1. About this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how BOX SMART CUBED LTD, trading as BRICKS-SMART.CO.UK, uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
Website: www.bricks-smart.co.uk
We use cookies to help our website operate correctly, provide our online shopping facilities, remember preferences, understand how visitors use our website and, where you give permission, support analytics and marketing activities.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit.
Cookies can be used for a number of purposes, including:
- allowing websites to function correctly;
- remembering products placed in a shopping basket;
- remembering user preferences;
- keeping customer accounts secure;
- analysing website usage;
- improving website performance; and
- supporting marketing and advertising activities.
The rules relating to cookies and similar technologies are primarily covered by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Where cookies involve the processing of personal information, the UK GDPR may also apply.
3. How We Use Cookies
BRICKS-SMART.CO.UK uses cookies and similar technologies for several purposes.
These are generally divided into the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function correctly.
They may be used for purposes such as:
- maintaining your shopping basket;
- allowing you to proceed through checkout;
- maintaining a customer session;
- remembering login or account information;
- website security;
- preventing fraudulent activity;
- remembering your cookie preferences; and
- other functions essential to providing the online service you have requested.
Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website or a service you have specifically requested, certain strictly necessary cookies may be used without obtaining consent.
The ICO recognises that cookies used, for example, to remember items placed in an online shopping basket can fall within the strictly necessary exemption.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may allow the website to remember choices and preferences you make.
These may include preferences relating to:
- website settings;
- language;
- display preferences;
- customer account functions; and
- other features designed to improve your experience.
Where a functional cookie is not strictly necessary, we will seek your consent before using it where required by law.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use BRICKS-SMART.CO.UK.
They may provide information such as:
- which pages visitors view;
- how visitors navigate the website;
- how long visitors spend on pages;
- which products or pages are viewed;
- the type of device being used;
- browser information;
- approximate geographical information; and
- how visitors arrived at our website.
We use this information to help us improve the website, products, services and customer experience.
Analytics cookies are not strictly necessary for the website to operate and, where consent is required, they will only be activated after you have given appropriate consent.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Where used, marketing and advertising technologies may help us understand the effectiveness of advertising and marketing campaigns or display relevant advertising.
These technologies may include cookies, tracking pixels, tags or similar technologies.
We will not use non-essential marketing or advertising cookies unless the required consent has been obtained.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies and similar technologies may be provided by third-party service providers.
These providers may include services used for:
- payment processing;
- website security;
- analytics;
- advertising;
- social media;
- embedded content; and
- other website functionality.
Third-party providers may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Where third-party cookies require consent, they will not be activated until the appropriate consent has been provided.
Where required by applicable law, our cookie consent mechanism will provide information about relevant third parties.
5. WooCommerce and Shopping Basket Cookies
BRICKS-SMART.CO.UK uses an online shopping system which may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential e-commerce functionality.
These technologies may be required to:
- remember products placed in your shopping basket;
- maintain your shopping session;
- allow you to proceed through checkout;
- process an order;
- maintain customer account sessions; and
- provide other essential shopping functionality.
Without these technologies, important parts of the online shop may not function correctly.
Certain cookies used solely for these essential purposes may therefore be used without consent under the applicable PECR exemption.
6. Payment Services
Our website may use third-party payment services, including Stripe, to process payments.
Payment providers may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as:
- payment processing;
- fraud prevention;
- security;
- authentication; and
- maintaining the integrity of payment transactions.
The specific technologies used may depend upon the payment method selected and the payment provider’s systems.
You should also refer to the relevant payment provider’s privacy information for details of how it processes information.
7. Cookie Consent
When you first visit BRICKS-SMART.CO.UK, our cookie consent system may ask you to choose which categories of non-essential cookies you wish to allow.
Where consent is required, non-essential cookies will not be activated until you provide appropriate consent.
Our consent mechanism may provide options such as:
Accept All
Reject Optional Cookies
Manage Preferences
You are not required to consent to non-essential cookies in order to browse our website or purchase products.
However, certain website features may operate differently if optional cookies are disabled.
The ICO’s current guidance states that consent must involve a clear positive action and that non-essential cookies should not be set before valid consent has been obtained.
8. Changing or Withdrawing Your Cookie Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences after initially making your choice.
Where our website provides a cookie settings or preferences facility, you can use it to:
- review your choices;
- enable optional cookies;
- disable optional cookies; or
- withdraw previously given consent.
We aim to make withdrawing consent as easy as giving it.
You can also control or delete cookies using the settings available in your web browser.
Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
The ICO’s current guidance states that users should be given an easy means of enabling or disabling non-essential storage and access technologies and withdrawing consent.
9. Browser Cookie Controls
Most modern web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- view cookies;
- delete cookies;
- block cookies;
- block third-party cookies;
- allow cookies only from particular websites; or
- delete cookies automatically when your browser is closed.
If you block all cookies, some functions of BRICKS-SMART.CO.UK, including shopping basket and checkout functionality, may not operate correctly.
10. Cookies and Personal Information
Some cookies and similar technologies may collect information which can be linked to an individual or device.
Where this happens, we will process the information in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.
Further information about how we collect, use and protect personal information can be found in our Privacy Policy.
11. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Cookies may be either:
Session Cookies
These cookies are temporary and normally disappear when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies
These cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until they are manually deleted.
The length of time a particular cookie remains active depends on its purpose and the service which sets it.
We aim to ensure that cookies are retained for no longer than reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.
12. Reviewing Our Cookies
We periodically review the cookies and similar technologies used on BRICKS-SMART.CO.UK.
If we introduce new services or technologies which use cookies or similar technologies, we will update this Cookie Policy where appropriate and update our consent mechanism where required.
The ICO recommends that organisations know what technologies their website uses, identify their purposes and distinguish strictly necessary technologies from those requiring consent.
13. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:
- changes to our website;
- changes to the services we use;
- changes to cookies or similar technologies;
- changes in legislation;
- changes in regulatory guidance; or
- changes in how we operate our business.
The latest version will always be published on this page.
