Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how TWOPAGES uses them on our UK website, and the choices available to you. It applies to all pages on https://twopagescurtains.co.uk ('our website').
Please read this policy alongside our Privacy Policy, which contains further information about how we handle your personal data, and our Terms of Website Use.
If you have any questions, you can contact us at support@twopagescurtains.co.uk at any time.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, mobile phone, or any other internet-enabled device — when you visit a website. They are widel

y used to make websites work correctly and efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how their sites are used.

 

Cookies can be either:

  • Session cookies: temporary files that exist only for the duration of your visit and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: files that remain on your device for a defined period of time, or until you choose to delete them manually.

Cookies may be set directly by us ('first-party cookies') or by third-party services that appear on our website, such as analytics or advertising tools ('third-party cookies').
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, tracking pixels, and local storage. This policy covers all such technologies unless stated otherwise.

How We Use Cookies

TWOPAGES uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • To ensure our website functions correctly and securely — for example, to keep your shopping basket intact as you browse and to maintain your login session.
  • To remember your preferences and settings, such as your preferred currency, so you have a consistent experience on each visit.
  • To understand how visitors use our website, enabling us to improve its content, structure, and performance.
  • To deliver relevant marketing and advertising — both on our website and on third-party platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest — where you have given your consent to marketing cookies.
  • To enable social media features such as sharing and following buttons.

Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). Under PECR, we are required to obtain your informed consent before placing any cookies on your device that are not strictly necessary. We collect this consent through a cookie banner when you first visit our website. You can manage or withdraw your preferences at any time — see Section 5.

Categories of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies on our website as follows. The cookie preference centre on our website allows you to control which non-essential categories you accept.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function and cannot be disabled in our systems without preventing core features from working. They do not require your consent under PECR.
They are set in response to actions you take — such as setting your cookie preferences, logging in to your account, or adding items to your basket — and do not store any personally identifiable information.
Without these cookies, services such as your shopping basket, secure checkout, and account login would not function.
You can set your browser to block strictly necessary cookies, but parts of our website will then not work as intended.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in order to provide you with a more personalised and convenient experience on return visits.
Examples include remembering your preferred currency, your recently viewed products, and your display preferences. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services appear on our pages.
Functional cookies are only placed on your device if you consent to them. You can accept or decline this category in our cookie preference centre.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether any error messages are received. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.
We use this information to improve our website's content, design, and functionality. Our primary analytics provider is Google Analytics (Google LLC). Google Analytics may transfer data to servers in the United States; where this occurs, appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.
Performance cookies are only placed on your device if you consent to them. You can accept or decline this category in our cookie preference centre.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Marketing and Targeting Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to show you advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by our advertising partners. These cookies track your browsing activity — including visits to our website and other websites — to build a profile of your interests and deliver targeted advertisements to you on other platforms and websites.
These cookies are also used to limit how many times you see the same advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Our marketing cookie providers currently include: Meta (Facebook / Instagram), Google Ads, Pinterest, and TikTok. Each provider has their own privacy policy and opt-out tools — see Section 6 for links.
Marketing cookies are only placed on your device if you consent to them. You can accept or decline this category in our cookie preference centre.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Our cookie preference centre

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear. You can:

  • Accept all cookies
  • Reject all non-essential cookies
  • Choose your preferences by category — accepting some categories whilst rejecting others

Your preferences will be saved and applied on each subsequent visit. To review or change your choices at any time, please use our cookie preference centre.
Please note: your preferences are stored in a cookie on your device. If you clear your browser's cookies, you may be asked to set your preferences again on your next visit.

Browser controls

Most web browsers also allow you to manage cookies directly through their settings. You can typically:

  • block all cookies;
  • block third-party cookies only whilst allowing first-party cookies;
  • be notified before a cookie is placed on your device;
  • delete all cookies that are currently stored on your device.

Please be aware that blocking or deleting cookies — particularly strictly necessary cookies — may prevent some parts of our website from working correctly. For example, your shopping basket may not be saved between pages, and you may need to log in again each time you visit.


Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

Withdrawing your consent

Where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent — for example, in connection with functional, performance, or marketing cookies — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. You can do so by:

  • deleting cookies from your browser and not re-accepting them the next time you visit;
  • using the opt-out tools provided by individual third-party providers (see Section 6).

Please note that withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before you withdrew it. It will not affect cookies that are placed on a basis other than consent — namely, strictly necessary cookies.
