Cookie Policy

This policy describes how Great Names ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. They often include an identifier and may be "session" (deleted when you close the browser) or "persistent" (kept for a defined period). Similar technologies include local storage and pixels; we refer to these together as "cookies" where the effect is similar.

2. How we use cookies

Strictly necessary. We use cookies that are essential for the site to function, for example:

• Admin session — if you sign in to our admin area, we set a secure, HTTP-only cookie to maintain your session. Without it, you cannot stay signed in.
• Security and routing — our hosting stack may set short-lived cookies or use headers to protect against abuse and to route traffic correctly.

These do not require consent under UK PECR in the same way as non-essential cookies, because they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested.

3. Payment and third-party cookies

When you use card checkout, Stripe (and, where enabled, other payment providers) may set their own cookies or use storage on their domains to prevent fraud and process payments. We do not control those cookies; please see Stripe's cookie policy and the relevant provider's site for details.

4. Analytics and marketing

We do not use third-party advertising or analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) on this site by default. If we add optional analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent before setting them.

5. Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site (including admin sign-in and checkout) may not work. For more information, see aboutcookies.org or your browser's help pages.

6. Changes

We may update this policy when our practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the latest version.
