A little about
the cookies we use.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your device when you visit it. They allow the website to recognise certain information about your visit, such as a session identifier or a preference you have previously selected.

Cookies can be temporary or remain on your device for a defined period. Temporary cookies, often called session cookies, are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted.

Our website may also use similar technologies that store or access information on your device. For simplicity, this policy refers to these technologies collectively as cookies unless a distinction is needed.

How cookies are used on our website

BUKBIM 3TS PROPERTIES & INVESTMENTS UK LTD operates an online shop selling home accessories, decorative objects and soft furnishings. Cookies may support the website functions involved in browsing products and placing orders.

Depending on the features enabled on the website, cookies may be used to:

• Keep the website functioning correctly while you browse.
• Maintain the contents of your shopping basket as you move between pages.
• Support checkout and order-related website functions.
• Remember relevant website preferences or settings.
• Help maintain website security and prevent misuse.
• Support optional measurement or other features, where enabled and permitted.

The cookies actually used may change when website functionality or installed services are updated.

Types of cookies

Cookies can be grouped according to their purpose. The categories below explain how different types may apply to our website.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required to provide a service you have requested or to transmit communications over an electronic communications network. They may support shopping basket functions, checkout sessions, security and essential website operations.

These cookies do not require consent where they fall within the applicable legal exemption.

Preference cookies

These cookies may remember choices made on the website, such as certain display or browsing preferences. Where consent is required, they will only be used after you have given it.

Analytics cookies

If analytics tools are enabled, these cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how website navigation performs. They are not essential to completing a purchase and will only be used where the required consent has been obtained.

Advertising and marketing cookies

If advertising or marketing technologies are introduced, they may be used to support relevant promotional features or measure campaign activity. These technologies are non-essential and will only operate where the required consent has been obtained.

Cookies and the shopping process

Our website uses WooCommerce to provide online shopping functions. Depending on the current configuration, WooCommerce and related website components may use cookies or session information for the following purposes:

• Shopping basket: to help maintain the items you have added while browsing.
• Checkout: to support the steps involved in submitting an order.
• Customer session: to maintain relevant session information during website use.
• Order processing: to support the technical functions required to complete the ordering process.

Without certain necessary cookies or session functions, parts of the shopping process may not operate as intended.

The precise cookies used depend on the installed WooCommerce version, website configuration and any additional extensions.

How long cookies remain on your device

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and technical configuration. Some cookies are removed when a browsing session ends, while others remain for a defined period.

These are descriptions of cookie types rather than a statement that every category is currently active. Actual expiry periods should be checked against the cookies installed on the live website.

Third-party cookies

Certain website functions may involve services supplied by organisations other than our business. Depending on the services actually used, those providers may set or access cookies when their features are loaded.

Examples may include website hosting or security functions, order-related services, embedded content or optional measurement tools.

Third-party cookies are subject to the relevant provider’s technical operation and privacy information. Where their use requires consent, they should not be activated before the appropriate consent has been obtained.

We recommend reviewing the relevant provider’s privacy information where third-party features are used.

Your cookie choices and consent

Where the law requires consent for cookies or similar technologies, we will request that consent before placing or accessing the relevant information on your device.

You should be able to make a genuine choice between accepting and refusing non-essential cookies. Refusing optional cookies should not prevent access to the ordinary parts of the online shop that do not depend on those cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate where they are exempt from the consent requirement.

Changing your preferences

If a cookie preference tool is displayed on the website, you can use it to review or change your choices. Where the tool provides a preference centre, it should allow you to withdraw previously given consent as easily as you gave it.

You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Removing cookies may affect certain saved preferences and shopping basket functions.

Managing cookies through your browser

Most modern browsers provide settings that allow you to review, restrict or delete cookies. The available controls differ depending on the browser and device.

You can normally find cookie controls within your browser’s privacy, security or website settings.

• View cookies stored by websites.
• Delete existing cookies.
• Restrict cookies from selected websites.
• Configure certain automatic deletion settings.

If you block all cookies, some website features may not work correctly. In particular, shopping basket and checkout functions may be affected.

Similar technologies

In addition to cookies, websites may use other technologies that store or access information on a device. Depending on the features enabled, these may include local storage, session storage or similar browser-based technologies.

Where these technologies fall within applicable rules governing storage of or access to information on a user’s device, we will apply the relevant consent requirements.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy when website functionality, cookie technologies or applicable legal requirements change.

The current version will be published on this page. Where a change materially affects the way consent is obtained or how cookies are used, we will take appropriate steps to make the updated information available.

We recommend reviewing this page periodically to remain informed about our cookie practices.
