Who operates this website?

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by SCHOOLWEAR 1 LTD at schoolwearuk.shop.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar storage technologies that can be placed on, or accessed from, a visitor’s device when a website is used.

They can help a website remember information, maintain certain functions, support website security or provide information about how the website is being used.

Similar technologies can include local storage, scripts, tags, tracking pixels and other technologies that store or access information on a device.

Types of cookies

Cookies and similar technologies can be grouped according to what they do.

Strictly necessary cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be necessary for the website to operate correctly.

Depending on the functions being used, this may include maintaining a shopping basket, supporting order processing, remembering a session, protecting website security, preventing misuse or enabling a function specifically requested by the visitor.

Where a technology falls within an applicable strictly-necessary exception, separate consent is not required for that specific use.

Optional cookies

Cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary for the website’s requested function will only be used where the applicable requirements for consent have been satisfied.

This may include technologies used for website analysis, preference features or marketing-related activities where those technologies are actually enabled on the website.

Non-essential technologies will not be treated as accepted simply because a visitor continues to browse the website.

How consent works

Where consent is required, it should be freely given, specific, informed and provided through a clear affirmative action.

A visitor should be able to understand what optional technologies are being used and why before making a choice.

Optional categories should be capable of being considered separately where appropriate. We do not treat silence, inactivity or simply continuing to browse as consent to non-essential cookies.

How long cookies remain

Cookies can be either session-based or persistent.

Session cookies

These are generally removed when the relevant browsing session ends or when the browser is closed, depending on how the technology operates.

Persistent cookies

These remain on a device for a defined period or until they are removed. The applicable period depends on the specific cookie and its purpose.

We aim to use retention periods that are proportionate to the relevant purpose and applicable requirements.

Third-party technologies

Some website functions may rely on technologies provided by third parties.

Where a third party places or accesses cookies or similar technologies through the website, the relevant third party may have its own privacy and technology policies.

We will provide appropriate information about third parties where their technologies are actually used and where this information is required.

We do not state that a particular third-party service is used unless that service has actually been enabled on the website.

Shopping and website functions

Because this website provides online clothing orders, certain technical storage may be required to support functions such as maintaining a shopping basket, remembering relevant session information and completing the requested order process.

If a cookie or similar technology is specifically necessary for a function requested by the visitor, it may fall within an applicable exception to the consent requirement.

Optional technologies are treated separately from these necessary website functions.

Website analysis

If analytics technologies are enabled, they may be used to understand general website activity, such as which pages are visited, how visitors move through the website and which areas may need improvement.

Analytics technologies that require consent will not be activated before the relevant consent has been obtained.

Analytics settings may change as the website develops. The applicable cookie preference information should therefore be checked when making a cookie choice.

Browser controls

Most modern browsers allow visitors to control or remove cookies through their browser settings.

Browser controls can normally be used to delete existing cookies or restrict future cookies.

However, disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the operation of parts of the website, including shopping or order-related functions.

Changing or withdrawing a choice

Where consent has been given for optional cookies, visitors should be able to change or withdraw that choice through the available cookie preference controls where provided.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

The ICO states that consent for storage and access technologies must be capable of being withdrawn, and that consent requests should not be bundled into general website terms. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Cookies and personal information

Some cookies and similar technologies may involve information that relates to an identifiable individual. Where this happens, the relevant processing will also be considered under applicable data protection requirements.

Further information about how SCHOOLWEAR 1 LTD handles personal information is available in our Privacy Policy .

Advertising technologies

If advertising or advertising measurement technologies are introduced, the relevant technologies will be assessed before being enabled.

Where consent is required for such technologies, they will not be activated until the required consent has been obtained.

The ICO confirms that storage and access technologies used for online advertising require consent because they are not strictly necessary for providing the website service. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when website functions, cookies, similar technologies or applicable requirements change.

If the way optional technologies are used changes in a way that requires a new or renewed choice, the relevant preference mechanism will be updated accordingly.

Visitors should refer to the latest version of this Cookie Policy when reviewing the website’s current cookie arrangements.
