This policy explains how Barbersmiths ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on barbersmiths.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in the same way. They help a site remember your choices and help us understand how the site is used.
How We Use Cookies
Cookies fall into three categories. Essential cookies are always on. Performance and Marketing cookies are only set if you turn them on: click Accept All on our cookie banner, or choose Customise to pick categories individually. If you click Decline, or make no choice, none of these cookies are set and no tracking scripts are loaded.
