Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Karrek Stone uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website.

They are commonly used to make websites work correctly, remember information about your visit, provide shopping and checkout functionality and, where applicable, help website owners understand how their websites are being used.

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others may remain on your device for a set period of time.

2. How We Use Cookies

The Karrek Stone website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

  • operating and securing our website;

  • providing shopping basket and checkout functionality;

  • remembering items added to your basket;

  • processing website orders;

  • maintaining customer login sessions where applicable;

  • remembering certain website or cookie preferences;

  • helping prevent fraud and unauthorised activity; and

  • understanding and improving the performance of our website where analytics or similar services are enabled.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Some cookies are necessary for our website to function correctly.

These may include cookies required for:

  • shopping basket functionality;

  • checkout;

  • processing an order;

  • customer accounts and login sessions;

  • website security;

  • payment processing; and

  • remembering your cookie choices.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website or services you request, they do not normally require consent.

Disabling these cookies through your browser may prevent parts of our website, including the basket or checkout, from working correctly.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may be used to remember choices you make when using our website and provide additional functionality.

Where the law requires consent before these cookies are placed, they will only be used after you have provided that consent.

5. Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics technologies to help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited and how visitors interact with the site.

Where analytics cookies are not strictly necessary, we will request your consent before placing them on your device where required by law.

If analytics services are not enabled on our website, these cookies will not be placed.

6. Payment & Checkout Cookies

When you make a purchase through our website, our payment-processing provider may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary to securely process your transaction, prevent fraud and provide payment functionality.

Some of these technologies may be provided directly by the payment provider rather than Karrek Stone.

The payment provider may also process information in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies.

7. Third-Party Services

Our website is built using WordPress and ecommerce functionality.

Some website features may be provided by third-party services, such as payment processors, delivery services, website-security services or embedded content.

Where a third party provides functionality through our website, that provider may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with its own policies.

We do not control cookies placed directly by independent third-party websites or services.

8. Your Cookie Choices

Where our website uses cookies that require your consent, you will be given an opportunity to accept or manage those cookies.

You can change or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies where this functionality is provided.

You can also control and delete cookies using your web browser settings.

Please be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent important parts of our website from functioning correctly, including the shopping basket,
