Website use

Information collected automatically

When you use the website, cookies and similar technologies may collect information such as your IP address, browser, device, pages visited, shopping basket activity and how you found the site.

Some cookies are needed for the shop to work. Others may help us understand site performance, marketing or how customers use the website.

Why we use information

Used for clear shop purposes

We usually use your information because it is needed to process your order, reply to you, meet legal or accounting duties, protect the website, or because you have agreed to receive marketing.

This keeps the privacy notice practical: we only ask for details that help us run the shop, support customers, deliver orders, handle returns or keep the website working safely.

Plain-English basis

Orders, records, consent and security

  • Order details are used because they are needed to provide what you bought.
  • Some records are kept because accounting or legal rules require them.
  • Marketing and non-essential cookies rely on consent or a lawful opt-out route where allowed.
  • Security and fraud checks help protect customers, payments and the website.
Orders, payment and delivery

How we use order information

We use order information to process purchases, take payment, send order updates, arrange delivery or click & collect, deal with returns and keep accounting records.

WooCommerce stores order and customer details. Payment information is handled securely by payment providers such as Stripe and Klarna where selected. We do not store full card numbers on our website.

Couriers such as Royal Mail, Evri, DPD or Parcelforce may receive the details needed to deliver your order.

Contact forms

Messages and uploaded files

If you use the contact form, we use your message and any optional upload to reply and help with your enquiry. Uploaded files are sent as email attachments rather than intentionally stored as media library files.

General enquiries go to shop email addresses. Returns or damage messages may go to returns@wye-knot.co.uk. Accepted uploads include JPG, PNG, WebP and PDF files up to 6MB.

Please do not upload unnecessary sensitive information. Only send photos or files that help us answer your question, check a product, or handle a return or damage issue.

We keep contact enquiries for as long as needed to deal with the enquiry, order, return, damage report, dispute or any related legal/accounting record-keeping need.

Emails and marketing

Service emails and optional marketing

We send transactional emails such as order confirmations, payment updates, despatch or collection updates, refunds, cancellations, account emails and customer-service replies.

We may also send WooCommerce email marketing, newsletters, promotional emails, abandoned basket emails and review requests where you have opted in, where you have bought from us and the law allows, or where you can opt out.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us. Order, payment, account and delivery emails are service messages, not marketing.

Cookies and analytics

Cookies help the shop work properly

Cookies are small files used by websites. Some are needed for basket, checkout, account login, security and website functions. Other cookies or pixels may help with analytics, advertising or understanding how customers use the site.

We may use tools such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Google Ads, Meta/Facebook Pixel, TikTok/Pinterest pixels, Microsoft Clarity, Rank Math analytics and WooCommerce analytics.

Non-essential cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, should only be used where you have given consent through the site’s cookie settings. Cookie information in this privacy policy is not a replacement for that choice.
