## 4. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website is powered by Shopify. Cookies and similar technologies may be used by Sleep Design Beds LTD, Shopify and relevant service providers for the purposes described below.
### 4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These technologies are required for important website functions and may be used without consent where legally permitted.
They may be used for:
- Website security.
- Fraud prevention.
- Shopping basket functionality.
- Checkout.
- Customer and approved trade-account sign-in.
- Authentication and account security.
- Remembering privacy and cookie choices.
- Maintaining website sessions.
- Processing orders and payments.
- Protecting restricted trade-pricing and account functionality.
- Preventing misuse of website services.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.
### 4.2 Preferences and Functionality
These technologies may help remember choices you make and provide a more convenient website experience.
They may be used to remember settings, preferences or other functionality that does not form part of the essential checkout or security process.
Where consent is legally required, these technologies will not be used until you have provided the required consent.
### 4.3 Analytics and Performance
Where you give consent where required, analytics and performance technologies may be used to understand how visitors interact with the website.
They may help us understand:
- Which pages are visited.
- How visitors move through the website.
- How website features perform.
- Whether errors or usability problems occur.
- Which parts of the website may need improvement.
We may use this information in aggregated reporting to improve our products, services and website experience.
### 4.4 Marketing and Advertising
Where enabled and where you have provided any required consent, cookies and similar technologies may be used to:
- Measure advertising and marketing activity.
- Understand whether an advertisement led to a website visit or purchase.
- Limit how often certain advertising is shown.
- Build or use audiences for advertising.
- Personalise marketing or advertising where legally permitted.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using our **Cookie preferences** control.
## 5. Shopify
Our online store is hosted by **Shopify**.
Shopify uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the operation, security, checkout, customer accounts, analytics and other functionality of the Shopify platform.
Some Shopify technologies are necessary for the website and checkout to operate. Other Shopify analytics, personalisation or advertising technologies will be controlled by consent where required by UK law.
Where Shopify Network Intelligence or related enhanced Shopify services use non-essential cookies or similar technologies, they will be subject to your consent choices where required.
For further information about Shopify's privacy practices, please refer to Shopify's own privacy information.
## 6. Trade Accounts and Trade-Price Preview
Our website includes separate trade and wholesale functionality.
Cookies, browser storage or similar technical information may be used where necessary to:
- Support approved trade-account sign-in.
- Maintain authenticated customer or company sessions.
- Protect trade-account access.
- Support secure view-only trade-price preview functionality.
- Prevent misuse, automated requests or suspicious activity.
- Apply security and rate-limiting controls.
A trade-price viewing code provides temporary view-only access and does not create an approved trade account or permit wholesale ordering.
Security technologies used for these purposes may be treated as strictly necessary where they are required to provide or protect the requested service.
## 7. Cloudflare and Security Services
We use **Cloudflare** for certain security and technical functions connected with our trade-price viewing-code service and website protection.
Cloudflare or related technical services may process limited device, network, request or security information and may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary to:
- Protect website services.
- Detect suspicious or automated activity.
- Apply security controls.
- Prevent abuse.
- Maintain service availability.
Where a technology is not strictly necessary and consent is legally required, it will be controlled by your cookie choices.
## 8. Payment Providers
When you proceed to checkout, Shopify and the payment providers made available for the relevant order may use cookies or similar technologies for payment processing, fraud prevention, security and service administration.
For eligible retail purchases, third-party payment providers such as **Klarna** or **Clearpay** may also use their own technologies when you choose to use their services.
Those providers are responsible for their own cookies and privacy practices. You should review their privacy and cookie information where relevant.
Klarna and Clearpay are not presented as standard trade-account payment methods. Approved trade customers use the payment methods made available through the trade checkout journey unless another method has been agreed.
## 9. Other Third-Party Services
Our website may use other service providers for functions such as:
- Forms.
- Email communications.
- Authentication.
- Delivery and fulfilment.
- Analytics.
- Marketing.
- Fraud prevention.
- Customer support.
- Website functionality.
These providers may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary to provide their services.
Where a third-party technology is non-essential and consent is required, it will not be used until the required consent has been obtained.
## 10. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Where consent is required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will only be used after you have made your choice through our cookie consent controls.
You can review or change your preferences at any time using the **Cookie preferences** control available on our website.
Changing or withdrawing consent will apply to future use of the relevant technologies. It does not affect processing that was lawful before your choice was changed.
## 11. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to:
- View stored cookies.
- Delete cookies.
- Block all or certain cookies.
- Prevent websites from storing new cookies.
- Manage tracking or privacy settings.
The exact controls vary by browser and device.
Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect important website functions such as your basket, customer account, trade-account sign-in, checkout or security features.
## 12. How Long Cookies Are Stored
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser or end your session. Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
The storage period depends on the purpose of the cookie, the service using it and whether it is required for security, functionality, analytics or another permitted purpose.
We and our service providers aim to retain cookie and similar-technology information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose and legal requirements.
