Shell Diamonds
Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ("Shell Diamonds", "we") uses them on [FINAL DOMAIN] domain pending, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Applicable law. We use cookies in line with the EU ePrivacy rules and the GDPR (and, for UK visitors, the UK GDPR and PECR). This means that cookies which are not strictly necessary are only placed on your device after you give consent, which you can withdraw or change at any time.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (such as your basket or login) over time, and can also be used to measure how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage; in this policy we refer to all of them as "cookies".
2. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, the shopping basket, checkout and keeping you logged in. Because they are essential, they do not require consent. Our store runs on WordPress and WooCommerce, which set several necessary cookies of this kind.
Analytics / performance cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed and how people move through the store — so we can improve it. We plan to use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), loaded through Google Tag Manager (GTM). These cookies are only set with your consent.
Functional cookies
These remember choices you make (such as language or region) to give you a more personalised experience. Where they are not strictly necessary, they are set only with your consent.
Marketing / advertising cookies
These may be used to measure the effectiveness of campaigns or to show relevant content. If and when we activate them, they will be listed below and set only with your consent. None active at launch — to be confirmed.
3. Managing your consent
When you first visit the site, a consent banner lets you accept or reject each non-essential category. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by reopening the cookie settings from the banner link, or using the button below.
Consent management platform. Consent is managed with CookieYes, deployed through Google Tag Manager. CookieYes blocks non-essential tags (including GA4) until you consent, records your choice, and lets you reopen your preferences at any time. CookieYes CMP pending installation — activate before publishing.
You can also control cookies directly in your browser settings, where you can delete existing cookies and block new ones. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the store (such as the basket or checkout) from working.
4. Cookies we use
The table below will list the specific cookies set on this website, their purpose and how long they last. It will be completed with the real values once the site is live and a full CookieYes scan has been run.

5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use, such as Google (Analytics / Tag Manager) and, at checkout, our payment providers. These providers process data under their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing the relevant provider's policy for more detail.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or when required by law. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest revision. Please check back periodically.
