This policy is written in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Throughout this document, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Newgate World Limited.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you browse the internet. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, work more efficiently, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "first-party" (set directly by us) or "third-party" (set by a third-party service operating on our site, such as Google Analytics or Meta). They can also be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

2. Your Consent

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we are required to obtain your consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device. We use Consentmo GDPR, a cookie consent management tool, to do this.

When you first visit one of our websites, you will be shown a cookie banner asking you to choose your cookie preferences. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. Non-essential cookies will not be set until you have given your consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of our website, or by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies across our websites:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our websites to function correctly. They enable core features such as adding items to your basket, completing checkout, and maintaining your session. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate properly.

Essential cookies do not require your consent under PECR and are always active.

  • Set by: Shopify
  • Duration: Session or up to 2 years depending on cookie type
  • Examples: Cart session, checkout token, customer login state

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our websites — for example, which pages are visited most, how long visitors spend on the site, and where visitors come from. This helps us improve our websites and the customer experience.

Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.

  • Set by: Google Analytics (GA4)
  • Duration: Up to 2 years
  • Data collected: Pages viewed, session duration, traffic source, device type. Data is anonymised or pseudonymised where possible.
  • Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver personalised advertising based on your browsing behaviour, and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They may track your activity across multiple websites.

Marketing cookies are only set with your consent.

  • Set by: Meta (Facebook/Instagram) — each of our four brand websites operates its own Meta pixel
  • Duration: Up to 90 days
  • Data collected: Pages viewed, products viewed, add to cart events, purchase events. This data is used to serve relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram and to measure ad performance.
  • Meta's privacy policy: facebook.com/privacy/policy

  • Duration: Up to 1 year

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our websites are set by third-party services. We have no direct control over these cookies — they are governed by the third party's own privacy and cookie policies. The third-party services we use that may set cookies are:

We only allow these third-party cookies to be set where you have given your consent via our cookie banner, with the exception of essential Shopify cookies which are required for the site to function.

5. What Happens if You Disable Cookies?

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that if you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of our websites may not function correctly. In particular:

  • Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from adding items to your basket or completing a purchase.
  • Disabling analytics cookies means we will not be able to analyse how you use our site, but your browsing experience will not be affected.
  • Disabling marketing cookies means you will still see advertising, but it will be less relevant to your interests.

For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help section or go to www.aboutcookies.org for independent advice.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can update your cookie preferences at any time using the following methods:

  • Cookie banner — click the cookie settings link in the footer of any of our websites to review and update your preferences
  • Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions
  • Opt out of Google Analytics — you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Opt out of Meta personalised advertising — visit your Facebook or Instagram ad preferences settings, or go to youronlinechoices.com for broader advertising opt-out options

Please note that opting out of third-party advertising cookies does not mean you will stop seeing ads — it means the ads you see will be less tailored to your interests.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in legal requirements, or updates to our third-party services. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We may also notify you via our cookie consent banner.
