Cookie Policy
Last updated: 4 September 2026
Averne Studios uses cookies and similar technologies to help our website function, understand how visitors use our website and, where permitted, support our marketing activities.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website.
They allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as items in your shopping basket, preferences or interactions with the website.
We may also use technologies similar to cookies, including tracking pixels, scripts and tags.
These technologies can also be subject to the same rules as cookies under UK privacy law.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes.
These may include:
Making our website function correctly
Remembering items in your shopping basket
Supporting the checkout process
Maintaining website security
Understanding how visitors use our website
Improving website performance
Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing
Supporting advertising and social-media campaigns
Remembering your cookie preferences
Not all cookies are used for the same purpose.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for essential functions of our website.
For example, they may support:
Shopping baskets
Checkout
Payment processes
Website security
Session functionality
Remembering privacy preferences
Because these technologies are necessary for a service you have requested, certain strictly necessary technologies may be used without consent where the relevant legal exemption applies.
We will still provide information about these technologies where appropriate.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with our website.
This may help us understand:
Which pages are visited
How visitors navigate the website
How long visitors spend on different parts of the website
General website usage trends
Website performance
Analytics technologies that are not strictly necessary will only be used where the appropriate consent has been obtained.
Marketing & Advertising Technologies
We may use technologies provided by Meta, including technologies associated with Instagram and Facebook, to help us understand the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing.
These technologies may allow us to:
Measure advertising performance
Understand interactions with our website following advertisements
Build audiences for marketing purposes
Improve the relevance of advertising
Where these technologies are not strictly necessary, we will request your consent before using them.
The ICO's current guidance specifically covers tracking pixels, scripts, tags and online advertising technologies in addition to traditional cookies.
Preference Cookies
These cookies may allow our website to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie preferences or other settings.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies and similar technologies may be placed or accessed by third-party services we use.
These may include services relating to:
Website and ecommerce functionality
Payment processing
Analytics
Advertising
Social media
Security
Third-party providers may process information collected through these technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies.
We will only enable non-essential third-party technologies where the appropriate legal requirements have been met.
Cookie Consent
When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to manage your cookie preferences.
Where consent is required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies should not be placed on your device before you have given appropriate consent.
You should be able to:
Accept non-essential cookies
Reject non-essential cookies
Manage your preferences
Consent should involve a clear positive action and should be as easy to withdraw as it was to give.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie controls provided on our website.
You can also control or delete cookies through your web browser.
Most browsers allow you to:
Delete existing cookies
Block cookies
Allow cookies
Block third-party cookies
Clear cookies when you close your browser
Please be aware that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of parts of our website, including features such as shopping baskets or checkout.
How Long Cookies Last
Cookies may be either:
Session cookies
These are generally removed when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies
These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
The length of time a particular cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and the provider responsible for it.
We aim to ensure that cookie and similar-technology retention periods are appropriate for their purpose.
Changes to Our Use of Cookies
Our use of cookies and similar technologies may change as Averne Studios develops.
For example, we may introduce new:
Analytics services
Marketing platforms
Advertising technologies
Website features
Ecommerce services
If our use of cookies changes in a way that affects your choices or requires additional consent, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where necessary, request fresh consent.
The ICO notes that new consent may be required when an organisation's use of storage and access technologies changes.
Cookies and Personal Information
Some cookies and similar technologies may collect or be associated with information that can identify or relate to an individual.
Where this happens, the processing of that information will also be subject to applicable UK data-protection law.
Our Privacy Policy explains more about how Averne Studios collects, uses and protects personal information.
International Services
Some of the third-party services we use may operate internationally and may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where this occurs, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that any relevant transfers and processing comply with applicable UK data-protection requirements.
