3. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.
Cookies can help a website function correctly, remember choices, keep items in a basket, support secure checkout, recognise cookie preferences, protect forms, understand how visitors use the site, or support embedded content such as videos, maps, payment tools or social media integrations.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, session storage, scripts, SDKs, device identifiers or other tools that store information on, or access information from, your device.
4. TYPES OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES WE MAY USE
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These are needed for the website to work properly.
They may support security, page navigation, form protection, cookie preference storage, basket functionality, account or checkout sessions, payment processing, fraud prevention, server balancing and other core website functions.
These cookies do not usually require prior consent because they are necessary to provide the website or service you have requested. If you block them in your browser, some parts of the website may not work properly.
4.2 Functional cookies
Functional cookies help remember choices or settings, such as preferences, display options or other features that improve the user experience.
Some functional cookies may be treated as non-essential depending on their purpose and will only be used where permitted by your cookie choices and the settings available through our website platform.
4.3 Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive at the site and whether pages or forms are working effectively.
Where these cookies are non-essential, they should only be used after you have given consent through the cookie banner or preference controls.
4.4 Marketing, advertising and social media cookies
Marketing, advertising and social media cookies may be used by third-party platforms to measure campaigns, personalise content, support social media features or track interactions with embedded content.
These cookies are non-essential and should only be used where you have given consent or where the relevant third-party platform sets them after you choose to interact with that platform.
4.5 Embedded content cookies
Our website may include or link to embedded content, such as YouTube videos, maps, social media content, payment tools or review widgets.
Third-party embedded content may use cookies or similar technologies controlled by that third party. These providers have their own privacy and cookie practices.
Where possible, non-essential embedded content cookies should not be loaded until you have accepted the relevant cookies or interacted with the content.
5. SQUARESPACE PLATFORM COOKIES
The ConstructPC website is hosted and managed through Squarespace.
Squarespace may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functions, security, fraud prevention, shopping basket features, checkout functionality, form operation, account features, site performance and platform stability.
Some Squarespace cookies may be strictly necessary for the website to operate. Others may support analytics, performance or optional features depending on our website settings and your cookie choices.
6. PAYMENT AND CHECKOUT COOKIES
When you use the online shop or checkout, cookies and similar technologies may be required to keep items in your basket, process checkout steps, support payment security, prevent fraud and complete your order.
Third-party payment providers such as Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, card providers or mobile wallet providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies when you interact with their payment services.
Those providers process information under their own privacy and cookie notices.
7. GOOGLE, SOCIAL MEDIA, REVIEW AND VIDEO SERVICES
ConstructPC may use or link to services such as Google Business Profile, Google Workspace, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Trustpilot or other review, social media, video or business platforms.
If you click external links, view embedded content, leave a review, interact with social media features or watch videos, those platforms may set their own cookies or similar technologies.
We do not control third-party cookies placed directly by those platforms. You should review the relevant platform’s privacy and cookie information for more detail.
8. COOKIE CONSENT AND PREFERENCES
When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie banner or preference tool.
Where required, non-essential cookies should not be placed unless you give consent through a clear positive action, such as accepting cookies or selecting preferences.
You should be able to reject non-essential cookies as easily as you accept them, where the website platform provides this functionality.
You can change your cookie preferences using the cookie controls available on the website, where provided by the website platform.
9. BROWSER CONTROLS
You can also control cookies through your web browser settings.
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. You may also be able to block third-party cookies or clear cookies when you close your browser.
If you block all cookies, essential features such as forms, baskets, checkout, account pages, security tools or cookie preference storage may not work correctly.
10. HOW LONG COOKIES LAST
Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
The exact duration of cookies may vary depending on the cookie type, website platform, third-party provider and your browser settings. Third-party providers may set their own cookie durations.
11. UPDATES TO COOKIE USE
We may update our use of cookies and similar technologies if we change website platforms, analytics tools, payment providers, embedded content, social media integrations, review widgets, advertising tools or security features.
If we introduce new non-essential cookies or use existing cookies for a materially different purpose, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, request consent through the cookie banner or preference tool.
