Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on officialactivistedibles.co.uk, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and perform various functions. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to improve the user experience.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies sparingly and only where necessary. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or any cookies that profile you for marketing purposes. We use cookies solely to ensure the essential functioning of this Site.

We do not use the following types of cookies on this Site:
- Google Analytics or any other analytics or tracking cookies
- Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or any social media tracking cookies
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Third-party profiling cookies of any kind
5. Your Choices and Cookie Control
Because we use only essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the Site to function, these cookies cannot be disabled without breaking the Site's core functionality (such as your shopping cart and age verification). You do not need to give us specific consent to place these cookies under UK PECR, as they fall within the essential-cookies exemption.
You can manage or delete all cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View all cookies stored on your device
- Delete all or specific cookies
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Block all third-party cookies
Please be aware that disabling all cookies may prevent the checkout process and other essential Site features from functioning correctly. For browser-specific instructions, visit www.aboutcookies.org or your browser's help section.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
If we introduce any new cookies in the future, we will update this policy before doing so and, where required by law, seek your consent. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision.
