1 Introduction
Our website, https://kirnix.co.uk (“the website”), uses cookies and other related technologies. For convenience, we refer to them together in this policy as “cookies”, although some are technically scripts, pixels, tags, or similar storage and access technologies.
Some cookies are placed by us. Others are placed by third parties whose services we use on the website.
2 What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device when you visit a website. The information in that file may be returned to our servers or to the servers of relevant third parties during a later visit.
Cookies can help a website function properly, remember preferences, keep services secure, and measure how the site is used.g this site, you agree” wording for non-essential cookies. Where consent is required, we ask for it first.
3 What are scripts?
A script is a piece of code that helps a website function properly and interact with visitors. This code may run on our server or on your device.
Scripts can be used to load content, protect forms, manage preferences, improve performance, or support services provided by third parties.
4 What is a web beacon?
A web beacon, sometimes called a pixel tag, is a small invisible image or snippet of code that can be used to monitor traffic, measure activity, or support certain site features.
Web beacons may be used together with cookies or other technologies to understand how visitors use pages or interact with content.
5 How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- make the website and basket work properly;
- support secure checkout and payment fraud prevention;
- remember your cookie choices;
- understand how visitors use the site;
- improve performance and usability;
- support subscriptions, embedded content, and third-party services; and
- measure marketing activity where you have agreed to this.
We do not rely on “by using the site, you agree” wording for non-essential cookies. Where consent is required, we ask for it first.
6 Cookie categories we use
6.1 Functional cookies
These cookies are used for core website functions such as basket use, checkout, payment processing, fraud prevention, spam protection, security protections, and storing your cookie choices.
These cookies do not require consent where they are genuinely necessary to provide a service you have asked for. PECR contains limited exceptions for strictly necessary storage and access technologies.
6.2 Statistics cookies
These cookies help us understand how people use the website, such as which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site, and how the site performs.
We treat Statistics cookies as consent-based and only use them if you choose to allow them.
6.3 Marketing cookies
These cookies may be used to measure campaign performance, support mailing list activity, understand interest in products, support embedded media, or enable advertising and remarketing.
These cookies only run if you have given consent.
6.4 Social media and embedded content
Where we include third-party content, such as Pinterest or YouTube features, those services may place their own cookies or access information on your device when you interact with them.
That content may store or process certain information for analytics, functionality, or marketing purposes depending on the service involved and your consent choices.

8 Consent
When you first visit our website, you can choose whether to Accept, Deny, or Save preferences through our cookie banner.
The Functional category is always active because it covers technologies needed for core site functions. Statistics and Marketing only run where you have given consent.
You can revisit those choices later through the Manage Consent settings on the site.
Under current ICO guidance, consent for non-essential technologies must be a clear positive action, users must be given clear information, and it must be easy to reject or withdraw consent later.
If we receive a recognised privacy signal or your settings indicate that non-essential technologies should be limited, we may default your cookie settings to strictly necessary only until you choose otherwise.
9 Enabling, disabling, and deleting cookies
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- view stored cookies;
- block cookies;
- delete cookies; and
- block cookies from specific sites.
Please note that blocking Functional cookies may affect how the website works. Basket, checkout, payment, account, and saved settings features may stop working properly if essential cookies are blocked.
