1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember your preferences, and (with your permission) understand how people use the site or show relevant marketing.
Cookies can be:
Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or
Persistent cookies (stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2) How we use cookies
Adventure Code uses cookies and similar technologies to:
Make the site work (e.g., page navigation, security, shopping cart, checkout)
Remember preferences (e.g., region/language)
Improve performance (e.g., understand what pages are used most, fix issues)
Measure and improve marketing (only if you consent, e.g., understanding the effectiveness of ads)
Under UK cookie rules, we must provide clear information about cookies and get consent for non-essential cookies.
3) Types of cookies we use
A) Strictly necessary cookies (always on)
These are required for the website to function and can’t be switched off in our systems. They’re usually set in response to actions you take, like setting privacy preferences, logging in, filling in forms, adding items to your cart, or checking out.
Typical examples on Shopify-powered sites include cookies that:
Remember your cart and checkout progress
Help keep the site secure and protect against fraud
Enable core site features (e.g., navigation, account login)
B) Functional cookies
These help the site provide enhanced functionality and personalisation—like remembering choices you make (for example, region or language). If you disable these, some features may not work as intended.
C) Analytics / performance cookies (optional)
These help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g., which pages are popular, how people move around the site) so we can improve it.
We only set these cookies if you give consent via our cookie banner/settings.
D) Marketing / advertising cookies (optional)
These may be used to deliver more relevant ads and measure ad effectiveness. They may be set by us or by third-party platforms (for example, when we run ads on social media).
We only set these cookies if you give consent.
4) Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties we use to provide services. For example, because our site is powered by Shopify , Shopify and related apps/features may place cookies needed to run the store and process payments.
If we embed content or use features from third parties (e.g., social media links, video embeds), those providers may set their own cookies too. Where these are non-essential, we will ask for your consent before they are placed.
5) Cookie choices and how to change them
