Cookie Policy

Last updated: 28 July 2026

1. Who we are

This website, maisondelapatte.com, is operated by Maison de la Patte, a luxury pet boutique based in London, United Kingdom. For any question relating to this policy or your personal data, please write to us at contact@maisondelapatte.com.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs) achieve the same purposes and are treated as “cookies” for the purposes of this policy. We use both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by our service providers).

3. The categories we use

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we only place non-essential cookies with your prior consent.

  • Strictly necessary. Required for the site to function — basket, checkout, session security, load balancing and recording your cookie choice. Legal basis: legitimate interest; no consent required.
  • Preferences. Remember choices such as region, language and previously viewed items. Legal basis: consent.
  • Analytics. Aggregate, anonymised statistics that help us understand how the boutique is used and improve it. Legal basis: consent.
  • Marketing. Measure our editorial campaigns and, where relevant, tailor communications on partner platforms. Legal basis: consent.

4. Third parties

Some cookies are placed by trusted partners who help us operate the Maison, including Shopify (checkout and cart), our hosting provider, and — where you consent — analytics and advertising platforms. These parties act as independent controllers or processors under their own privacy terms.

5. Retention

Your cookie preferences are stored for up to 12 months, after which we will ask you again. Individual cookies have their own lifetimes, ranging from the duration of your visit (session cookies) to several months (persistent cookies).

6. Managing your choices

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening our preference centre below. You may also block or delete cookies through your browser settings; note that strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without affecting the site.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing and to data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new “last updated” date. Please revisit periodically. Questions? See our contact page.
