Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Olyinka Lingerie uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit olyinka.com, the categories of cookies we use, and how you can manage your preferences.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve your experience, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage work in comparable ways, and where we refer to “cookies” in this policy we mean all of these.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to keep our store secure, to remember the items in your basket and your preferences, to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it, and — where you consent — to measure and personalise marketing. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the banner shown when you first visit, and you can change your choice at any time (see “Managing your preferences” below).
Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They enable core features such as secure log-in, adding items to your basket, and checkout. Our ecommerce platform, Shopify, sets several of these cookies to operate the store and process orders securely.
Functional & preferences
These remember choices you make — such as your region, or details you have entered — to give you a more personalised experience. Without them some features may not work as smoothly.
Analytics & performance
These help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting information anonymously, for example which pages are visited most often. We use these insights to improve how the site works. Where these are provided by third parties such as Google, they are managed through Google Tag Manager and set only where you have consented.
Marketing & advertising
These are used to measure the effectiveness of our marketing and, where you consent, to show you content that may be more relevant to you across other websites. They are only set with your consent.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services on our behalf. These include our payment providers, Stripe and PayPal, which use cookies to process payments securely and help prevent fraud, and analytics and tag-management services provided through Google. These providers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, and we recommend reviewing them to understand how they handle your data.
Managing your preferences
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through the consent banner on our site, and revisit that choice at any time. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site, including checkout, from working correctly. For general guidance on managing cookies, you may find the Information Commissioner’s Office helpful.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page.
