This Cookie Policy explains how Green Haven Home uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit and use my website.
Green Haven Home is the trading name of Thomas Paul Paffett, an individual and sole trader based in the United Kingdom.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and can help the website remember information about your visit, maintain functionality, improve performance, and provide certain services.
Some technologies that are similar to cookies may also store or access information on your device. This Cookie Policy applies to those technologies where applicable.
2. How I Use Cookies
I use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:
- Operating and securing my website
- Keeping products in your shopping basket
- Supporting the checkout process
- Remembering necessary preferences
- Understanding website performance
- Improving the customer experience
- Analytics, where enabled and where the required consent has been provided
- Advertising or marketing, where enabled and where the required consent has been provided
I do not use non-essential cookies or similar technologies for analytics, advertising, or marketing purposes where the applicable law requires your consent unless that consent has been obtained.
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Some cookies and similar technologies are necessary for my website and ecommerce services to function properly.
These may support functions such as:
- Shopping basket functionality
- Checkout functionality
- Payment-related processes
- Website security
- Session management
- Essential website functionality
Where a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary to provide a service that you have requested, applicable UK cookie rules may allow it to be used without consent.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recognises that certain cookies necessary for functions such as shopping baskets and checkout may fall within the strictly necessary exemption, provided they are used only for the necessary purpose.
I will not treat a cookie as strictly necessary simply because it is useful to me or helps me improve my website.
4. Analytics Cookies
If analytics services are enabled on my website, cookies or similar technologies may be used to help me understand how visitors use my website.
This information may help me understand things such as:
- Which pages visitors view
- How visitors navigate the website
- How visitors interact with my website
- Website performance
- General website usage patterns
Analytics cookies are not treated as strictly necessary simply because they help me improve the website. Where applicable, I will request the required consent before using analytics cookies.
The ICO identifies analytics cookies, such as those used to count website visits, as an example of cookies that generally require consent.
5. Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Where advertising or marketing technologies are enabled on my website, they may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising activity, understand interactions with advertisements, or support relevant marketing.
I will not use non-essential advertising cookies or similar technologies without the required consent.
Advertising-related storage and access technologies generally require consent under UK cookie rules because they are not strictly necessary for providing the website service.
6. Shopify Cookies
My online store is powered by Shopify.
Shopify and services supporting my Shopify store may use cookies and similar technologies to provide ecommerce functionality, security, checkout functionality, and other website services.
The specific cookies used on my website may vary depending on my Shopify store configuration, apps, integrations, and services enabled at any particular time.
For more information about Shopify's privacy practices, please refer to Shopify's own privacy information.
7. Cookie Categories
| Cookie Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Website, shopping basket, checkout, security and essential functions | May not require consent where the applicable exemption applies |
| Preferences | Remembering selected preferences and improving functionality | Where required by law |
| Analytics | Understanding website usage and performance | Consent required where applicable |
| Advertising / Marketing | Advertising measurement and marketing-related functionality | Consent required where applicable |
8. Your Cookie Choices
Where my website uses non-essential cookies that require consent, you will be given an opportunity to choose whether to allow them.
You should be able to accept or reject non-essential cookies without being required to accept them as a condition of using my website.
Where available, you can also change your cookie preferences through my cookie-consent or privacy settings.
The ICO states that valid cookie consent should involve a clear positive action and that users should be able to refuse non-essential cookies as easily as they can accept them.
9. Browser Cookie Controls
You can also use your web browser settings to control, block, or delete cookies.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- Delete existing cookies
- Block cookies
- Allow cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Delete cookies when you close your browser
Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of my website, including shopping basket and checkout features.
10. Third-Party Cookies
Some services used on my website may be provided by third parties. Depending on the services enabled on my store, these third parties may use cookies or similar technologies.
I will only permit non-essential third-party cookies or similar technologies where the appropriate legal requirements have been met.
The specific third-party technologies used on my website may change as I update or improve my store.
11. Changes to My Cookie Use
The cookies and similar technologies used on my website may change from time to time as I add, remove, or update services and features.
Where my use of cookies changes in a way that affects consent requirements, I will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, request appropriate consent.
