Cookie Policy
Last updated: 7 October 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage used on the Fern Dale Rituals and Fern Dale Keepsakes websites, under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
What we use
We only use storage that is strictly necessary for the Site to work. We do not use advertising, tracking or social media cookies, and we do not use third-party analytics cookies.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basket | Fern Dale (your browser) | Remembers what is in your basket | Until you empty it or clear your browser |
| Cookie choice | Fern Dale (your browser) | Remembers that you have seen this notice and your choice | 12 months |
| Sign-up pop-up | Fern Dale (your browser) | Stops the email sign-up pop-up appearing again | Until you clear your browser |
| Stripe cookies | Stripe | Secure card payments and fraud prevention at checkout | Set by Stripe; see stripe.com/cookie-settings |
Your choices
Because these are all strictly necessary, the law does not require your consent for them, but you can still see and change your choice at any time using Cookie preferences at the bottom of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though your basket and checkout may then stop working.
If we ever add optional cookies (such as analytics), they will be switched off until you choose to turn them on, and this policy will be updated first.
