Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Midnight Box (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on midnightbox.co.uk. By continuing to browse our site, you agree to our use of cookies as described here, unless you have modified your preferences through our cookie-consent popup.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function correctly, improve security, and allow site owners to understand how users interact with their services.
2. How We Use Cookies
Midnight Box uses cookies for essential operation, analytics, site functionality, personalisation, security and advertising-related storage categories. Some cookies are required for the website to work; others are optional and controlled by you via our consent system.
We use:
a) Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They support features such as:
-
Maintaining your shopping cart
-
Keeping your session active
-
Basic site functionality and performance
b) Google Analytics
Used to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve performance, content and user experience. These cookies operate only if you allow analytics storage in the cookie-consent popup.
c) Microsoft Clarity
Used to analyse how visitors interact with pages (heatmaps, anonymous behavioural insights). These run only if analytics storage is enabled.
d) Cloudflare Turnstile (Security)
This helps protect our forms from automated abuse. It is strictly necessary for security and does not require consent. We do not use Google reCAPTCHA.
3. Cookie Storage Categories
Our cookie-consent module allows you to choose whether to accept the following categories:
Ad Storage
Used for storing information used in advertising.
Ad User Data
Used for sending user data to Google for advertising purposes when allowed.
Ad Personalisation
Used to personalise advertising based on your behaviour and preferences.
Analytics Storage
Used for Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.
Functionality Storage
Used for remembering user choices and providing enhanced features (for example: preferred language or currency).
Personalisation Storage
Used to tailor content based on your interests or browsing patterns.
Security Storage
Used for essential security features such as Cloudflare Turnstile and session protection.
Essential cookies are always active because the website cannot operate without them.
4. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent
We provide a consent popup that appears when you first visit the site. You can choose which categories to accept.
If you wish to change your preferences later, you can click on the "Cookies" button at the lower right of your screen and change your preferences, alternatively you will need to clear cookies in your web browser. Once cleared, the consent popup will reappear when you revisit the site, allowing you to update your choices.
Here is a guide on how to clear cookies if you are unsure how to do it. Guide to clear cookies and cache.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from third-party providers (Google and Microsoft) when permission is granted for analytics or advertising-related categories. These providers may store data outside the United Kingdom or European Union.
