cookie policy.

This page lists the cookies and similar tracking technologies chaiiwala.co.uk uses, what each one does, and how to control them. For how we handle personal data generally, see our privacy policy.

what cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They’re used to remember settings (like a logged in session or a closed banner), measure how the site is used, and sometimes to personalise marketing across other sites you visit.

categories we use

• Strictly necessary — needed for the site to work. We remember your cookie-consent state, prevent cross-site-request-forgery on our forms, and route requests to the right Vercel edge. These cannot be turned off.
• Analytics — anonymous usage measurement so we can see which pages, products and stores you’re looking at. We use Vercel Web Analytics by default and, with your consent, Google Analytics 4. Both are configured to mask IP addresses and not pass personal identifiers.
• Marketing — set only if you accept marketing cookies in the banner. These let us measure which of our ads led to website visits and tailor promotions on platforms like Meta and Google.

third-party cookies

Some pages embed content from third parties (for example an Instagram feed, an ordering iframe, or a YouTube video). These services set their own cookies under their own privacy policies. We don’t control them and don’t share data with them beyond what their embed requires.

managing cookies

You can reopen the cookie banner at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of any page, or by clearing site cookies in your browser’s privacy settings. Most browsers also let you block third-party cookies entirely.

changes

We update this page when the cookies we set change. Material changes will be re-prompted via the consent banner so you can decide again.
