This Cookie Policy explains how Carefour Services Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at carefour.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.

We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage. In this policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies”. Cookies may be set by us (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties whose services we use, such as analytics providers (“third-party cookies”). They may last only for your browsing session (“session cookies”) or remain on your device for a set period (“persistent cookies”).

2. How we use cookies and your consent

We use cookies to:

  • make our website function and keep it secure;
  • remember your preferences and settings;
  • understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it;
  • where applicable, measure the effectiveness of our communications.

Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically because the site cannot work properly without them. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), these do not require your consent.

All other cookies (for example, analytics and marketing cookies) are only set with your consent. When you first visit our site, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject these. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time — see Section 4.

3. The cookies we use

The tables below are a template. You must replace these rows with the cookies your live site actually sets. The simplest way to find them is to run a free cookie scan of carefour.co.uk (for example using a consent-management tool or your browser’s developer tools → Application → Cookies) and list each one’s name, provider, purpose, and how long it lasts. Delete any category you don’t use.

Strictly necessary NO CONSENT NEEDED

These cookies are essential for the website to function — for example, to keep the site secure or remember your cookie choices.

CookieProviderPurposeDuration

Functional / preference CONSENT NEEDED

These cookies remember choices you make to give you a more personalised experience.

CookieProviderPurposeDuration
[cookie_name][provider][e.g. remembers your region or display preferences][duration]

Analytics / performance CONSENT NEEDED

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are most visited, so we can improve it. The information is normally collected in an aggregated, non-identifying way.

CookieProviderPurposeDuration
_gaGoogle AnalyticsDistinguishes individual visitors to measure site usage2 years
_ga_[id]Google AnalyticsMaintains session state for usage measurement2 years

The Google Analytics rows are examples — keep them only if you actually run Google Analytics, and remove them if you don’t.

Marketing / advertising CONSENT NEEDED

These cookies are used to deliver content and, where relevant, advertising that is more relevant to you, and to measure the performance of campaigns.

CookieProviderPurposeDuration
[cookie_name][provider][purpose][duration]

If you don’t run any advertising or marketing pixels (e.g. Meta/Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Ads), delete this whole category.

4. How to manage your cookies

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by [reopening our cookie banner / clicking the “Cookie settings” link in the website footer].

Describe how a visitor reopens your consent settings, and make sure that mechanism actually exists on the site. A persistent “Cookie settings” link in the footer is the usual approach.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Note that if you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of our website may not work properly. Guidance for common browsers:

  • Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
  • Safari — Settings → Privacy
  • Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
  • Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security

To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

5. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
