Last updated: August 5, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how HAVEN & HEARTH (operated by Lindsay S.) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them in compliance with UK privacy laws (UK GDPR and PECR).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Store.
The specific types of cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform include:
-
Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website (hosted on Wix) and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas, maintaining your shopping cart, and processing payments.
-
Functional Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make when you use the site (such as language preference or region) to provide enhanced, personalized features.
-
Analytical / Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used, how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you.
-
Marketing / Targeting Cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests (e.g., social media tracking pixels).
3. How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies).
-
Consent Banner / Settings: You can exercise your cookie preferences at any time by clicking on the shield icon / cookie settings widget located at the bottom of our website (managed via Usercentrics). This allows you to enable or disable functional, analytical, and marketing cookies according to your preference.
-
Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
4. Third-Party Services
Our online store is built on the Wix platform and may utilize trusted third-party services (such as payment gateways, shipping providers, analytics providers, and marketing platforms like TikTok, Pinterest, or Meta) that set their own cookies to ensure proper transaction handling and analytical measurement.
