Cookie Policy

Last updated: 6 September 2026

This policy explains how The Golden Haus uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, including the essential cookies typically used by WordPress and WooCommerce.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can make a site work, remember choices, maintain a shopping session, help protect accounts and forms, and — where optional services are enabled — support analytics or advertising.

  • Strictly necessary cookies — required for core website, security, account, basket and checkout functionality.
  • Preference cookies — remember choices that improve your experience.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand website usage and performance where analytics tools are enabled and consent has been obtained where required.
  • Marketing cookies — may be used to measure campaigns or personalise advertising if those services are enabled and consent has been obtained where required.

The following are cookies commonly set by WordPress and WooCommerce when the relevant feature is used. Some cookie names contain a unique identifier or hash, shown below with an asterisk.

Not every visitor will receive every cookie listed above. Cookies are set only when the corresponding website feature is used. Plugins, payment providers or other services may also introduce additional strictly necessary cookies, so this list will be reviewed as the store and checkout setup develops.

The Golden Haus theme does not itself install an analytics cookie. If we enable a service such as Google Analytics, the relevant cookies and their purposes will be added to this policy and, where consent is legally required, they will not be set until you have made the relevant choice.

If we enable advertising, social-media or campaign-measurement services, those providers may place or read cookies where permitted. We will identify those services and cookies here when they are introduced and obtain consent where required.

Where the site presents cookie choices, you can use those controls to accept or reject optional cookies. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the shop, basket, account or checkout from working correctly.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the website, technologies we use or legal requirements change. The latest version will be shown on this page.
