Cookie Policy

Effective date: 31 July 2026

This policy explains how Secure Payment Ltd, trading as Halsworth & Hayes, uses cookies and similar technologies on halsworthhayes.shop. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.

1. Controller and contact

The controller is Secure Payment Ltd, company number 16138815, registered at Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FA, England. Contact us at contact@halsworthhayes.shop.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small data files stored on or read from a device. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage and identifiers used by a website or service provider. Some last only for a session; others remain for a stated period or until deleted.

3. Categories we use

Strictly necessary

These support functions requested by the visitor, including security, fraud prevention, basket contents, checkout, account access, localisation and storage of privacy choices. They operate without optional consent where the law permits the strictly necessary exemption.

Preferences

These remember optional choices and personalise the visit. In regions where prior consent is required, they are permitted only after the visitor chooses them.

Analytics

These help measure use of the store and improve performance. In regions where prior consent is required, analytics collection is permitted only after the visitor chooses it.

Marketing

These may measure advertising or support relevant marketing. In regions where prior consent is required, marketing collection is permitted only after the visitor chooses it.

4. Shopify consent controls

The store uses Shopify’s Customer Privacy controls. For visitors in configured regions, including the United Kingdom, the banner provides controls for the optional purposes made available by Shopify. Shopify-specific cookies and Shopify Pixels follow the consent state supplied through that system. Manually installed third-party technologies, if added in the future, must also be integrated with the same consent signal or otherwise blocked until the required consent is obtained.

Cookie names can describe the consent category or infrastructure rather than prove that optional tracking occurred. For example, Shopify may use consent-state cookies with names containing “analytics” or “marketing” to store whether that purpose is allowed. The presence of such a consent-state cookie alone is not evidence that an optional analytics or marketing event was collected.

5. Choose or change preferences

Use the Cookie preferences control in the footer to open Shopify’s privacy choices. Where the banner is required for the visitor’s region, it also presents the available accept, reject and preference options. A visitor can change a choice later through the same footer control. Browser controls can also delete or block cookies, but blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the basket, checkout, account or security functions from working.

6. Providers

Shopify provides the commerce platform, hosting, checkout and Customer Privacy controls. Payment, fraud-prevention, delivery, order-tracking and other installed services may receive only the information necessary for their function and may use their own strictly necessary technologies. Optional analytics or marketing providers must follow the consent choice where required. The providers and processing purposes currently used by the business are described in our Privacy Policy and may change as store services change.

7. International processing

Some providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred internationally, the controller uses the safeguard applicable to that provider and transfer, such as a UK adequacy regulation, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

8. Retention

Cookie duration depends on its purpose and provider. Session cookies normally end with the session; persistent cookies expire on their configured date or when deleted. Privacy choices may be retained so that the store can respect the visitor’s selection. Provider cookie details can change as Shopify and installed services update their systems, so cookies should be managed through the supported consent controls rather than by relying on a fixed name list.

9. Rights and complaints

Rights relating to personal data, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection and withdrawal of consent where applicable, are explained in our Privacy Policy. Contact contact@halsworthhayes.shop. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
