Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal data.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website.
They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep you logged in to your account and remember your basket contents
- Enable secure checkout and protect our site from malicious activity
- Measure how our website is used so we can improve performance and content
- Show relevant offers and advertising based on your interactions with our website
Our site is built on Laravel with Botble CMS, which uses first-party cookies
(set by picknsave.co.uk) as well as third-party cookies (set by providers such as Google and Microsoft).
3. Types of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems.
They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as logging in, adding items to your basket,
or completing checkout.
Without these cookies, the website and ecommerce functions will not work properly.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Microsoft Clarity to collect information such as:
- Which pages are visited and for how long
- Which links are clicked
- Technical information about your browser and device
The data is aggregated and does not directly identify you.
3.3 Targeting / Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and
Meta (Facebook). They record your visit to our site, the pages you view and the links you click.
This information may be used to:

We do not control these cookies directly. You should check the relevant third-party privacy and cookie policies
(e.g. Google, Microsoft, Meta) for more information about their use of cookies.
6. Cookie consent and managing your preferences
When you first visit our site, you may see a cookie banner or notice that allows you to accept or reject
non-essential cookies (such as analytics and marketing cookies).
You can manage cookies in the following ways:
-
Via browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies.
Check your browser’s help section for instructions.
-
Via our cookie tools (if available): Where provided, you can adjust your preferences using
our on-site cookie controls.
Please note: If you block all cookies (including essential ones), some parts of our website may not function properly,
and you may be unable to log in or complete purchases.
7. Do Not Track signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. At present, there is no industry standard for how websites
should respond to these signals, so our site does not currently respond to DNT requests.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in technology, law, or our services.
Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Please check back regularly to stay informed.
