Cookie Policy
Last updated: 06 August 2026
1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Caverswall China Ltd (“Caverswall China”, “we”, “us” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit caverswallchina.com.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use personal information more generally.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They allow websites to function, remember information about your visit and understand how the website is used.
We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, scripts and local storage. In this policy, we refer to all these technologies as “cookies”.
3. How we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- operate and secure our website;
- enable features such as the shopping basket, checkout and customer accounts;
- remember your settings and cookie choices;
- understand how visitors use the website and identify opportunities to improve it; and
- measure the effectiveness of our communications or advertising, where these services are enabled and you have consented.
4. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to operate and provide services you request. They may be used for website security, network management, fraud prevention, customer authentication, shopping-basket functionality, checkout and remembering your privacy choices.
Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, they cannot normally be switched off through our cookie controls. You can block them using your browser, but parts of the website may then stop working correctly.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. For example, they may remember selected preferences or information entered during your visit.
Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will only use them with your consent.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited, how visitors move around the site and whether errors occur. The information helps us assess performance and improve the website.
These services may include Shopify Analytics and Google Analytics where enabled. Analytics cookies will only be used where you have given consent, except where an applicable legal exemption allows otherwise.
Advertising cookies
Advertising cookies and similar technologies may be used to measure campaigns, limit how often an advertisement is shown and help make advertising more relevant.
These technologies may be provided by advertising or social-media platforms whose services we choose to use. They will only be activated where you have given consent.
5. Shopify
Our website is hosted by Shopify. Shopify uses cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure and improve its platform and to provide features including the shopping basket, checkout, customer accounts, fraud prevention and website analytics.
Some Shopify cookies are strictly necessary. Other Shopify technologies may depend on your cookie choices and the services enabled on the website.
Further information about cookies used by Shopify on merchant storefronts is available in the Shopify Cookie Policy.
6. Google Tag Manager and Google services
We use Google Tag Manager to manage certain technologies used on the website. Google Tag Manager enables other tags to be deployed but does not itself determine how the information collected by those tags is used.
Depending on the services we have enabled and your cookie choices, these tags may include Google Analytics or other measurement services. Non-essential Google technologies will not be activated until you have provided the required consent.
7. First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by our website. Third-party cookies are set by another organisation whose services are used on the website, such as Shopify, Google or another technology provider.
Third-party providers may use information collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
8. How long cookies remain on your device
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the provider that sets it. Strictly necessary cookies are generally retained for the duration needed to provide the relevant service, while preference, analytics and advertising cookies may remain for longer periods.
The current cookies, providers and durations detected by our consent-management system can be viewed through the cookie-preference controls on our website.
9. Managing your cookie choices
When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie banner that allows you to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies.
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time by reopening the cookie-preference controls available on the website. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before it was withdrawn.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of the website, including the shopping basket, checkout or account features.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, service providers or legal obligations change.
The latest version will be published on this page with the date it was last updated.
