Introduction to Our Cookie Policy
PIPSFORALL LTD uses cookies and similar technologies on this website to support secure and reliable operation of our online retail services, to understand how visitors use our site, and to provide a smoother, more personalised shopping experience across our pages, including Home, Product Categories, Featured Products, Ordering Information, Delivery, and Contact.
This Cookie Policy sits alongside our Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions. It explains what cookies are, which types we use, the purposes for which we use them, and the choices available to you in line with applicable UK data protection and ePrivacy rules.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They contain information that is transferred to your device and can be read by the website that placed them or by other websites that recognise the cookie.
Cookies are widely used to enable websites to function, to keep them secure, and to help site owners understand how visitors interact with their pages. For PIPSFORALL LTD, they help us collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour data, such as which pages are visited, how long users stay, and which products or categories attract most interest.
Types of Cookies We Use
On https://pipsforall.site we use a combination of session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
These cookies fall into the following categories:
- Essential cookies – required for the website and our online retail features to operate securely and correctly.
- Performance and analytics cookies – used to measure website usage and improve our layout, navigation, and product presentation.
- Functionality cookies – supporting preferences such as remembered details or location to streamline your experience.
- Advertising and targeting cookies – helping to make any promotional content more relevant to your interests.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off through our on-site tools. They are usually set in response to actions made by you that amount to a request for services, such as navigating between pages, adding items to a shopping basket, or submitting forms on our Contact Us page.
These cookies support functions such as:
- Maintaining a secure connection between your browser and our servers.
- Enabling basic features such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site.
- Remembering your basket or order choices as you move through the Categories, Featured, and Ordering pages.
Without these cookies, core aspects of the shopping experience, including accurate order processing and secure log-in where applicable, would not work correctly.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make so we can provide enhanced and more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party tools integrated into our site to support convenient interaction.
Examples include:
- Remembering previously entered details to streamline future enquiries via the Contact Us page.
- Saving your preferred settings for browsing, such as location-related options relevant to delivery within the United Kingdom.
- Supporting features that make it easier to revisit previously viewed products or categories.
If you choose to disable these cookies, some features may still work, but your overall experience on the site may be less tailored and require you to re-enter certain information when you return.
Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising and targeting cookies may be used to deliver content and promotions that are more relevant to your interests. They can help limit how often you see a particular advertisement and measure the effectiveness of campaigns.
Where we use these cookies, they may:
- Record that you have visited our website and which product categories or pages you viewed.
- Enable us and selected partners to tailor advertising on third-party sites to reflect your browsing patterns on https://pipsforall.site.
- Help track engagement with marketing communications related to our product range and services.
Any use of advertising cookies is carried out in accordance with applicable UK data protection and electronic communications regulations, and where required, is based on your consent.

Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies used on our website are placed by third-party providers that supply services to PIPSFORALL LTD, such as analytics platforms or advertising partners. These third parties may recognise your device when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites or services.

Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies set on your device will be stored for different lengths of time depending on whether they are session cookies or persistent cookies, and based on their specific purpose.
In general:
- Session cookies remain active only for the duration of your visit and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
