Cookies policy
At Slow, we believe in being transparent about everything we do — including how our website works.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and the choices you have.
Slow is a trading name of Dalesbred Ltd (“Slow”, “we”, “our” or “us”). For more about how we look after your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use them.
Some cookies are set by us (“first-party cookies”) and some are set by services we use (“third-party cookies”).
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for four purposes:
Essential cookies
These make our website work. They power your shopping basket, keep the checkout secure, remember your cookie preferences and protect the site against malicious traffic. The website cannot function properly without them, so they don’t require your consent.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are popular, how people find us, and where we can improve. This information is aggregated and doesn’t identify you personally.
Marketing cookies
These help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and show Slow to people who may be interested in our furniture. They are only set with your consent.
Preference cookies
These remember choices you make — such as your cookie settings — so you don’t have to make them again on every visit.
3. The services we use
The services that may set cookies on our website currently include:
- Shopify – our ecommerce platform. Sets essential cookies for your basket, checkout, security and fraud prevention.
- Cloudflare – protects our website against malicious traffic (essential).
- Google Analytics – helps us understand how visitors use our website (analytics).
- Google Tag Manager – manages how our measurement tools load (analytics/marketing).
- Meta (Facebook & Instagram) – measures our advertising and helps us reach people who may be interested in Slow (marketing). See also the Advertising section of our Privacy Policy.
- Klaviyo – powers our email newsletters and remembers if you’ve signed up (marketing/preferences).
- Yotpo – powers our customer reviews (functionality/analytics).
We review the services we use from time to time, so this list may occasionally change. We’ll update this policy when it does.
4. Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit our website, our cookie banner asks whether you’re happy for us to use analytics and marketing cookies.
You can change your mind at any time — clearing your cookies in your browser and revisiting our website will show the banner again so you can make a fresh choice.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. If you block essential cookies, some parts of our website — such as the basket and checkout — may not work.
5. Third-party cookies
We don’t control the cookies set by third-party services. To learn more about how these companies use cookies and the choices they offer, please see their own cookie and privacy policies.
We never sell or rent your personal information.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, the services we use or our legal obligations.
The latest version will always be published on our website, and the “Last updated” date at the top will show when it was most recently revised.
7. Contact us
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
