Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device. Similar technologies include local storage. This page explains how thefurboutique.co.uk uses them, so you can make informed choices about your browsing.
WHAT WE USE
This website uses essential features for browsing and submitting enquiries securely. We also use Google Analytics 4 to help us understand page visits and improve the site. Analytics loads automatically on the live website without a consent banner, unless you have saved a preference to disable it. You can turn Analytics off using Cookie settings in the footer. Disabling Analytics does not affect the contact form or other website features. We do not enable advertising personalisation or Google Signals. Replit development previews are excluded from measurement.
OPTIONAL ANALYTICS COOKIES
Google Analytics uses cookies named _ga and _ga_ZK1ZD5LNC5 to distinguish visits and maintain session information. These cookies can last up to two years, depending on Google’s settings and your browser. They help measure page usage, browser and device information and approximate location. We do not send the contents of enquiry fields to Analytics. Read Google’s cookie information for details. Google may process this information outside the UK.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Pages link to external sites such as Instagram, WhatsApp and the organisations cited in our articles. Once you follow a link, that site’s own cookie and privacy policies apply. Web fonts may be loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address in order to deliver the font files.
MANAGING COOKIES
You can view, block and delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site, including the enquiry form, from working properly. Guidance is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
CHANGES
When you enable or disable Analytics using Cookie settings, we store your preference in your browser’s local storage for up to six months. An existing saved rejection is still respected. Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time to change your preference. Disabling Analytics stops further Analytics measurement and removes its first-party cookies from this site. After a preference expires, Analytics returns to its automatic default. If your browser blocks storage, your choice applies to the current visit but may not be remembered on your next visit. For details of how we handle enquiry information, see our Privacy Policy.
