Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

​

Cookies are small data files placed on or accessed from your device when you use a website. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage and scripts, may perform related functions. In this policy, 'cookies' includes these technologies where appropriate.

​

2. Who sets cookies

​

First-party cookies are set through the Spec + Source website. Third-party cookies or similar technologies may be set by services used on the site, such as Wix, Google, Pinterest or PayPal. The exact cookies can change when services are added, removed or updated.

​

3. Cookie categories

​

Essential cookies

​

These are necessary for core functions such as security, fraud prevention, network management, checkout, basket persistence, order delivery and recording privacy choices. The website may not function properly without them. Where the law permits, essential cookies do not require consent.

​

Functional cookies

​

These remember choices or enable enhanced functions. Where they are not strictly necessary, they will be used only according to the preferences offered in the Cookie Settings panel.

 

Analytics cookies

​

These help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and whether errors occur. Wix analytics and Google Analytics may be used when configured. Where consent is required, these technologies will not be activated until you choose to allow them.

​

Marketing cookies

​

These may measure campaigns, limit repeated advertising or help show relevant advertising on other services. The Pinterest Tag and related marketing tools may be used when configured. Marketing cookies will be used only with your consent where required.

​

Payment and third-party checkout technologies

​

A payment provider such as PayPal may use cookies or similar technologies when its buttons, checkout or fraud-prevention services are loaded. Some may be necessary to complete a requested payment; others are governed by the provider and your choices. Please read the provider's privacy and cookie information.

​

4. Current and planned services

​

The website is hosted on Wix and may use Wix Stores, forms, email and checkout functions. Google Analytics, Pinterest tools and PayPal are planned integrations. This policy applies to a named optional service only after it is connected or used on the website.

​

Owner action: After connecting or changing an integration, run Wix/Usercentrics' cookie scan, check the live cookie inventory and update this page. Do not invent cookie names or expiry periods: publish the values identified by the current scan.

​

5. Your choices

​

When you first visit, the cookie banner should allow you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or manage categories. You can change your choice later using the 'Cookie Settings' link in the website footer. Withdrawing consent does not make earlier consented processing unlawful, but it should prevent future use of the relevant optional technologies where technically supported.

​

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. Doing so may affect site functions, basket contents, checkout or saved preferences.

​

6. Cookie retention

​

Some cookies last only for a browser session; others remain for a set period. The current purposes, providers and expiry periods should be displayed in the live Cookie Settings panel generated from the site's cookie scan. We periodically review and remove technologies that are no longer needed.

​

7. Changes and contact

​

We may update this policy when our website, providers or legal requirements change. Questions can be sent to hello@specandsource.co.uk.
