This policy explains every cookie this site sets, why, and for how long, in plain terms — it applies to visitors in the UK, Switzerland, and the EU alike, since this site sets the same small, fixed set of cookies for everyone regardless of where they’re browsing from. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal data more broadly.
1What a cookie is
2Our approach
3Cookies we set
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ytp_session | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in between visits. | Signs you out after 24 hours without activity (30 days at most) |
| ytp_acting_as | Strictly necessary | Remembers which customer account an agent is currently acting as. | 30 days |
| ytp_locale | Strictly necessary | Remembers your chosen display language. | Until browser is closed |
| ytp_theme | Strictly necessary | Remembers your light/dark display preference. | 1 year |
| ytp_fast | Strictly necessary | Remembers whether “Need it fast?” (Rapid delivery) is switched on in the shop. | Until browser is closed |
| ytp_fcl | Strictly necessary | Remembers whether Insights includes full-container (FCL) orders. | 1 year |
| ytp_bb | Strictly necessary | Remembers whether Insights includes Buy Back (Rapid) orders. | 1 year |
| __cf_bm | Strictly necessary | Set by Cloudflare, which protects this site, to tell visitors from automated bots. It holds no personal details. | 30 minutes |
Because every cookie above is strictly necessary for the site to function (signing you in, keeping an agent’s acting-as-customer session straight, remembering your language, light/dark and delivery or order-list choices, and protecting the site from bots and attacks), none of them require consent under UK PECR, the EU ePrivacy rules, or the Swiss FADP — all three regimes exempt cookies that are indispensable to a service the visitor has actually asked for.
4Not a cookie, but similar: local and session storage
- cookieConsent (localStorage) — stores your choice from the cookie banner (“all” or “necessary”), so we don’t ask again on every visit. Kept until you clear your browser’s site data or change your choice (see section 6).
- analyticsSessionId (sessionStorage) — a random id grouping the page views/searches in one browser tab together, so we can tell how long a visit lasted. Only ever created if you’ve chosen “Accept all” — see section 5 — and cleared automatically when you close the tab.
5Optional: first-party usage analytics
- tied to your account only while you’re signed in;
- never shared with advertisers, ad networks, or any other third party;
- used only to understand and improve how the site is used; and
- off entirely if you choose “Reject non-essential”.
6Managing your choice
You can also block or delete cookies entirely through your browser’s own settings, though doing so for the strictly-necessary cookies above will sign you out and reset your language/theme preference on this site.
