This Cookie Policy explains how AB nails (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar
technologies on our website https://abnails.co.uk (“Website”).
We use cookies to make our Website work, to understand how it is used and, if enabled, to
improve our services and marketing. This Policy tells you what cookies are, which types we use,
and how you can control them.
For more information about how we use your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.


1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you
visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain
information about you, such as:
- your settings and preferences;
- what you put in your shopping cart;
- which pages you visit and for how long.
We also use similar technologies that work like cookies, such as:
- tracking pixels;
- scripts and tags;
- local storage or session storage in your browser.
In this Policy, we call all of these “cookies”.


2. Who sets the cookies?
Cookies on our Website can be:
- First-party cookies – set directly by AB nails (our Website).
- Third-party cookies – set by other companies (for example analytics or advertising providers)
when their content or code is loaded on our Website.
We remain responsible for making sure cookies are used in line with UK law and that you have
clear, simple information and choices.


3. Types of cookies we use
We group the cookies we use into these categories:
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to work properly and for you to:
- move around the site;
- use basic features such as the cart and checkout;
- keep your session secure when you log in.
Without these cookies, the Website and basic services would not function correctly.
Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent, but we still explain
them here.
3.2 Functional (preference) cookies
These cookies remember your choices and settings, such as:
- language or region;
- items left in your cart;
- other preferences that make your experience easier.
If you disable them, some parts of the Website may not remember your preferences and may not
work as smoothly.
3.3 Analytics / performance cookies
If enabled, these cookies help us understand how visitors use our Website, for example:
- which pages are visited most often;
- how visitors move around the site;
- if there are errors or slow pages.
We use this information to improve our Website, products and services. These cookies may be set
by us or by third-party analytics providers (for example, Google Analytics) if we choose to use
them.
These cookies are not essential and are only used with your consent.
3.4 Advertising and social media cookies
If enabled, these cookies may:
- help us show more relevant ads to you on other websites or social platforms;
- measure how well our ads and campaigns perform;
- allow you to share content via social media buttons (for example Instagram or Facebook).
These cookies are usually set by third parties (such as Meta, Google or other advertising and
social platforms) when we use their tools on our Website.
These cookies are not essential and are only used with your consent.


4. Cookie consent on our Website
When you first visit our Website, you may see a cookie banner/pop-up which:
- informs you that we use cookies;
- gives you a choice to accept or reject non-essential cookies (such as analytics and
advertising);
- may offer more detailed settings.
You can:
- Accept all – including optional cookies (for example analytics, ads, social media);
- Reject non-essential cookies – we will only use strictly necessary cookies;
- Manage settings – choose which categories you accept.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by:
- using the cookie settings link or icon (if available on the Website); and/or
- changing your browser settings (see Section 6 below).
We will not set non-essential cookies unless and until you give us consent, where this is
required by law.


5. Examples of cookies we may use
The exact cookies used on our Website may change over time as we update or improve our
services. However, examples include:
- Essential / functional cookies:
- to remember items in your cart and process checkout;
- to keep you logged in during your visit;
- to remember your basic preferences.
- Analytics cookies (if enabled):
- to collect anonymised or pseudonymised information about visitor numbers, pages visited,
time spent and errors;
- to help us understand which content is most useful.
- Advertising / social media cookies (if enabled):
- from social media platforms where we may embed content or use their pixels;
- from ad networks used to measure and improve campaigns.
If you want a current, detailed list of cookies used on our Website (including names,
providers, type and duration), you can contact us at info@abnails.co.uk.


6. How to control and delete cookies
You have several options to manage cookies on your device:
6.1 Via our Website (if settings are available)
If our Website provides a cookie banner or settings panel, you can:
- accept or reject non-essential cookies;
- change your choices at any time.
Your preferences may need to be set separately for each browser or device.
6.2 Via your browser settings
Most web browsers allow you to:
- see which cookies are stored;
- delete cookies;
- block some or all cookies;
- set rules for particular websites.
If you block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies), some parts of the Website may
not work properly (for example cart and checkout).
6.3 Opt-outs for third-party tools
For some analytics or advertising tools, you may have additional opt-out options on the
provider’s own website. These options are controlled by those third parties and may change over
time.


7. How cookies relate to your personal data
Some cookies collect or involve personal data (for example IP address, online identifiers, or
information combined with your account). Where cookies involve personal data, we process that
data in line with:
- UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018; and
- our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail:
- what personal data we collect;
- our legal bases;
- how long we keep data;
- your data protection rights.
You can find more about your rights and how to contact us in our Privacy Policy.


8. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if:
- we change the cookies or tools we use;
- the law or official guidance changes.
When we make important changes, we will:
- update the “Last updated” date at the top; and
- where appropriate, show a notice on our Website and/or update our cookie banner.
We recommend that you check this page from time to time to stay informed about how we use
cookies.
