Cookie policy

Cookies and similar technologies are small files or pieces of data stored on your device. We use them to make coinstorage.co.uk work and to understand how it is used. This page explains what we use and why.

Essential storage

Your shopping basket is saved in your browser’s local storage on your own device, not on our servers. This is what lets your basket persist as you move between pages. It is essential for the shop to work, contains only the items you have added, and is not used for tracking.

Payment cookies

When you check out, payment is handled by Stripe. Stripe sets its own cookies to process the payment securely and to help prevent fraud. These are necessary to take a payment and are set only when you proceed to checkout. You can read how Stripe uses cookies in its own privacy and cookie policies.

Analytics and advertising cookies

With your consent we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are viewed and how people arrive, and Google Ads to measure the effectiveness of our advertising. These set cookies that collect this information, usually in an aggregated form. They are not essential for the site to work, are only set after you accept them in our cookie banner, and you can decline them or change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies at any time in your browser settings, and most browsers let you block third-party or analytics cookies while keeping essential ones. Blocking essential storage or payment cookies may stop the basket or checkout from working. For more on how we handle personal data, see our privacy policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the tools we use change. Any updates will appear on this page.
