Le-Toots Ltd ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, secure and improve your experience on le-toots.co.uk and any related mobile application or services (the "Services").
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains:
- who we are;
- how to contact us;
- what personal data we collect;
- how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information;
- your rights in relation to your personal information; and
- how to contact us or the relevant supervisory authority if you have a complaint.
1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your device (e.g. your smartphone, tablet or other electronic device) when you use our Services.
Cookies help us recognise you and your device and allow us to store information about your preferences or past actions, including remembering login details, storing items added to your basket, maintaining your session, saving display preferences and facilitating purchases.
For example, we may monitor how many times you use our Services, which parts of the Services you visit, your preferences when viewing content and, where permitted, information about your usage patterns and location data. This information helps us understand how our Services are used and enables us to improve functionality, performance and user experience. Some of this information will be aggregated or statistical, meaning that we will not be able to identify you individually.
Cookies may be:
- First-party cookies – cookies set directly by us through the Services.
- Third-party cookies – cookies set by external providers such as analytics services, payment processors, advertising networks, security providers or providers of embedded content.
For further information on cookies generally, including how to control and manage them, visit the UK Information Commissioner's Office guidance or websites such as About Cookies and All About Cookies.
2. Consent to Use Cookies
We will not place, access or use non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device unless you have given us valid consent. Non-essential cookies include analytics, performance, advertising, targeting and any optional functional cookies that are not strictly necessary to provide the Services you have requested.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are essential to deliver a service you have requested, such as keeping items in your basket, maintaining security, remembering your cookie choices, or enabling payment and checkout functionality.
Where non-essential cookies involve the processing of personal data, we rely on your consent as the lawful basis for that processing under UK GDPR. You can withdraw consent at any time, and withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before it was withdrawn.
You may withdraw your consent or manage your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie preference tool made available through our Services. You can choose to:
- Accept all cookies;
- Reject non-essential cookies; or
- Customise your cookie preferences.
It may be necessary to refresh or restart the Services for updated settings to take effect.
Your cookie preferences are stored using a cookie preference cookie for up to six months, after which you may be asked to renew your choices.

- Process transactions and purchases;
- Remember user preferences;
- Improve website performance and functionality;
- Analyse traffic and usage patterns; and

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Cookie Banner
When you first visit the site, you can:
- Accept all cookies;
- Reject non-essential cookies; or
- Customise your preferences.
Your choices are stored in the cookie_consent cookie.
The cookie banner and preference tool should provide an equally easy way to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Non-essential categories should be switched off by default unless and until you choose to enable them.
If you reject non-essential cookies, we will not set those cookies unless you later change your preferences. If you withdraw consent, we will stop using the relevant non-essential cookies where technically possible, although cookies already stored on your device may need to be deleted through your browser settings.
Browser Settings
You can also block or delete cookies through your web browser settings, including:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Safari
- Microsoft Edge
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Services.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party providers. These providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, depending on the provider and the service used.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place where required, such as adequacy regulations, approved contractual protections or other lawful transfer mechanisms. More information about international transfers is provided in our Privacy Policy.
We do not control all third-party cookies after they are placed by external providers. You should review the privacy and cookie information provided by those third parties for details of how they use personal data and how long they retain it.
7. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page together with an updated revision date.
We may also update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies, similar technologies, third-party providers, consent mechanism or legal requirements change. Where required, we will ask you to renew your cookie choices.
