Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish you from other users and to collect information about users’ activities, including browsing and purchasing behaviour.

Cookies Policy
Which sites does this policy relate to?
This policy applies to all Pinks Press Ltd (“PPL”) owned and operated sites, both in the UK and in the international territories in which we operate.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files which are placed on your smart phone, tablet, laptop or other device when you use sites. They are used to ‘remember’ when the same device returns to a site, to track activity, or to identify a user as having coming from another site. Some cookies are used just for the duration of your visit (“session cookies”) and others for an extended period (“persistent cookies”).
PPL sites use cookies and other similar technologies which also store or provide access to information stored in your devices including APIs which permit the identification and tracking of a device. For the purposes of this policy, we use the term “cookies” to include all technology that stores or accesses information on a user’s device all of which are governed by the same legal rules.
We use the following cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our site. These essential cookies are always enabled because our site won’t work properly without them. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our site. You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings but you may then not be able to access all or parts of our site.
- Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our site. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example your location).
Consent for cookies
In most cases cookies cannot be deployed without consent. When you first enter our website, you will be shown a pop-up cookie notification banner. The banner informs the user that our site uses cookies and provides options on whether to accept all cookies, to reject all (except ‘essential’ ones) or to accept only certain types. When you click “Accept all Cookies”, you are consenting to non-essential cookies unless you have disabled them using your browser settings. An explanation of what we mean by the terms essential and non-essential cookies is set out in the section below.

In exceptional cases, cookies may be retained for longer but only if required and following appropriate internal sign off.

You do not have to consent to non-essential cookies but without consenting to these you will not be able to use our sites.
If you have already consented to cookies on our website, you can change your preferences at any time by clearing cookies from your browser and re-entering the site. This will cause the pop-up banner to re-display, and you can choose to use the site(s) without consenting to cookies.
How to disable cookies via your browser settings?
