Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 April 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Covent Garden FX uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners about how visitors use their site.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by third parties (such as analytics providers) are called third-party cookies. Both types can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a set period).
2. Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for the website to function correctly and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, adding items to your basket, or completing a checkout. Without these cookies, core features of the website cannot work.
These cookies do not collect any information that could identify you personally and are not used for marketing purposes. As they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations).
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cgfx_session | Maintains your session as you browse the site | Session |
| cgfx_basket | Stores your basket contents between pages | 7 days |
| cgfx_auth | Keeps you logged in to your account | 30 days |

3. Analytics cookies
With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are most visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and where visitors come from. This information helps us improve the site and the service we offer.
We use privacy-friendly analytics tools that do not share your data with advertising networks or third parties. Analytics data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual visitors. You can opt out of analytics cookies at any time using our cookie preferences or your browser settings.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors for analytics reporting | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state for analytics | 2 years |
