Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on jcbphone.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal information more generally.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember things about your visit, like what's in your basket or how you found the site.
Managing your cookie choices
When you first visit jcbphone.com you're asked to choose which non-essential cookies you're happy for us to set. You can change that choice at any time using the Cookie preferences link, also available in the site footer. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though the site may not work properly if you block the strictly necessary ones.
Strictly necessary cookies
These make the site work — the basket, checkout, and core browsing. They're set automatically and don't require your consent, because the site can't function without them.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cart | Contains information related to your cart | 2 weeks |
| cart_currency | Used after a checkout is completed to initialise a new empty cart | 2 weeks |

| shopify_pay | Used to log you into Shop Pay when you return to checkout | 1 year |
| _shopify_essential | Contains essential information for the correct functioning of the store | 1 year |
| _shopify_test | Used to check cookie capabilities on your device | 1 minute |
| _tracking_consent | Stores your cookie consent choices | 1 year |
These are set by Shopify, the platform our store runs on. Shopify's full published list is at shopify.com/legal/cookies.
Analytics cookies
These tell us how many people visit, which pages they look at, and where they run into problems. We only set these if you agree.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _landing_page | Shopify | Captures the landing page of a visitor arriving from another site | 2 weeks |

Marketing cookies
These are set by Meta, for Facebook and Instagram advertising, and by Google Ads. They let us measure whether our advertising works and show our products to people who have shown an interest. We only set these if you agree.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _shopify_marketing | Shopify | Contains marketing data for buyer surfaces | 1 year |

| _fbc | Meta | Records the ad click that brought you to our site | 2 years |

Meta and Google act on their own behalf as well as ours where you've consented to marketing cookies — see our Privacy Policy for how that works, and their own cookie/privacy notices at facebook.com/policies/cookies and policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
