Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember things about you or your visit. This page explains what cookies Laconias uses and how you can control them.
1. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (always on)
These are needed for the website to work — for example, remembering what's in your basket while you shop, keeping you signed into the admin area if you're staff, and enforcing site security. Without these the website simply wouldn't function.
Analytics Cookies (with your consent)
These help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are popular, how long people stay, where they clicked. We use Google Tag Manager to deliver anonymised analytics.
Marketing Cookies (with your consent)
These allow us to show you more relevant advertising on other websites and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. We use Meta Pixel for this. If you don't consent, no marketing cookies will be set.
2. Your Choices
When you first visit our site, you'll see a cookie banner. You can:
- Accept all: allow essential, analytics, and marketing cookies
- Reject non-essential: only essential cookies will be set; no tracking scripts will load
- Manage: pick and choose which categories you're happy with
You can change your mind at any time — clear this website's data in your browser to see the banner again, or use your browser's cookie settings to remove specific cookies.
3. Third-Party Services
The analytics and marketing cookies we use are delivered by:
- Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics — statistical analysis
- Meta Pixel (Facebook) — conversion tracking and audience measurement
These third parties have their own privacy policies which govern how they handle the data we send them.
4. UK GDPR & PECR Compliance
We comply with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR. This means:
- Non-essential cookies are only set after you actively consent
- You can reject them as easily as you can accept them
- We keep a record of your consent choice
- You can change your mind at any time
