This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on the key website (youarekey.co.uk), and how you can control them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Similar technologies — such as pixels, local storage and session storage — work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
2. Who places cookies on this site?
Cookies may be placed by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party services we use, such as Shopify (which powers our store), payment processors and any analytics or marketing tools we have enabled. Third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to read.
3. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies that:
- Keep your shopping basket working as you browse.
- Remember that you have logged in to your account.
- Support secure checkout and payment processing.
- Ensure the website displays correctly.
Because these cookies are essential, they do not require your consent.
Preference cookies
These cookies remember choices you have made — such as your currency or language preference — so the website can provide a more personalised experience. We will only use these cookies with your consent where required by law.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether any errors occur — so we can improve the experience. We will only use analytics cookies with your consent where required by law.
[Store owner: please list here any specific analytics services you have installed, such as Google Analytics, and link to their cookie information pages.]
Advertising and marketing cookies
These cookies may be used to show you relevant adverts on other websites and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. We will only use advertising cookies with your consent.
[Store owner: please list here any specific advertising or tracking services you have enabled, such as Meta Pixel, and link to their cookie information pages. If none are currently installed, remove this section or state that advertising cookies are not currently in use.]
4. Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit our website, you will be shown a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time using the cookie preferences link in the footer of our website.
Withdrawing your consent is as straightforward as giving it. Changing your preferences will not affect cookies that were placed before you updated your settings.
5. Browser settings
Most browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these in the “Privacy” or “Settings” menu of your browser. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website, including your ability to add items to your basket or complete a purchase.
6. More information
For more information about how we handle your personal information more broadly, please see our Privacy Policy.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable law. The current version is always available on this page, and the “Last updated” date at the top will reflect any changes.
