What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that websites can store on your computer, phone or other device. They help websites work properly, remember information about your visit and, where permitted, help website owners understand how their services are being used.
Similar technologies can also be used, including local storage, pixels, scripts and tags. In this policy, we use the term cookies to cover these technologies where appropriate.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for a number of purposes, including operating our online shop, remembering the contents of your basket, protecting the website, understanding how the site is used and, where you have given the required permission, supporting marketing and customer communications.
1. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are needed for the website to function and for services you request. They may be used to keep products in your basket, operate checkout, process security features, maintain sessions and remember essential choices. Because these cookies are necessary to provide the service, they do not normally require your consent.
2. Analytics and performance
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use Printer-Cartridges.co.uk, such as which pages are visited, how customers move through the site and whether technical or usability problems occur.
Our website uses services including Google Analytics. Where consent is legally required for a particular use of analytics technology, it will only be enabled after you have made the relevant choice. Certain limited statistical uses may be permitted without consent where the legal requirements for that exception are met and an appropriate means of objecting is provided.
3. Functional cookies
Functional technologies may remember preferences or provide enhanced website features, including product search, printer-finding tools and other features that make the site easier to use. Some functionality may be provided by third-party services such as Searchanise.
4. Marketing and customer communication
We use Omnisend to support email sign-up forms and automated customer communications, including basket and checkout reminders. Omnisend and similar services may use cookies, scripts or other identifiers to recognise website activity and connect it with customer interactions. Where these technologies are not exempt from consent requirements, they will only be used after the required permission has been obtained.
5. Payment and fraud prevention
Payment providers such as PayPal, and other payment services available at checkout, may use cookies or similar technologies for payment processing, security, fraud prevention and authentication. Some of these technologies may be strictly necessary to complete a payment you request.

First-party and third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed directly by Printer-Cartridges.co.uk and are known as first-party cookies. Others may be placed or accessed by services that we use to operate or improve the website and are known as third-party cookies.
Third-party providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. Where required, we identify these services through our cookie consent controls and obtain the appropriate permission before activating non-essential technologies.
Managing your cookie choices
When cookie choices are presented on our website, you can accept or reject non-essential technologies and adjust your preferences. Where applicable, you can also change or withdraw your choice later using the cookie settings available on the website.
You can also control cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies. Please be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website, including the basket or checkout, from working correctly.
How long cookies remain on your device
Some cookies are session cookies and are removed when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies and remain for a defined period or until you remove them. The lifespan depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service providing it.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when we change the technologies used on the website, introduce new services or where legal or regulatory requirements change. The latest version will always be published on this page and the date above will show when it was last updated.
