Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how northwoodretail.digital uses cookies and similar technologies, and what choices a visitor has. It forms part of the site's terms of use and should be read alongside the Privacy Policy. The site operator is Northwood Retail, 3 Victoria Place, Earley, Reading, England. Where this policy refers to cookies, it also covers other local storage technologies used by the site.

Section one

What cookies are

A cookie is a small file placed on a device by a website, which allows the site to recognise the device on later visits. Cookies may be session-based, meaning they are removed when the browser closes, or persistent, meaning they remain for a set period.

They may be set by the site itself or, where permitted, by third-party services used on the site. Cookies do not themselves identify a person, but they may be linked to information held about a visit.

Session Removed when the browser closes. Used to hold a state for one visit.
Persistent Remain on the device for a set period, up to the expiry the service declares.
Third-party Set by a service the site depends on — hosting, delivery, or analytics — under its own policy.

Section two

Cookies used on this site

The site uses cookies for two purposes. Essential functions support the site's basic operation; analytics, where enabled, help the studio understand page use so improvements can be made.

Essential

Always active

Support basic operation, such as remembering a consent choice. Used on the basis of the site's legitimate interest in operating correctly.

Analytics

Consent required

Where enabled, help measure how pages are used so the studio can decide what to change. Not set unless consent is given.

The site does not use cookies for advertising or for cross-site tracking. The specific cookies present may change as the site develops, and this page will be updated when they do.

Section three

Managing cookies in your browser

Every major browser allows a visitor to view, block, or delete cookies through its settings. Where a browser names them, the relevant controls sit under a privacy, site data, or security heading. Blocking all cookies may affect how some websites behave, though this site remains usable without them.

Deleting cookies removes existing files and returns the site to a default state on the next visit, at which point the consent choice may be requested again. Browser help sections explain the exact steps for each browser, and they change from time to time.

01

Open settings

Find the browser's settings menu — usually reachable from the main menu or a keyboard shortcut.
02

Locate site data

Look for privacy, site data, or security sections where cookies are listed.
03

View, block, or delete

Inspect what is stored, block new cookies, or clear what is already there.

Section four

Consent

Where non-essential cookies are used, consent is requested before they are set, and a visitor may decline without losing access to the site. The consent panel appears on the visitor's first arrival and can be recalled from the browser's stored data.

Withdrawing consent: Clear cookies in the browser and revisit the site, or adjust browser settings.
Essential cookies: Necessary for the site to function properly, used on the basis of the site's legitimate interest in operating correctly, and do not require consent.

Section five

Third-party cookies

The site does not run third-party advertising or tracking cookies. Where a third-party service is used for hosting, delivery, or analytics, that provider may set its own cookies and handle data under its own policy.

The studio does not control the content of those third-party cookies. If a provider is changed or added, this page will be updated, and the relevant policy will be listed in the Privacy Policy's contact section.

Section six

Changes and contact

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the cookies used on the site or in applicable law. The current version is the one published here, and the date at the top of this page records it.

Questions about cookies, or requests relating to them, can be sent to the studio by email or by post. Please describe the issue in enough detail for the studio to check it.
