1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website.

  • First-party cookies, placed directly by Gold Sheds

We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage and device identifiers.

Where consent is required, optional cookies will not be activated unless you make a clear choice to accept them.

7. How Long Cookies Remain

The period for which a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose.

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain until their stated expiry date or until you delete them.

Details about the duration of individual cookies should be available through our cookie settings tool. We aim to retain cookie information only for as long as reasonably necessary for its stated purpose.
