This Cookie Policy explains how Lavinia London uses cookies and similar technologies on lavinialondonn.com.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies help websites operate correctly, remember preferences, support shopping baskets and checkout, measure performance and provide relevant marketing.
Similar technologies—including pixels, tags, scripts and local storage—may perform comparable functions.
Types of cookies we use
We may use the following categories of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for essential website functions, including:
- Website security
- Shopping-basket functionality
- Checkout and payment processing
- Remembering privacy choices
- Fraud prevention
- Account login and authentication
Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website and services you request, they generally do not require consent.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies help remember choices such as language, location and website preferences.
Where legally required, these cookies will only be used after you have provided consent.
Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. They may collect information about pages visited, browsing behaviour, technical errors and website performance.
Where consent is legally required, these cookies will not be placed unless you accept them.
Advertising and marketing cookies
These cookies may be used to measure advertising performance, personalise advertisements and understand interactions with our marketing campaigns.
They may also be placed by advertising or social-media partners. These partners may use information about your activity across different websites.
Advertising and marketing cookies will only be used with your consent where required by UK law.
Shopify cookies
Our store is hosted on Shopify. Shopify uses cookies and similar technologies to support functions such as:
- Store operation
- Shopping baskets
- Secure checkout
- Payment processing
- Fraud prevention
- Website analytics
- Remembering customer preferences
Some Shopify cookies are strictly necessary, while others may require consent depending on their purpose.
Third-party cookies
Third-party services used on our website may place or access cookies. These providers may include:
- Shopify
- Payment providers
- Analytics providers
- Advertising platforms
- Social-media platforms
- Customer-support services
- Website-performance and security providers
Third parties control their own cookies and process information according to their respective privacy policies.
Cookie consent
When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie banner that allows you to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies.
We do not treat simply continuing to browse the website as consent to non-essential cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent. Other cookies will only be activated after you make a choice where consent is legally required.
Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent you from making a purchase, although some optional website features may function differently.
Managing your preferences
You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent through the cookie-preference tool available on our website.
You may also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect important website features, including your shopping basket and checkout.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of cookie use that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
Cookie duration
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies.
Other cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. These are known as persistent cookies.
The duration depends on the cookie’s purpose and the provider that sets it. Further details may be available through our cookie-preference tool.
UK cookie law
We use cookies and similar technologies in accordance with applicable UK laws, including:
- The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, as amended
- The UK General Data Protection Regulation
- The Data Protection Act 2018
Where consent is required, it must be freely given, specific, informed and indicated through a clear positive action.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our website, service providers, technologies or legal obligations.
Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
