies that perform similar functions, such as local storage, session storage, tracking pixels or other browser-based technologies.
Where these technologies store or access information on your device, we treat them consistently with applicable cookie and privacy requirements.
13. Personal Information & Cookies
Some information collected through cookies may be treated as personal information, particularly when it can be linked to a device, account or other identifying information.
For more information about how Ricks Rigz handles personal information, including your data protection rights, please read our Privacy Policy.
