Headboards4u Cookie Policy
Our website uses cookies to tell you apart from other visitors. This helps us give you a smooth experience when you browse headboards4u.co.uk, keeps your basket working as you shop, and lets us improve the site over time.
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves in your browser or on your device when you visit. Cookies let a site remember your actions and choices for a while, so you do not have to enter them again each time you return or move between pages. By continuing to use our website you agree to cookies being used as described in this policy. You can change your browser settings at any time to refuse or remove them.
The cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are needed for the website to work. They let you add headboards to your basket, go through checkout securely, and log in to your account. The site cannot work properly without them.
- Analytical and performance cookies. These help us count visitors and see how people move around the site, for example which pages are popular. We use this to make the site easier to use.
- Functionality cookies. These remember the choices you make, such as items in your basket or details you have already entered, so the site works the way you expect when you come back.
- Targeting and attribution cookies. These record how you found our website (for example a search engine or a social media link). This helps us understand which of our advertising and marketing works.
Third-party cookies
Some services we use may set their own cookies, for example our payment providers when you pay by card or PayPal, and social media sites if you click through to our pages. We do not control these cookies. Please check the relevant third party’s website for more information about them.
How to block or delete cookies
You can block cookies by changing your browser settings so that it refuses all or some cookies. Most browsers also let you delete cookies that are already stored. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of our website, including the basket and checkout, may not work.
