2. What are cookies
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to operate can be set without your permission. All other cookies require your consent before they are placed on your device.
We use cookies for a variety of purposes, including to keep the site secure, remember preferences (including your cart), improve site performance, and show you relevant promotions where consent has been given.
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
We use first party and third party cookies. First party cookies are set by us. Third party cookies are set by other organisations, mainly for analytics and advertising.
Cookies may not directly identify you by name, but they can collect identifiers such as IP address, device information and browser details. Where these identifiers are treated as personal data, they are handled in line with our Privacy Notice.
3. What cookies do we use
Like most websites, InkPoster uses first party and third party cookies and similar technologies to keep the site secure, remember what is in your cart, measure traffic, improve pages and show you relevant promotions where consent is given.
You can review the cookies we set, their purpose and how long they last on our Cookie Information Page or by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the site footer. You can accept or reject non essential cookies at any time. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you block or delete cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly, including checkout and account login.
For more information on adjusting browser settings, you can visit aboutcookies.org or allaboutcookies.org.
We use the following categories of cookies:
a) Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as secure login, shopping cart retention and saving your cookie preferences. We also use these cookies to detect and prevent security threats.
These cookies are set automatically and remain only for as long as needed. You can block them in your browser settings, but doing so may stop key site features from working.
b) Performance cookies
These cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors use the website, such as pages viewed, time spent, clicks and similar analytics data. These cookies help us understand site performance, identify issues and improve page layout and speed.
If you disable performance cookies, the website will still function, but we will have less information to help us improve it.
c) Targeting cookies
These cookies allow us to work with advertising partners such as Google Ads and Meta so the ads you see on other websites are more likely to match your interests. They recognise your browser across sites and link visits to interest categories created by our advertising partners.
We do not receive your name or direct contact details from this process, but the identifiers created can be used to deliver interest based advertising and to measure ad performance.
If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertising, but it may be less relevant.
You can change your cookie settings at any time via “Cookie Settings” in the website footer.
d) Functionality cookies
These cookies remember choices you make, such as language, region or layout preferences. They also support optional tools and embedded features such as live chat widgets, video players and social media plug ins.
If you disable functionality cookies, core shopping and security features will still work, but some convenience features may not work as intended.
