Cookie Policy

Effective date: 22 July 2026. Updated 6 October 2026.

Cookies in plain English

Some cookies are needed to run the shop, keep it secure, remember your basket and complete payment. Some help us count visits and see where the website is slow or broken. Others show relevant advertising. We do not set advertising cookies until you choose to allow them.

Choose Accept, Decline or Manage preferences in the cookie bar. Use the Cookie Settings control below, or the Cookie Settings link in the footer, to reopen the panel at any time.

You can change your choice at any time.

The live settings panel lists the current cookies, providers, purposes and durations.

Full cookie policy

1. What this Policy covers

This Policy explains how Boteane uses cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits and similar storage or access technologies on Boteane.co. The Privacy Notice explains how related personal information is used.

2. Cookie categories

Strictly necessary: security, checkout, basket, authentication, fraud prevention, network management and choices requested by the user. Used without consent only where the legal exemption applies.
Preferences: remember language, region, display and other optional choices. Consent, unless strictly necessary to provide a requested feature.
Analytics: count visits and measure journeys, performance and errors so we can improve the site. Our shop platform, Shopify, provides this as Shopify Analytics: it records which pages were visited, what was added to the basket and whether a checkout was completed, using first-party cookies set by boteane.co. It does not share this data with advertisers. Under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, low-risk statistical analytics of this kind may run on an opt-out basis. You can switch it off at any time in Cookie Settings above. Other analytics tools, including Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, run only after you accept.
Marketing: measure campaigns, create audiences and personalise advertising across services, including Meta and Google. Consent before use, always.
Social and embedded content: enable optional content or sharing tools from third parties. Consent before use unless a narrow exemption applies.

3. Consent and controls

On the first relevant visit, the cookie bar provides a real choice. Advertising technologies are not set before consent. Continuing to browse is not treated as consent. Declining is as straightforward as accepting.

Change or withdraw consent through the Cookie Settings control on this page or in the website footer. The panel allows Accept, Decline and individual category choices, including switching off analytics. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. Some stored cookies may remain until deleted or expired but will not be used for a newly refused purpose where technically controllable.

4. Live cookie inventory

The live cookie-settings panel forms part of this Policy and displays, for each current technology, its name, provider, purpose, category and duration. Boteane keeps that inventory synchronised with the live Shopify theme, apps, analytics, advertising pixels and embedded services.

5. Browser controls

Browsers also allow cookies to be deleted or blocked. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent checkout, account or basket functions from working. Browser controls do not replace our obligation to obtain consent where required.
