This Cookie Policy explains how ACANTHA GROUP LIMITED, trading as Barbarian Barware (“we”, “us” and “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies on www.barbarianbarware.co.uk (the “Website”). It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They can remember information about your visit, such as the contents of a basket, preferences or how you use a website. Similar technologies, including pixels, tags and local storage, can perform comparable functions. In this policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies”.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to make the Website work, keep it secure, remember preferences, understand how visitors use it and, where you choose to allow it, measure advertising and show more relevant advertising. Some cookies are set by us and others are set by third parties that provide services to us.
3. Your choices
When you first visit the Website, you can accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies using our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time by selecting Cookie Settings on the Website. Rejecting non-essential cookies will not stop you from using the Website, although some features may not work as smoothly.
You can also remove or block cookies through your browser settings. Browser controls do not necessarily remove all similar technologies, and blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Website, basket or checkout from working correctly.
