Cookie Policy

last Updated: 18 May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Fidmat24 Tech Market uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we collect and process your personal data.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, making your next visit easier and the website more useful.

Cookies are categorised by duration:

  • Session cookies — temporary files that expire when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies — files that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them

Cookies are also categorised by origin:

  • First-party cookies — set by our website and readable only by us
  • Third-party cookies — set by external services such as analytics or advertising providers

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Enable essential website functionality and security features
  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Understand how you use our website and improve your experience
  • Personalise content and product recommendations
  • Deliver relevant advertising (where you have given consent)
  • Analyse website performance and traffic patterns
  • Protect against fraud and ensure security

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies Essential for the website to function. They enable secure login, maintain your shopping cart, process payments, remember cookie consent choices, and help detect fraud. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be refused, though you may disable them via your browser settings (which may affect functionality).

Performance and Analytics Cookies Collect anonymous, aggregated data about how visitors use our website — such as visitor counts, popular pages, and navigation patterns. We use analytics provided by Shopify and may use additional tools. Where third-party services are involved or personal data is processed, we obtain your consent before placing these cookies.

Functional Cookies Allow the website to remember your choices and provide enhanced personalised features — such as language or currency preferences, recently viewed items, and display settings. These require your consent. If not allowed, some enhanced features may not work properly.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies Deliver advertisements relevant to your interests, limit repeat ad exposure, and measure campaign effectiveness. These are often set by third-party advertising partners (such as Google Ads or Meta). They require your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Our website is hosted on Shopify, which may set cookies for payment processing, shopping cart functionality, authentication, fraud prevention, and analytics. See Shopify's cookie policy at https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.

We may also work with third-party payment processors and analytics providers. Third parties process data according to their own privacy policies.

5. Cookie Consent and Your Choices

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear, allowing you to:

  • Accept all cookies (including optional ones)
  • Reject non-essential cookies (so only strictly necessary cookies are used)
  • Customise your preferences by category

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by:

  • Clicking "Cookie Settings" in the website footer
  • Accessing the preference centre via the cookie banner
  • Managing cookies through your browser settings

Your updated preferences apply immediately to future cookies. Cookies already placed on your device will remain until they expire or you delete them manually.

6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

7. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

We process cookies in accordance with UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

  • Strictly necessary cookies — used on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing a functional and secure website (no consent required)
  • Performance, functional, and marketing cookies — used only with your explicit consent, which may be withdrawn at any time
