Introduction
This policy is intended to help you make informed choices by giving you clear, relevant information about the use of cookies on this website.
We use the term ‘cookies’ to refer to cookies and similar technologies covered by the law (such as Local Shared Objects, commonly known as ‘flash cookies,’ and web beacons or pixel tags, including clear GIFs). The information collected may relate to data that could identify you, whether on its own or when combined with other data (such as IP addresses and the domain names of devices used to connect to the website).
This document forms an integral and essential part of our Privacy Notice and is provided pursuant to the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We therefore encourage you to read it alongside our Privacy Notice.
Applicable Law
The use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended, which, except for cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function, requires your consent before cookies and similar technologies are placed on your device.
What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file, usually made up of letters and numbers, that is downloaded onto your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating site on each subsequent visit, or to another site that recognises them. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise your device.
The use of cookies and similar technologies has long been commonplace, as they are important for the provision of many online services. Using these technologies is not prohibited by law, but you must be informed about the cookies a site uses and given a genuine opportunity to accept or decline them.
Types of Cookies
Cookies may expire at the end of a browser session (that is, from the time you open the browser window until it is closed), or they may be retained for longer.
Session cookies. These allow a website to link your actions during a single browser session. They can be used for a range of purposes, such as remembering what you have added to your shopping basket while browsing the site. They can also be used for security when you access services such as online banking, or to support the use of webmail. Session cookies expire at the end of the browser session. Their use is generally limited to transmitting data (made up of random numbers generated by the server) that identifies the session and allows you to browse safely and efficiently. The session cookies used on this site avoid other techniques that could compromise the confidentiality of your browsing, and they are not permanently stored on your device, being automatically deleted when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies. These are stored on your device between browser sessions and allow your actions on a site to be remembered. They can be used for various purposes, including remembering your preferences and choices when using a website (and, in some cases, across different websites).
First-party and third-party cookies. Whether a cookie is first-party or third-party depends on the website or domain that sets it. First-party cookies are those set by the website you are actually visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, and are managed by that third party. This site therefore has no control over third-party cookies and no access to the information they collect. Information about these cookies, their purposes and how to disable them is provided directly by the relevant third parties.
Data Controller
Kitty’s London Ltd (KITTY’S), as indicated in our Privacy Notice, is the data controller and is responsible only for its own cookies, that is, first-party cookies. Third-party cookies are the responsibility of the relevant companies, as indicated in the list below.

Cookie Consent
Some cookies are strictly necessary to enable the site to function correctly (referred to as technical cookies) and do not require your consent, such as those used to ensure that the content of a page loads quickly and efficiently, to distribute the workload between different servers, or to ensure security.
Other cookies may be reasonably useful or important but are not essential, and these require your consent.
This site uses several methods to obtain your consent. You can select the cookies you wish to consent to by using the cookie banner displayed on the site, which sets out the use of cookies other than technical cookies.
Your browser settings are another way to give or refuse consent. You can set your browser to alert you to the presence of cookies, allowing you to decide whether to accept them, and you can refuse all cookies by activating the appropriate setting in your browser. Each browser provides instructions on how to do this. For example, guidance for the major browsers is available here:
Withdrawal of Consent
Consent to the use of cookies can be withdrawn at any time, although withdrawal may affect how the website functions.
