These cookies do not require consent where they are strictly necessary to provide the website or a feature you have requested.

Performance and analytics cookies
Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website.
They may collect information about:

- the type of device or browser used;

We use this information to understand website performance and improve the website.
We will only use non-essential analytics cookies where the required consent has been provided.

Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices or preferences.
They may remember information such as:
- cookie preferences;
- display or language preferences;
- previous interactions; and

Some functionality cookies may be essential, while others may require consent depending on their purpose.

- protect forms from spam;
- maintain secure sessions; and
- support the availability and integrity of the website.
Security cookies are generally treated as essential where they are strictly necessary to protect the website or provide a requested service.

They may also be used to:
- record whether a visitor arrived through a campaign or advertisement;
- measure conversions;
- limit how often an advertisement is shown; and
- build an understanding of website interactions across different services.
We will not place non-essential marketing or advertising cookies unless you have provided consent where consent is required.

Cookies may be either first-party cookies or third-party cookies.
First-party cookies are set by FlipShip through our website.
Third-party cookies are set by another organisation whose services or technology are used on the website.
Third-party providers may collect information directly from your device and process it under their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Shopify cookies
Our website is hosted and operated using Shopify.

Some Shopify cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate. Other Shopify or connected-service cookies may only be used after the visitor has made the appropriate cookie choice.
Shopify maintains its own information about the cookies used by its services and merchant storefronts. The precise cookies present on the website may depend on the Shopify features, applications and integrations that are active at the time of your visit.
6. Cookie consent
When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie banner or preference tool.
Where consent is required, you can use this tool to:
- accept non-essential cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies; or
- manage the categories of non-essential cookies you wish to allow.
Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent you from accessing the main parts of the website, although some optional features may not function in the same way.
Simply continuing to browse the website is not treated as consent to non-essential cookies. Valid consent requires a clear and positive choice.
7. Changing or withdrawing your consent
You can change or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time.
You may be able to do this by selecting the cookie-preference link or control available on the website.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Changing your preferences may not automatically delete cookies already stored on your device. You can remove those cookies using your browser settings.
8. Managing cookies through your browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.
Depending on the browser, you may be able to:
- view cookies stored on your device;
- delete individual or all cookies;
- block first-party or third-party cookies;

The method used to manage cookies varies between browsers and devices. Please consult the support or settings section of your browser for instructions.
Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the way the website operates. Some features, including forms, preference controls or security functions, may not work correctly if essential cookies are blocked.
9. Cookie duration
Cookies may be either:
Session cookies, which usually expire when you close your browser; or
Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the provider that sets it.
We aim to retain cookies and information collected through them only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

This may include:

Where cookie information constitutes personal data, it will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

The rules governing cookies and similar technologies in the United Kingdom include the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are essential to provide the website or a service requested by the visitor.
Consent is generally required before using cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary.
Where information collected through cookies is personal data, we will also identify an appropriate lawful basis under applicable data-protection law.
