Cookie Policy
Cookies and similar technologies on this store, aligned with PECR as at 14 August 2026.
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on this Fluffy Friends store as at 14 August 2026. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) require consent before we store or read non-essential information on your device. Strictly necessary cookies do not need that consent.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies such as local storage (for your consent choice) and pixels that Shopify may load after you agree.
How to choose
On your first visit we show our cookie banner. You can accept all non-essential cookies, reject them, or save your own mix of analytics and marketing. Essential cookies stay on so the cart and checkout work.
Your choice is stored in this browser as ff_cookie_consent and, where available, sent to Shopify’s Customer Privacy API so Shopify analytics and marketing pixels follow it.
To decide again, clear cookies and site data for this domain and reload the page, or use your browser settings. Blocking all cookies will break checkout.
Categories we use
| Category | What it does | Consent? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Cart, checkout, login, security, fraud checks, remembering this consent choice. Set mainly by Shopify. | No — required for the store |
| Analytics | Helps us understand how the shop is used (for example Shopify store analytics or Shopify pixels marked for analytics). | Yes — off until you accept |
| Marketing | Measures campaigns or personalises ads if a marketing pixel is enabled in Shopify and you accept marketing. | Yes — off until you accept |
What is actually installed
As at 14 August 2026 the theme does not embed a separate Google Analytics, Meta or TikTok advertising pixel. Shopify itself may set essential cookies and, if switched on in the Shopify admin and allowed by your consent, first-party analytics or Shopify pixels.
Checkout and some forms may load Shopify’s bot-protection (for example hCaptcha). That is for security, not advertising.
If we add a named third-party advertising or analytics script, we will name it here before it goes live.
How long they last
Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent Shopify cookies last for the period Shopify sets for that cookie (often weeks or months). ff_cookie_consent stays until you clear site data.
Shopify publishes a list of cookies it uses: shopify.com/uk/legal/cookies.
