Cookies Policy
Last updated: 29 June 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how Essential Bathrooms ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.essentialbathrooms.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — such as pixels, tags and local storage — work in much the same way. They help the site function, remember your preferences, measure how the site is used, and (where you agree) support marketing.
The cookies we use
We group the cookies on our site into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the website to work — for example, keeping items in your basket, processing checkout securely and protecting against fraud. These are always active and do not require your consent.
- Functional and preference cookies. Remember choices you make, such as region or display preferences, and support features such as our on-site chat, to improve your experience.
- Analytics and performance cookies. Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it — for example, which pages are most popular. This includes Shopify analytics and Google Analytics.
- Advertising and targeting cookies. Used to measure and deliver relevant advertising, including via Google and YouTube and on social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. These are only set where you have given your consent.
Your choices and UK law
Under UK data protection law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, as amended), strictly necessary cookies are always permitted. Advertising and cross-site tracking cookies are only used where you have given consent. Analytics and preference cookies may be used on an opt-out basis, and you can object to them at any time using the controls described below.
Managing your cookies
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through the cookie banner shown when you first visit the site, and you can change your choice at any time via our cookie preferences or your browser settings. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies — see your browser's help pages for details. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use, including Shopify (our e-commerce platform), Google and YouTube, our product-review provider, and social media and advertising platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. These providers set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy and cookie policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, our practices or the law. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
