- What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They can enable essential website functions, remember choices, support secure payments and help website owners understand how the site is used. Similar technologies that store or access information on a device are treated in the same way for the purposes of this policy.
- How we use cookies
We use necessary cookies to operate the website securely and provide functions requested by visitors, including cookie-preference management, customer accounts, the shopping basket, checkout and payment security.
With your consent, we also use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its performance and content. We do not currently use cookies for targeted advertising.
- Your choices
When you first visit Sittingwell.co.uk, our CookieYes banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or customise your preferences. Necessary cookies are always active because the website cannot operate properly without them. Analytics cookies are used only where you have consented.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings icon displayed on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the website, including the basket, account or checkout functions, from working correctly.

Some necessary WooCommerce or WordPress cookies may also be set temporarily when you use an account, add a product to the basket or proceed through checkout. Their exact names can vary according to the page and the current version of the software. Our live CookieYes preference centre shows the current categories and descriptions detected on the website.
Google reCAPTCHA may also use necessary security cookies on the contact form to distinguish genuine users from automated spam. These may include rc::a, which can persist, and rc::c, which normally lasts for the browser session.
- Third-party providers
Some cookies are set or accessed by third-party providers that support our website. These currently include CookieYes for consent management, Stripe for secure payment processing, Automattic/Jetpack for website statistics and Google Analytics for website measurement. Those providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy information.
Google Analytics is implemented through Google Tag Manager. CookieYes Google Consent Mode is configured so that Google tags are not permitted to fire before the visitor has made a consent choice.
- How long cookies remain
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for the duration shown in the table unless you delete them earlier or change your browser or cookie preferences. Cookie durations may change when providers update their services, so the CookieYes preference centre should be treated as the most current on-site list.
- Keeping this policy up to date
We review our use of cookies and run a new CookieYes scan after material changes to the website, such as adding or changing analytics, payment, form or review tools. We may update this policy when our use of cookies or applicable requirements change.
