Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17 August 2026
At Samantha Moller-Bowden, we use cookies and similar technologies to make our website work properly, keep it secure, understand how visitors use the site and, where you choose to allow them, improve your experience.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them and how you can control your cookie preferences.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website.
They allow a website to remember information about your visit and can be used for things such as keeping a shopping basket working, maintaining website security, remembering preferences and understanding how visitors use a website.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and do not require your consent. Other cookies, such as analytics cookies, require your consent before they are used.
2. How we use cookies
Our website is built and hosted using Wix. Wix uses cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the security, stability and operation of the website.
We currently use the following categories of cookies:
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to operate properly.
They may be used to:
-
maintain website security;
-
protect against fraudulent or malicious activity;
-
keep the website functioning correctly;
-
maintain your browsing session;
-
support essential website functions; and
-
enable features such as shopping and checkout.
Because these cookies are necessary for services you have requested, they may be used without your consent. For example, cookies that are necessary to maintain a shopping basket or provide website security can fall within the exemption for strictly necessary cookies.
Our current website scan identified a number of essential Wix cookies, including cookies such as XSRF-TOKEN, SSR-caching, bSession, svSession and related Wix security/session cookies. The exact cookies used may change as Wix updates its platform or as we add or remove website functionality.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics cookies to help us understand how visitors use our website.
These may tell us things such as:
-
which pages are visited;
-
how visitors navigate around the website;
-
how the website is performing; and
-
how we can improve the website and the experience we provide.
Analytics cookies are non-essential and are only used where you have given your consent through our cookie banner.
Our current cookie scan identified analytics cookies associated with our website and its services. The specific cookies and their duration may change as services are updated.
Functional and payment cookies
Some parts of our website use third-party services to provide particular functionality, including secure payment processing.
We offer customers the option to pay using PayPal or by debit or credit card through the payment services available at checkout.
Our cookie scan identified a PayPal cookie associated with payment functionality on the site. PayPal may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with its services, including to enable functionality, support security and help prevent fraud. PayPal has its own privacy and cookie practices, which apply when you interact with its services.
When you place an order through our website, payment information is processed securely by the relevant payment provider. We do not ourselves store customers' full payment card details. Payment providers may process payment and transaction information in accordance with their own privacy policies, security requirements and applicable payment-card standards. Wix states that its payment services use PCI-DSS-compliant systems for handling card information.
We receive the information necessary to process and fulfil your order, such as confirmation of payment, transaction details and the billing and contact information required for the transaction.
For more information about how PayPal handles personal information and cookies, please see PayPal's Privacy Statement.
3. Consent and your choices
When you first visit our website, our cookie banner gives you the option to:
Accept — allow non-essential cookies.
Reject non-essential — refuse non-essential cookies while allowing cookies that are necessary for the website to function.
You are not required to accept non-essential cookies in order to browse our website.
Our cookie consent mechanism is provided by Consentik and is used to record your choice and prevent non-essential cookies from being used where you have declined them.
UK privacy rules require consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary, and consent should involve a clear positive action rather than simply continuing to browse the website.
4. Changing your cookie preferences
You can also control cookies through your web browser.
Most browsers allow you to:
-
view cookies stored on your device;
-
delete cookies;
-
block cookies;
-
allow cookies; or
-
block third-party cookies.
Please be aware that blocking or deleting essential cookies may affect how our website works, including features such as shopping baskets, checkout and payment.
5. Third-party cookies
Some services used on our website may place cookies or use similar technologies independently of us.
These may include services provided by:
-
Wix, which hosts and operates our website; and
-
PayPal, where PayPal payment functionality is used.
Third-party providers may update the cookies they use from time to time. Their own privacy policies explain how they process information collected through their services.
Wix notes that additional cookies can be introduced when websites use business solutions, third-party apps or integrations, so our cookie list may change as the website develops.
6. How long cookies remain on your device
Some cookies are session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.
Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
The length of time a cookie remains depends on its purpose and the service that sets it. Cookie durations may change when Wix or another third-party service updates its technology.
7. Keeping this policy up to date
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time if:
-
we add or remove website features;
-
we introduce new services or integrations;
-
the cookies used by Wix or our other service providers change; or
-
privacy and cookie requirements change.
We recommend checking this page occasionally for the latest information.
8. Privacy Policy
Our Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies. For more information about how we collect, use and protect your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
