1.  Introduction

   G69 London Dry Gin (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (“Site”) to improve your user experience, analyze trends, and deliver relevant content or advertisements. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. By continuing to browse our Site, you consent to our use of cookies unless you have disabled them via your browser or other tools.

2. What Are Cookies?

   Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit certain websites. They help the site remember information about your visit, like your preferred language and other settings, so that your next visit is more convenient. There are various types of cookies, serving different purposes—some are strictly necessary for site functionality, while others are used for analytics and advertising.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

   • Strictly Necessary Cookies

     These cookies are essential for the operation of our Site. Without them, certain services like shopping cart functionality or secure logins may not be provided. They do not store any personally identifiable information, and we do not require user consent to place them (in most jurisdictions).

   • Functional Cookies

     Also known as “preferences” cookies, these remember your Site preferences (like language, region, or repeated visits). They enhance the user experience by personalizing content, but are not strictly necessary. Disabling them may affect some functionalities.

   • Performance and Analytics Cookies

     These cookies collect information about how users navigate our Site, for example the pages visited or the links clicked. We use tools like Google Analytics to understand traffic patterns, identify errors, and measure the performance of our marketing campaigns. The data collected is aggregated and mostly anonymous, but may sometimes be linked to unique identifiers to better understand returning visitor behavior.

   • Advertising and Marketing Cookies

     These cookies record your online activities (e.g. pages visited, searches, clicks) to display ads more relevant to your interests. They may also measure the effectiveness of our ad campaigns. If you interact with any G69 marketing on third-party platforms, cookies can connect your browsing data to that platform’s user database to display targeted ads. We strive to respect user privacy while delivering relevant content.

   • Social Media Cookies

     If we embed social media plugins or use tools like the Facebook Pixel, those platforms may set cookies to track user interactions. They can be used to measure the effectiveness of social media ads or allow you to share content with your network. These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.

4. Third-Party Cookies

   Some cookies are placed by third parties on your device when you visit our Site. For example:

   • Analytics Providers: Google Analytics, which processes data to deliver insights on visitor behavior.
   • Advertising Partners: Ad networks and retargeting platforms, such as Google Ads or Facebook Pixel, which facilitate targeted advertising campaigns.
   • Content Providers: Embedded content from other sites (e.g. YouTube videos) may place cookies on your device.

   We do not control these third-party cookies. We encourage you to review their cookie/privacy policies for details on how they manage data.

5. Managing and Controlling Cookies

   1. Consent Management: In regions where explicit consent is required, our Site displays a cookie banner upon your first visit, allowing you to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences. Your choices are stored, and you can update them at any time via a link or button (e.g. “Cookie Settings”).
   2. Browser Settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Consult your browser’s “Help” or “Settings” menu for instructions. Be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality (like remembering your cart).
   3. Opt-out Tools: Some third-party services offer their own opt-out or preference managers. For instance, Google provides a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Others may be found at industry websites like YourOnlineChoices.eu (in the EU) or AboutAds.info (in the US).
   4. Do Not Track (DNT): Our Site currently does not respond to DNT signals from browsers. If a worldwide DNT standard emerges, we will evaluate and update our practices accordingly.

6. Data Protection and Privacy

   Where cookies collect personal data (or data that can be combined to identify you), our Privacy Policy applies. We take appropriate measures to safeguard such data, including secure storage and limiting access. If you have questions about how these tracking tools process your personal data, please email us at legal@Gin69.uk.

7. Retention Periods

   Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent cookies (stored until they expire or you remove them). Each cookie has its own expiry time, which may be a few minutes or multiple years, depending on its purpose. For example, analytics cookies might last several months so we can track returning visitor behavior, while strictly necessary cookies may expire when you end your session.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

   We may modify this Cookie Policy as we add new features, adopt new technologies, or if legal requirements change. When we make major changes, we will inform you via the Site or email notification, where required by law. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed of how we use cookies.
