Cookie Policy
Overview
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, items in your cart, or whether you have previously consented to cookies. Cookies do not contain personal information on their own.
Who sets cookies on kcosonline.com?
kcosonline.com is built on Shopify. The cookies active on our site are set by Shopify (our platform provider), Google Analytics (traffic and behaviour analysis), and KCOS directly. We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies at this time. If this changes, this policy will be updated and your prior consent will be requested.

Your choices
How do I manage my cookie preferences?
When you first visit kcosonline.com, you will be shown a cookie consent banner managed by Pandectes GDPR. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies at that point. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the consent banner again.
Can I disable cookies through my browser?
Yes. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the site — your cart, checkout, and session may not work correctly.
Google Analytics opt-out
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by declining analytics cookies in our consent banner, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Legal
Legal basis for cookie use
Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of legitimate interest. Analytics cookies are placed only with your prior consent, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent national laws.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be published on this page with an updated date. If significant changes are made that require fresh consent, the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit.
