Cookie Policy

About This Policy

This Cookie Policy is issued by ATV Store, All Things Vinyl ("ATV STORE", "we", "us", "our") and explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal data more generally. If you have any questions, please contact us.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers stored on your browser or device when you agree to it. It acts as a unique identifier, sending information back to whoever placed it — either us, or an authorised third party. For a general explainer, visit cookiepedia.co.uk.

First & Third-Party Cookies

A first-party cookie is set by us, and helps us run the Site efficiently and understand how visitors use it. A third-party cookie is set by someone else through our Site — for example, an analytics or payment provider. We don't control the data these third parties collect; it's governed entirely by their own privacy policies, linked below.

Session & Persistent Cookies

Session cookies last only for the duration of your browser session and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain after you close your browser, allowing quicker, more convenient access next time you visit.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary: required for the Site to function — for example, logging into your account or using the shopping cart. These don't identify you personally, and disabling them will break core features.
• Analytical/performance: let us count visitors and see how they move around the Site, so we can improve it. All data collected is aggregated anonymously.
• Functionality: recognise you when you return, so we can remember preferences like your language or region. These may include personal data you've provided, such as your username. Disabling them may limit some features.
• Targeting: record the pages you've visited and links you've followed, so we (and our partners) can make advertising more relevant to you. These typically track visitors via IP address, so may collect some personal data.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Under UK PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) and UK/EU GDPR, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device when you first visit our Site. You can change your mind at any time via your browser settings, or using the links below:

• Safari: support.apple.com
• Google Chrome: support.google.com
• Firefox: support.mozilla.org
• Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com
• To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Note that blocking cookies may affect or limit your experience on our Site. For general guidance, visit allaboutcookies.org. We're not responsible for the content of external websites.

Duration of Cookies

All first-party cookies we set last two years or less. Third-party cookies expire according to that provider's own policy — see the links in the table above for details.

Amendments to This Policy

We may amend this Cookie Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and you may also be notified electronically where appropriate. Please check back periodically to review any updates.
