How Cookie Consent Works
Where no valid consent record exists, the website displays a cookie-preference notice.
The notice may appear:
- After approximately twenty seconds following full page load.
- When the visitor scrolls at least the configured distance.
- When the visitor manually opens cookie settings.
- When a previous consent choice expires.
- When the consent-policy version changes.
The available options are:
Accept All
Enables necessary, preference, analytics and marketing categories.
Reject Non-Essential
Keeps only the technologies required for essential website operation and consent storage.
Customize Preferences
Allows separate selection of preference, analytics and marketing categories.
Essential technologies cannot be disabled through the preference centre where they are necessary to operate the website safely and remember the choice.
How We Record Cookie Choices
When a visitor submits a cookie choice, we may create a server-side compliance record.
The record may include:
- Consent reference.
- Random first-party device identifier.
- Consent-policy version.
- Action selected.
- Essential-cookie status.
- Preference-cookie status.
- Analytics-cookie status.
- Marketing-cookie status.
- Date and time of the decision.
- Consent-expiry date.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Hashed version of the Internet Protocol address.
- User-agent information.
- Page and campaign context.
- Session and request identifiers.
This information helps us:
- Remember the visitor’s choice.
- Demonstrate when and how a choice was recorded.
- Apply the correct cookie categories.
- Investigate technical or security issues.
- Respond to a privacy or consent enquiry.
A consent record is evidence of a browser-level choice. It is not necessarily proof that a particular natural person was operating the device.
Device and Browser Information
When the cookie choice is submitted, the website may collect technical information exposed by the browser.
Browser information
- Browser name and version.
- Rendering engine.
- User-agent string.
- Browser vendor and platform.
- Cookie availability.
- Do Not Track signal, where exposed.
- Global Privacy Control signal, where exposed.
Device information
- General device type.
- Operating system.
- Screen width and height.
- Available screen dimensions.
- Browser viewport dimensions.
- Pixel ratio.
- Colour and pixel depth.
- Screen orientation.
- Touch capability and maximum touch points.
- Processor-thread indication where exposed.
- Approximate device-memory information where exposed.
Language and location-related settings
- Browser language.
- Preferred languages.

The consent system uses a randomly generated first-party device identifier. It does not intentionally use canvas extraction, audio fingerprinting, hidden font enumeration or similar covert techniques to recreate a persistent identifier after browser data is cleared.
Technical values can be incomplete or inaccurate because browsers may limit or alter what they expose.

Our Basis for Using Cookie Technologies
Strictly necessary technologies
Essential technologies may be used because they are necessary to provide a requested website service, protect the website, maintain session functionality, process forms and record a cookie choice.
Optional technologies
Preference, analytics and marketing technologies are generally used according to the affirmative choice made through the cookie-preference interface.
Consent withdrawal
Where consent is the basis, it may be withdrawn through the cookie settings. Withdrawal does not make earlier processing unlawful where it was carried out before withdrawal.
The legal basis for a particular third-party service may depend on how it is configured and the jurisdiction in which a visitor is located.
Third-Party Cookies and Services
Subject to the selected cookie categories, the website may use third-party services such as:
- Website analytics providers.
- Advertising and campaign-measurement providers.
- Payment gateways.
- Embedded video platforms.
- Mapping services.
- Social-media widgets.
- Live-chat or customer-support tools.
- Content-delivery and security providers.
An external provider may receive information such as:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser and device information.
- Page visited.
- Referral and campaign source.
- Interaction or event information.
Third-party services operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. Their retention periods and international-transfer arrangements may differ from ours.
We will update this policy when material third-party services are introduced.
How Long Cookies and Consent Records Are Kept
Retention depends on the purpose and technology.
| Information | Typical retention | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie consent stored in browser | Up to 180 days | To remember the categories selected. |
| Random device identifier | Up to 180 days | To associate the browser with its consent choice. |
| Session identifier | Current browser session | To distinguish the current browsing session. |
| Server-side consent record | For the valid consent period and an appropriate compliance period afterward | To demonstrate the choice and manage privacy enquiries. |
| Security logs | According to operational-security and investigation needs | To detect abuse, investigate errors and protect systems. |
| Third-party analytics or marketing identifiers | According to the provider’s configured retention period | Analytics, attribution or advertising purposes. |
A consent record may be retained after the browser cookie expires where reasonably necessary to demonstrate the historical consent decision or withdrawal.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most browsers provide settings that allow users to:
- View stored cookies.
- Delete selected cookies.
- Delete all website data.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block all cookies.
- Clear local storage.
- Clear session storage.
- Use private or incognito browsing.
Browser settings vary by device and software version.
Blocking all cookies or clearing all website storage may remove saved consent preferences and may affect forms, sessions, payment redirects and other website functions.
Clearing the Glorify Collections browser data may cause the cookie-preference notice to appear again.
Changing or Withdrawing Consent
You may reopen cookie settings and change your selection.
Withdrawing optional consent will:
- Disable future loading of optional categories under our control.
- Record a withdrawal action where the server is available.
- Remove the active browser consent record.
- Cause the preference notice to appear again after reload.
Withdrawal may not automatically delete every third-party cookie already stored. Those values may need to be removed through browser settings or the relevant provider’s controls.
Security of Cookie and Consent Information
We use reasonable security measures intended to protect consent records and associated technical information.
- Secure website connections where supported.
- Server-side input validation.
- Prepared database statements.
- Restricted database access.
- Random identifiers rather than obvious personal identifiers.
- Hashed Internet Protocol references where appropriate.
- Application and server logging.
- Access controls and administrative restrictions.
- Retention and deletion procedures.
No internet or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We review and improve safeguards according to operational risks.
Your Rights Regarding Cookie Information
Subject to applicable law and identity-verification requirements, you may request:
- Information about how your cookie data is processed.
- Access to an identifiable consent record.
- Correction of inaccurate information.
- Deletion where continued retention is not lawfully required.
- Restriction of certain processing.
- Objection to eligible processing.
- Withdrawal of optional cookie consent.
- Information about relevant third-party recipients.
- A complaint review.
Because a browser consent record may use a random device identifier rather than a name, we may need the consent reference or device identifier to locate a specific record.
Rights may be limited where information must be retained for security, legal claims, regulatory compliance or another lawful purpose.
For broader information about your rights, review our:
Privacy PolicyChildren and Cookie Technologies
The website is not designed to use optional advertising technologies specifically to profile children.
