This Cookie Policy explains how The IT Workshop (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at theitworkshop.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.

What Cookies Do We Use?

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

  • Session cookies — keep you logged in during your visit
  • Security cookies — help protect against cross-site request forgery
  • Shopping cart cookies — remember items you have added

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled.

2. Analytics & Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular.

  • Google Analytics — used to track page views, session duration, and user behaviour in aggregate. Data is anonymised where possible.

If you disable these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3. Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences or region.

4. Marketing & Targeting Cookies

We may use these cookies to deliver relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our marketing. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use.

At present, The IT Workshop does not run paid advertising campaigns that use targeting cookies. If this changes, this policy will be updated.

Some cookies on our website are set by third parties, including:

  • Shopify — our e-commerce platform, which sets cookies for cart functionality, fraud prevention, and analytics
