CLEAR. TRANSPARENT. IN CONTROL.

Cookie Policy

This policy explains how Where Saints Go uses cookies and similar technologies on our Shopify-powered website, what they do and the choices available to you.

We use essential technology to make the store work and use optional analytics, personalisation and marketing technology in line with applicable UK privacy rules.

Cookies at a glance

Essential cookies keep the shop, cart, checkout and security features working.

Analytics & preferences help us understand and improve the site.

Marketing cookies & pixels support advertising and measurement when permitted.

Last updated: 22 September 2026.

Essential

Needed for core store functions such as cart, checkout, security and consent preferences.

Analytics

Helps us understand visits, journeys and site performance so we can improve the website.

Preferences

Remembers choices or enables optional functionality that improves your experience.

Marketing

Used for advertising, remarketing and measuring campaigns where the required permission has been given.

What are cookies & similar technologies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We may also use similar storage or access technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage or scripts.

These technologies can remember your cart and preferences, keep the site secure, help us understand how the website is used and, where permitted, measure or personalise advertising.

Under UK rules, some technologies can be used without consent when they are strictly necessary. The law also allows limited statistical or appearance-related uses without consent in specific circumstances, provided the legal conditions are met and users are given a simple way to object.

Your choices & control

Where consent is required, our cookie controls are used to ask for it before those optional purposes are enabled.

You can accept, reject or adjust optional categories using the website’s cookie banner or privacy-preferences controls where they are displayed.

You can also delete or block cookies in your browser. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the store, cart or checkout from working properly.

Advertising and profiling technologies do not fall within the statistical exception and require the appropriate consent.

Strictly necessary

These support functions you request and the secure operation of the store. Examples include:

✓ Keeping items in your basket.

✓ Remembering checkout, currency or localisation information.

✓ Fraud prevention and security.

✓ Remembering your cookie/privacy choice.

These technologies may be used without consent where the law allows because they are necessary to provide the service you request.

Analytics & performance

Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use the website and where we can improve it.

Examples include Shopify Analytics and, where configured, Google Analytics.

Limited aggregate statistical analytics may qualify for the UK statistical-purpose exception if all legal conditions are met. Analytics used to identify, profile or link visitors to advertising activity requires consent.

Preferences & functionality

These technologies support user preferences or optional site features, for example remembering choices, language or interface settings.

Some preference technologies may qualify for the UK appearance exception where they are used solely to adapt the site to your choice and the legal conditions are met. Other optional functionality may require consent.

Marketing & advertising

These technologies help us measure campaigns, understand conversions and show more relevant advertising.

Services we may use include Google Ads, Meta and Pinterest. Marketing and remarketing technologies can include cookies, pixels and tags.

Where these technologies require consent, they are only used for those purposes after the appropriate choice has been made.

Core Shopify storefront cookies you may see

Third-party services

Depending on the services active on the website and the choices you make, third parties may place or read cookies, pixels or similar technologies.

Shopify — storefront, checkout, security, analytics and privacy controls.

Google — analytics, advertising and conversion measurement.

Meta — advertising, remarketing and campaign measurement.

Pinterest — advertising and campaign measurement.

Klaviyo — email marketing, onsite forms and related personalisation/measurement.

Trustpilot / Reviews.io — review widgets or trust content where embedded.

Payment and checkout providers may also use technologies that are necessary to complete the payment method you select.

How long cookies last

Some cookies are session cookies and disappear when your browser session ends. Others are persistent cookies and stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Retention depends on the cookie and provider. The Shopify examples above show typical durations for core storefront cookies.

Third-party providers may change cookie names, purposes or retention periods as their services evolve. We review this policy periodically and update it when there are material changes to our use of cookies or similar technologies.

Managing cookies & further information

Cookie preferences. Use the cookie banner or privacy-preferences controls shown on the website to manage optional categories. You can revisit your choices when those controls are available.

Browser controls. Most browsers let you delete or block cookies. If you block all cookies, some parts of the site — particularly basket, checkout, login or payment features — may not work correctly.

Privacy. Where cookie or tracking data is personal data, our Privacy Policy explains how we use and protect personal information.
