This Cookie Policy explains what cookies myapplianceshop.co.uk uses, what each one does, and how you can control them. It expands on section 12 of our Privacy Policy, which forms part of the same commitment to handling your data properly.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and remember your preferences for future visits. Some are essential for the site to work at all; others help us understand how the site is used, or show you offers that are relevant to you.
We also use similar technologies — such as local storage and pixels — and refer to all of them as “cookies” on this page.
Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
Analytics & performance
Functional
Marketing
Analytics, functional and marketing cookies are only set once you give consent. Strictly necessary cookies run either way, because the site cannot function without them.
