COOKIE POLICY
Last updated 22/05/2026
Hey there!
So, like pretty much every other website out there, we use cookies (not the chocolate chip kind, sadly). These little digital trackers help us make our site work better for you. If you’re using BudgieSales.co.uk (or our mobile stuff), cookies and other tech might be doing their thing in the background.
Quick heads-up: We might tweak this policy whenever we need to. If we do, we’ll just update the “Last Updated” date—no big email alerts or anything. By sticking around on the site after changes, you’re cool with the new rules. But feel free to check back here now and then to stay in the loop.
What’s a Cookie, Anyway?
It’s a tiny file that gives you a sort of ID tag so we can remember stuff—like what you’ve clicked on, if you’re logged in, or what’s in your cart. They make browsing smoother, like a helpful butler who remembers how you take your tea.
The Cookie Menu
Here’s what’s in our cookie jar:
- Ad Cookies: These come from ad folks and help show you stuff you might actually care about (instead of random junk). They track which ads you’ve seen but don’t know who you are.
- Analytics Cookies: Basically our site’s report card—they tell us what’s working and what’s kinda broken.
- Our Cookies: The essentials. Without these, the site might forget who you are mid-click or just act glitchy.
- Personalization Cookies: They remember your preferences, so you don’t have to reset stuff every visit.
- Security Cookies: Bouncers for your data. They keep shady types out.
- Session Cookies: These stop you from getting randomly logged out while you’re browsing. Annoying, right?
Some cookies are from third parties (like social media or payment services). You can block those in your browser settings, but heads-up: the site might throw a tantrum if you do.
Can You Ditch Cookies?
Sure! Most browsers let you delete or block them. But fair warning: parts of the site might stop working smoothly. It’s like turning off Wi-Fi to save battery—doable, but expect some hiccups.
Other Sneaky Tech
We also use invisible pixel tags (like digital breadcrumbs) to see how many folks visit pages or open emails. These don’t collect much—just basic stats. You can’t disable them, but limiting cookies keeps their snooping to a minimum.
That’s the gist! Now go enjoy the site (and maybe some actual cookies).
