Cookie and Storage Technologies Policy
Last Updated: January 2026
This policy explains how Reframify Kids uses cookies and similar storage technologies on our website at reframify.co.uk.
What Are Cookies and Storage Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) is a similar technology that allows websites to store information in your browser.
These technologies help us:
- Remember items in your shopping basket
- Keep the website functioning properly
- Process payments securely
What We Actually Use
Important: We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies. We do not track your browsing across other websites. We do not use cookies for marketing purposes.
1. Browser Storage (localStorage)
What it is: Data stored in your browser, similar to cookies but with some differences.
What we use it for:
- Shopping Basket: Stores items you've added to your basket (storage key:
reframify_kids_cart)
Retention: Data persists until you clear your browser data or we remove it programmatically. Basket data is retained to allow you to return and complete your purchase.
Legal Basis: Strictly necessary for the website to function as an online shop. Under UK PECR regulations, this does not require consent as it's essential to provide the service you've requested.
2. Payment Processing Cookies (Stripe)
What it is: Our payment processor, Stripe, may set cookies during the payment process.
Purpose:
- Prevent fraudulent transactions
- Facilitate secure payment processing
- Comply with legal requirements for financial services
Stripe's Privacy Policy: stripe.com/privacy
Legal Basis: These cookies are necessary for contract performance (processing your payment). Under UK PECR, no consent is required as they are strictly necessary to complete your purchase.
3. What We DON'T Use
We explicitly do not use:
- Analytics cookies: We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other analytics services
- Marketing cookies: We do not track you for advertising purposes
- Social media cookies: We have no social media widgets or plugins that set cookies
- Cross-site tracking: We do not track your browsing on other websites
- Advertising networks: We do not work with any advertising networks
How to Control Browser Storage and Cookies
Clearing Your Basket Data
To clear your basket data stored in localStorage:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data > See all site data > Search for "reframify.co.uk" > Remove
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Manage Data > Search for "reframify.co.uk" > Remove Selected
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data > Search for "reframify-kids" > Remove
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data > See all cookies and site data > Search for "reframify.co.uk" > Remove
Impact of Clearing Storage
Warning: If you clear your browser storage, you will lose any items in your shopping basket. You will need to add products again if you want to complete your purchase.
Blocking Cookies and Site Storage
You can block cookies and site data for our website in your browser settings.
- If you block site storage/site data (which includes localStorage), your basket will not persist and you may need to re-add items.
- If you block cookies only, your basket may still work, but Stripe's payment flow may be affected.
We do not use marketing or analytics cookies. Storage is used only to make the site function and to process payments securely.
Mobile Devices
On mobile devices:
- iOS Safari: Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data
- Android Chrome: Chrome app > Settings > Site settings > Storage

- Changes in applicable laws and regulations
- Improvements to our website functionality
When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We recommend checking this page periodically.
If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future: We will obtain your explicit consent before using any cookies or technologies that are not strictly necessary for the website to function.
Legal Basis and Compliance
UK PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations)
Under Regulation 6 of UK PECR, we are permitted to use storage technologies without consent when they are:
- Strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by you (e.g., maintaining your shopping basket)
- Necessary for communication transmission (e.g., session management)
All storage technologies we use fall under these categories. We do not use any technologies that require consent under PECR.
UK GDPR (Data Protection)
The shopping basket data stored in localStorage contains information about frame selections but does not contain personal data until you enter it during checkout. Once you provide personal data, it is processed in accordance with our Privacy Notice.
