This Cookie Policy explains how Your Vegan Passport (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data more generally.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and tags may be used for comparable purposes; in this policy we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies”.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for a number of reasons, including to keep our site secure and functioning, to remember your preferences, to understand how visitors use our site, and — where you have given consent — to support marketing and personalised content.
Categories of cookies we use
Necessary cookies. These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include cookies that keep you logged in, remember items in your shopping cart, and enable secure checkout. Our store runs on WooCommerce, which sets cookies of this type.
Functional cookies. These enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences and choices. If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not work correctly.
Analytics / performance cookies. These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously, so we can improve how the site works.
Advertising cookies. These may be set through our site to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. Our site may use Google AdSense, which uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. We also embed content from third parties such as Instagram, which may set their own cookies.
Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit our site, you are shown a cookie consent banner where you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your choices by category. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the consent settings from the banner.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies; the exact method varies by browser. Please note that blocking some types of cookies may affect your experience of the site and the services we are able to offer.
To learn more about managing cookies, you can visit the help pages of your browser, or resources such as your national data protection authority.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the setting of these cookies, so we recommend reviewing the relevant third party’s own privacy and cookie policies. Third parties whose services we may use include, among others, Google (advertising and analytics), WooCommerce/Stripe/GoDaddy Payments (payment processing), and social media platforms such as Instagram.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
