Cookies
ProductPick does not set any analytics or marketing cookies of its own. Affiliate tracking cookies are only set if you accept them, and rejecting them is as easy as accepting. Here is which cookies may be set and how to manage them.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. A cookie can, for example, help protect a site against misuse or remember that you reached a retailer through a particular link. Similar technologies such as local storage are covered by the same rules.

The provider decides each cookie's name and lifetime, and these may change. The current details are in the providers' cookie policies. None of these cookies contains data that lets us identify you.
The cookie banner
On your first visit to productpick.co.uk a banner appears where you choose which cookies to allow. Non-essential cookies are not set until you have made a choice, and the “Reject all” button is as visible and easy to use as “Accept all”. The banner is provided by Kukie.io, run by Pixadoro Ltd. Your choice is stored for 365 days in the cookie _cc_consent on productpick.co.uk. It contains a random identifier, the categories you chose and the version of the banner you answered, but nothing about who you are. How Kukie processes data is explained in Kukie's privacy policy.
To change your choice or withdraw consent, delete the cookies for productpick.co.uk in your browser (see below). The banner will appear again on your next visit.
What the rules say
Under regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), information may only be stored on or read from your device with your consent, unless it is strictly necessary for the service you have asked for. Tracking and marketing cookies therefore require your consent, given before they are set. Where cookies involve personal data, UK GDPR also applies, and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) enforces both. How your personal data is processed is explained in our privacy policy.
How to block cookies
In your browser settings you can view, delete and block cookies, including third-party cookies only. The site works without them. If you block them, the retailer cannot see that the purchase came through us, but the price you pay is not affected.
