Cookie Policy
This page is in English. The English version is the one that applies.
Last updated 6 October 2026 · Version 1.0
This policy explains what we store on your device, why, and how you can turn it off. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. Who this applies to
This policy applies to chainofdeeds.com and any subdomain we operate. The data controller is Chain of Deeds Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 15529163).
2. The law we follow
Cookies are governed in the UK by the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 ("PECR"), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. Where a cookie also involves personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply as well.
From 5 February 2026 the rules changed. Some low-risk cookies no longer require your prior consent, but they do require clear information and a free and simple way to opt out. We have set our banner up on that basis.
3. What we use: essential cookies only
We use only what the site needs to work. We do not use analytics, measurement, advertising or tracking cookies.
Strictly necessary — no consent required, cannot be switched off
These make the site work. Without them you could not stay signed in, keep items in your bag, or complete a payment securely. They include your session identifier, your bag contents, your language choice, your cookie preference itself, and security tokens used to prevent fraud and cross-site request forgery.
Preference — exempt from consent, but you may opt out
These remember choices you have already made, such as your language or display settings, so you do not have to set them again. They do nothing else.
Advertising and third-party tracking — we do not use these
We do not run advertising cookies, tracking pixels, remarketing tags, social media trackers or cross-site advertising identifiers. If that ever changes we will ask for your explicit opt-in consent first, and we will update this policy before doing so, not after.
4. Cookies set by others
Two services we rely on may set cookies of their own when you use them:
- Stripe — payment processing and fraud prevention. These are strictly necessary when you make a payment. See Stripe's own privacy documentation for detail.
- Google Fonts — typefaces are requested from Google's servers, which discloses your IP address to Google. No cookie is set by us for this purpose. If you would prefer this not to happen, the fonts can be self-hosted; write to us and we will tell you the current position.
5. How to control cookies
- Our banner. Your choice is kept in your browser on this device until you clear this site's data. There is no set time limit.
- Change your mind. Clear this site's data in your browser and the banner will reappear on your next visit.
- Your browser. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, and browser-level or application-level controls are a valid way of signalling your choice under the amended PECR. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop the site working.
6. Changes
If we add a cookie, or change what an existing one does, we will update this page and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent again. The date at the top of this page tells you when it last changed.
7. Questions and complaints
Write to admin@chainofdeeds.com. If you are not satisfied you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
