This Cookie Policy explains how tidynestbox, operated from 28 Market Street, Manchester, England, M1 1PT, United Kingdom, uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at www.tidynestbox.com. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for functionality, analytics, and other purposes.
3. Consent and Choice
We value your privacy and provide you with clear choices regarding the data collected.
- Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions.
- Non-Essential Cookies: We only use non-essential cookies (such as those used for analytics or preference tracking) if you have provided your explicit consent. You can indicate your agreement by clicking the “Accept” button on our Cookie Banner. Unless you proactively click “Accept,” these non-essential cookies will remain inactive.
4. Third-Party Cookies and Payment Processing
In order to facilitate a functional checkout experience and maintain the integrity of transactions, our Website uses third-party services.
- Stripe: We utilise Stripe for payment processing and fraud prevention. Stripe may place cookies on your browser to ensure the functionality of the payment gateway and to assist in detecting and preventing unauthorised transactions. These cookies are essential for the completion of the order process and for maintaining standard operational protection.
5. Cookie Retention Periods
We retain cookie data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, in accordance with UK and EU data protection principles:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and expire once you close your browser or your session ends.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. In compliance with European and US regulations, persistent cookies on our site typically remain for a period ranging from 30 days up to 12 months, depending on their specific function (e.g., remembering your preference settings). We do not store cookie data longer than is reasonably required for its intended purpose.
6. Managing Your Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager or by adjusting your web browser settings to refuse all cookies if you prefer.
If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser settings vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
7. Specific Regional Disclosures
- UK & European Residents: Our processing of cookie data is governed by the UK GDPR and EU GDPR. We rely on “legitimate interests” for essential cookies and “consent” for all other types.
- US Residents: In accordance with various state laws (such as the CCPA/CPRA), we disclose that cookies are used to collect information about your interaction with our site. We do not sell your personal information gathered via cookies to third parties for monetary consideration.
