The Company will use cookies to keep track of what you have in your basket and to remember you when you return to the website. They also enable security measures used to protect your and other users’ accounts, including preventing the fraudulent use of login credentials. Certain cookies also analyse the performance of the website.

Managing Your Preferences
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Always Active

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and may not be switched off in our systems. They are normally only set in response to actions made by the user and those responses are a request for services, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can alter your browser settings to block or alert you about these cookies, but it may impact or prevent the operation of some or all parts of the services. These cookies do not store any identifiable personal data.

Performance Cookies
Optional

These cookies allow the Company to count visits and traffic sources to measure and improve the performance of the website. They help identify which pages are popular and see how visitors move around the website. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, the Company will not know when you have visited the website and the Company will be unable to monitor its performance.

Functional Cookies
Optional

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. The cookies may be set by the Company or by third-party partners or affiliates whose services have been added to our website or services. If you do not permit these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Targeting Cookies
Optional

These cookies may be set through the website by advertising partners or affiliates. They may be used by those partners or affiliates to build a profile of your interests and to show adverts on other sites that may be relevant to you. They do not directly store personal data but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not permit these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

This Cookie Notice explains how WineCard (“WineCard ”, “we“, “us“) and “ours“) use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at “Website“). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are cookies?

In common with most websites, https:// WineCard.co.uk/ uses “cookies”. Cookies are small snippets of text that are stored on your computer. When you request a page from our website, the cookies are sent to our web server, and when we send a page back to you our server may add to or change these cookies. Without cookies, we would not be able to know that you are the same person from page to page.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case,  WineCard ) are called “first-party cookies”. Only the website owner can access the first-party cookies it sets. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Additionally, we have partnerships with some carefully chosen third-party services which involve including some code on our website, for example, so that we can measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities, enable you to share content with your friends or log in via a social media account. In some cases, these partners may also store and retrieve their own cookies on your computer. Cookies set by websites other than https:// WineCard.co.uk/ are known as “third-party cookies”.

Why do we use cookies?

Suburban Bottle Store
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. We use cookies for a variety of reasons, such as to remember the contents of your basket. We also use analytics software, which allows us to track and measure patterns of behaviour so that we can improve our website. In the table below we list details of all the software we use for this purpose.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Website. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will often impair their functioning.

 

How can you control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through our cookie consent tool, which you can access here:

Manage Cookies Settings

or by changing your cookie settings in the cookie table above.

You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

How often will we update this Cookie Notice?

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please, therefore, re-visit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
