COOKIE POLICY
How we use cookies on almagrovejewellers.com — what they are, why we use them, and how to control them.
We use necessary cookies to make our site work. These cookies are automatically set. When you consent to it, we also use other cookies to improve the way the site works, measure how it is used, and provide relevant advertising to you.
This policy details how our site works and how we put you in control of managing cookies. It also outlines what cookies are used and why, as well as other information that may be useful to you.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files set on a site to help operate and support its functionality. They collect and store certain information about the way a site is used, and can help a site integrate with other third-party sites. Pixels and tags are similar technologies; for convenience, we refer to all of these as cookies.
Cookies can be set by us or, in some cases, by external third-party services who provide services on our site or are referred to on the third-party section.
We may also refer to session cookies, which expire at the end of a user's browsing session (usually when a user exits the browser), and persistent cookies, which are stored on your device for a longer period and in between sessions.
If you are based in the UK, there is lots of useful information about cookies on the Information Commissioner's website.
Why are cookies used on this site?
Our site uses cookies to enable certain functionality, such as security and accessibility. These cookies are necessary and set by default. You can disable these cookies by changing your browser settings, but doing so may mean that our site does not work properly.
When you consent to it, our site also uses the following cookies for the following reasons:
- Preference & Functional Cookies — to allow our site to remember choices you make, such as what currency you selected or your choice of language.
- Performance & Statistics Cookies (sometimes called analytical cookies) — to recognise and count the number of visitors to our site, and to collect other information about how you use our site, such as what pages you previously visited and what links you previously clicked on. These are sometimes third-party cookies.
- Marketing & Advertising Cookies (sometimes called targeting cookies) — to collect information about you online at any time to help advertisers deliver, for example, more relevant information to you. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
Further information about the cookies we use, as well as the purpose for which we use them, is set out in the table below.
Telling us about your cookies settings
You can change your cookies settings at any time by using the cookies consent mechanism. The cookies consent mechanism remembers your preferences from your first visit to the site. If you want to change your preferences, you can click on the cog icon at the bottom left of your screen, and the cookies consent mechanism will appear.
You can accept all cookies by clicking 'Accept All Cookies' or reject all cookies (except necessary cookies) by clicking 'Reject All Cookies'. Alternatively you can adjust the available sliders to 'On' or 'Off' to indicate your preference for each cookie category by clicking 'Manage Preferences' and saving your preferences. You may need to refresh our site in order for your preferences to take effect.
Our site will only use necessary cookies without your permission — we need your permission to set all other cookies. This cookies consent mechanism does not affect the way that necessary cookies are used. As we set out above, if you would prefer necessary cookies not to be set, you can change your browser settings, but this may mean that our site no longer works properly.

The full list of first-party and third-party cookies set on our site — including their names, type (necessary, preference, performance/statistics, marketing/advertising), purpose, provenance (first-party or third-party), and duration (session or persistent) — is published in our public cookies register. Cookie names include analytics IDs (e.g. for Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel) and session IDs used to remember your basket and preferences.
