Cookie Policy

Last updated: 19 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Plastor Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.plastor.co.uk.

We are required by law to inform you about the cookies we use, what they do, and how you can manage or disable them, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences, past actions, or items you have added to your shopping basket.

Cookies help websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide insights into how visitors use a site. Cookies do not normally identify you personally and we do not collect your name, address, or sensitive personal information through cookies.

Why We Use Cookies

  • Ensure our website operates correctly, including basket functionality and transactional checkout processing.
  • Improve website performance and usability.
  • Understand how visitors navigate our website.
  • Analyse traffic and visitor behaviour to improve content and layout.

Without cookies, essential features of our transactional website—such as adding products to your basket and safely placing an order—will not function.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies (E-commerce & Payments)

These cookies are fundamental to the website’s core e-commerce operations and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable essential functions such as maintaining your shopping basket items as you browse different pages, managing your secure checkout session, and protecting our payment processes against fraud.

Common essential e-commerce and session cookies include:

  • Basket Integrity & State Tracking: Remembers what products you have added to your shopping basket and updates order totals dynamically.
  • Customer Session ID: Holds a temporary, unique code for your browsing session so our system knows where to find your specific basket and checkout data.
  • Payment Gateways (Blink): When you check out, our integrated payment partner, Blink, sets essential session cookies and security tokens. These are strictly required to securely transmit encryption data, process your credit/debit card transaction safely, and prevent fraudulent activity during payment.

2. Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to measure and analyse how visitors use our website so we can improve performance and user experience. The information collected is anonymous and aggregated.

We currently use Google Analytics cookies, which may include:

  • _ga – Used to distinguish unique users.
  • _gid – Used to distinguish unique users.
  • _gat – Used to throttle request rates.

These cookies collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, referring websites, browser type, device type, and approximate location.

Consent for Cookies

When you visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences. Non-essential cookies (such as Analytics) will only be placed once you have provided explicit consent. Essential cookies do not require prior consent as the website cannot physically process an order or maintain a shopping basket without them.

How to Control or Delete Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your internet browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies across the sites you visit:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security
  • Safari: Settings > Privacy

    Please note: If you choose to disable or block essential cookies entirely through your browser settings, our website’s shopping basket and transactional checkout functions will stop working.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that we use for website operations, such as Google Analytics and our payment provider, Blink. These providers operate under their own privacy policies, and we recommend reviewing their respective documents for further information regarding how they handle cookie data.

Data Protection

Any personal data collected through cookies is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not sell or share cookie data for commercial marketing purposes.
