Cookies.
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. We keep ours to a minimum: one to remember your cookie choice, one that shows your basket count, and Google Analytics and Meta Pixel cookies only if you say yes.
The cookies we use.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | Lasts | When it's set |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| al_consent | This website | Remembers whether you pressed Accept or No thanks, so we don't keep asking. | 6 months | When you make your choice. The site needs it to respect your choice. |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells one visitor from another, so we can count visits without knowing who you are. | 2 years | Only after you press Accept. |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Keeps track of your current visit. The * is our Google Analytics ID. | 2 years | Only after you press Accept. |
| _fbp | Meta Pixel | Gives your browser a unique ID so Meta can measure visits from Facebook and Instagram and any adverts we run there. | 90 days | Only after you press Accept. |
| al_basket | Our ordering system, order.anchorlogs.co.uk | Holds only the number of items in your basket, so the Basket button on this site can show it. Nothing else. | 30 days | When you add something to your basket in our shop. |
The Google Analytics times are Google's defaults. Google notes that some browsers delete cookies sooner if you don't come back.
Your choice.
When you first visit, our cookie bar asks if you're happy for us to use Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel, with an Accept button and a No thanks button side by side. Until you press Accept, neither of them loads, so no analytics or Meta cookies are set. The basket cookie isn't used for tracking: it's only there so the Basket button shows the right number.
Changing your mind.
Use the Cookie settings link at the foot of any page to change your choice at any time. If you switch analytics off after accepting, we stop loading Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel. To remove cookies already saved, clear them in your browser's settings.
Our shop's cookies.
Our shop at order.anchorlogs.co.uk sets a few more cookies it needs to work, to remember your basket and keep you signed in. It uses no advertising, tracking or analytics cookies. Global Payments sets its own cookies on its payment page to take your payment securely. The details are in the shop's privacy notice.
For everything else about how we use your information, see our privacy notice.
