1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information about a visit or maintain functions between different pages.
Similar technologies may also be used for website storage, security and session management. In this policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as cookies.
2. How Avelqo uses cookies
Avelqo’s website uses cookies where necessary to operate the online shop and provide requested functions. These may include cookies that:
- remember products added to your basket;
- maintain your shopping and checkout session;
- support customer account and login functions, where used;
- support secure payment and fraud-prevention processes;
- protect forms and the website against misuse; and
- remember essential website preferences.
3. Essential WooCommerce cookies
Our store is powered by WordPress and WooCommerce. WooCommerce may place cookies that are necessary to remember basket contents and maintain an individual shopping session.
| Cookie or pattern | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
woocommerce_cart_hash |
Helps WooCommerce identify when the contents of the shopping basket change. | Session |
woocommerce_items_in_cart |
Helps WooCommerce determine whether the basket contains products. | Session |
wp_woocommerce_session_* |
Assigns an anonymous identifier so WooCommerce can locate basket information for the current visitor. | Typically two days |
woocommerce_recently_viewed |
May support a recently viewed products feature if that feature is active. | Session |
Exact cookie names and durations can change when WordPress, WooCommerce, plugins or website settings are updated.
4. WordPress and account cookies
If you log in to a customer account or use account-related features, WordPress or WooCommerce may use essential authentication, security and preference cookies.
These cookies help keep you signed in, protect the account and remember relevant interface preferences. Their duration depends on the function used and whether you ask the website to remember your login.
5. PayPal cookies
PayPal may use cookies or similar technology when its payment button, checkout service or fraud-prevention systems are loaded or used.
These technologies are controlled by PayPal and may be used to process payments, maintain security, prevent fraud and remember PayPal-related preferences. PayPal’s use of information is governed by its own privacy and cookie information.
6. Contact forms and website security
Essential technical information or cookies may be used when you submit a contact form. This can help transmit the message, prevent spam, maintain website security and detect misuse.
Avelqo currently uses Contact Form 7 to provide its website contact form. The cookies or storage used can depend on the form configuration and any security features enabled on the website.
7. Analytics and advertising cookies
This policy does not state that Avelqo currently uses non-essential analytics or personalised advertising cookies.
If we introduce analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookie technologies, we will update this policy and provide appropriate information and consent controls where required.
8. Managing cookies
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings. The steps differ depending on the browser and device you use.
Blocking essential cookies may prevent the shopping basket, checkout, customer account, payment or other requested website functions from working correctly.
Deleting cookies may also remove basket contents, login status and saved website preferences.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when website functions, plugins, service providers or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
