Cookie Policy
Last updated: 4 October 2026
1. Who we are
This Cookie Policy applies to the website yegy.co.uk (the "Site"), operated by YEGY ("we", "us", "our"). It explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them. For questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@yegy.co.uk.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to understand how a website is used. We also use "local storage", a similar technology that keeps small amounts of data in your browser. Where this policy says "cookies", it includes local storage unless stated otherwise.
3. Cookies we use
We keep our use of cookies to the minimum needed to run the Site. We currently use only strictly necessary cookies and technologies. We do not use advertising or social media tracking cookies on the Site.
Strictly necessary — set by us (yegy.co.uk)
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| site-gate | Remembers that you have validly accessed a protected part of the Site, so you do not have to re-enter access details on every page. | 30 days |
| shopify-cart (local storage) | Remembers the items in your shopping bag between visits, so your bag is not emptied when you close the browser. | Until you clear your browser data |
Strictly necessary — set by our service providers
When you go to checkout, you leave our Site and complete your purchase on Shopify (our e-commerce provider), which sets its own cookies under its own privacy policy. These may include:
| Provider | Examples | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shopify | cart_sig, cart_ts, _shopify_s, _shopify_y | Keep your cart and session secure, remember your cart during checkout, and prevent fraud. | Session to 1 year |
| Shopify / Shop Pay | secure_customer_sig | Keep you signed in to a Shopify customer account and remember saved payment details for express checkout (only if you choose to use them). | Up to 1 year |
Shopify may also process your payment details, contact information and order history when you buy from us. You can read how Shopify handles personal data in the Shopify Privacy Policy, available on shopify.com.
4. Do we need your consent?
Under UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and the UK GDPR), strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent, because the Site cannot function properly without them. Since these are the only cookies we set on the Site itself, you will not see a cookie banner. If we ever add analytics, advertising or other optional cookies, we will ask for your consent first and update this policy.
5. How to control or delete cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings — all major browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) let you block, delete or restrict cookies, usually under "Privacy" or "Settings". Please note:
- Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Site from working, for example keeping items in your bag.
- Deleting cookies does not delete the data we hold about your orders — that is governed by our Privacy Policy.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features or service providers. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
7. Contact
If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or how we use your data, contact us at privacy@yegy.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
