Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Drainingkneesflo ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on drainingkneesflo.shop (the "Website"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
UK law after Brexit: Since the UK's departure from the European Union, cookie and data protection rules in Great Britain are governed by UK legislation — including the UK GDPR (a standalone version retained in UK law), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) as amended. The EU ePrivacy Directive no longer applies directly in the UK.
Under PECR Regulation 6, we must obtain your clear consent before placing non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device, except where strictly necessary for the provision of a service you have requested. Our cookie banner provides equally prominent Reject and Manage Preferences options alongside Accept, in line with ICO guidance.
1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners.
Similar technologies include:
- Local storage — data stored in your browser that persists after you close the tab (we use this for cookie consent preferences).
- Session storage — temporary browser storage deleted when you close the browser.
- Pixels and tags — small code snippets that may collect usage data (only if you consent to marketing or analytics cookies).
Throughout this policy, references to "cookies" include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our Website, a cookie banner is displayed in compliance with PECR. You can choose to:
- Accept All — consent to all cookie categories (strictly necessary, analytics, and marketing).
- Reject — refuse all non-essential cookies; only strictly necessary cookies will be used.
- Manage Preferences — customise your preferences by category. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the Website to function.
Your consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. We do not use pre-ticked boxes for non-essential cookies. Rejecting cookies is as easy as accepting them.
To withdraw or change consent: clear your browser cookies and local storage for drainingkneesflo.shop and revisit the Website — the cookie banner will reappear. Alternatively, adjust your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies
Blocking all cookies may affect Website functionality. Strictly necessary cookies are required for core features such as remembering your consent choice.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently alter our practices in response to DNT signals, but you can manage cookies through our banner and browser settings.
9. Your Rights
Personal data collected through cookies is subject to the UK GDPR. You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection as described in our Privacy Policy. To exercise these rights, contact clients@drainingkneesflo.shop.
