Cookie Policy

Last updated: 14 September 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how August Nook ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on augustnook.com (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and tracking scripts, all referred to here as "cookies".

3. Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies
Required for the Site to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, shopping cart contents, and remembering your cookie preferences. These cannot be switched off and do not require your consent.

Functional cookies
Remember choices you make, such as language, region, or display preferences, to give you a more personalised experience.

Analytics cookies
Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information such as pages viewed, time spent, and traffic sources. This data is aggregated and used to improve the Site.

Marketing cookies
Used to deliver advertising relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners and may track your browsing across other websites.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services appear on our Site, including analytics providers, advertising networks, payment processors, and embedded content such as videos or social media features. We do not control these cookies. Please consult the relevant third party's privacy and cookie policies for further information.

5. Legal basis and consent

Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating the Site. All other cookies are placed only with your prior consent, obtained through our cookie banner when you first visit the Site.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer of the Site. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

6. How long cookies last

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Retention periods vary by cookie and typically range from a few days to 24 months.

7. Managing cookies

In addition to our cookie settings tool, most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Instructions are available in your browser's help documentation. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Site to stop working correctly.

8. International transfers

Some third-party providers may process data outside your country of residence. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of personal data collected via cookies, and to object to such processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date.

Note: This is a general template and is not legal advice. Before publishing, you'll need to run a cookie scan on your site to list the specific cookies you actually set (name, provider, purpose, duration) — most jurisdictions, including the EU under GDPR/ePrivacy, expect that level of detail rather than categories alone. You'll also want a consent management platform that blocks non-essential cookies until consent is given, and a lawyer should review the final text against the jurisdictions you operate in.
