This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how Hatton Garden Jewellers (operated by Teksyte LTD) uses them on the Hatton Garden Jewellers website (the "Service"), the purposes for which they are used, and your choices regarding their use. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies let the website recognise your device across requests, remember your preferences and provide analytics on how the site is used. "Similar technologies" include local storage, session storage, pixels, web beacons and browser fingerprinting — we group all of these under "cookies" for simplicity.
First-party cookies are set by Hatton Garden Jewellers itself. Third-party cookies are set by other organisations (such as analytics providers) whose services are integrated into the page you are visiting.
We set cookies in compliance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) as amended, and with Article 6 UK GDPR where a cookie involves processing of personal data. Specifically:
We use Google Consent Mode v2 in advanced mode. Before you click "Accept All" on our cookie banner, GA4 sends only cookieless aggregate signals (no _ga or _ga_<ID> cookies are set on your device, no personal data is processed). Google’s conversion-modelling estimates aggregate trends from these signals at the report level only, with no individual identification.
After you click "Accept All", the analytics cookies listed below are set and full GA4 tracking begins. After you click "Essential Only", no analytics cookies are set; the cookieless aggregate signals continue but cannot identify you individually.
The table below lists every cookie (and equivalent technology) we set, including purpose, provider, duration and category. We audit this table quarterly.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| kronos_access | First party | Holds the authenticated session for listing owners / admin access. | Session | Essential |
| kronos_refresh | First party | Rotates the access token without requiring re-login. | Session | Essential |
| teksyte_cookie_consent | First party | Stores your cookie-consent choice so we do not re-ask on every page. | 13 months | Essential |
| theme / ui-prefs | First party | Remembers dark/light theme and UI preferences. | 12 months | Functional |
| _ga, _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics 4 | Aggregate visitor analytics (pageviews, bounce rate, device mix) with IP anonymisation enabled. | Up to 2 yrs | Analytics |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users for the 24-hour session window. | 24 hours | Analytics |
| _gat_UA-<ID> | Google Analytics | Throttles request rate to the analytics endpoint. | 1 minute | Analytics |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot-mitigation and DDoS protection. | 30 minutes | Essential |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Proof-of-work challenge token for visitors who have passed a bot check. | 30 days | Essential |
Cookies marked Essential cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. All other categories default to opt-in.
Essential cookies. Required for the Service to function correctly — to remember that you are logged in, to record your cookie-consent choice, and to route traffic through our DDoS-protection layer. These cannot be switched off.
Functional cookies. Remember your non-essential preferences such as theme, language, or collapsed/expanded sidebar. Set only after you consent.
Analytics cookies. Provide aggregate metrics (pageviews, bounce rate, device mix) that help us improve the Service. We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation and 14-month retention. We do not use analytics cookies to build personal profiles or for advertising targeting. Set only after you consent.
Marketing cookies. We currently do not use marketing / advertising cookies that track you across other sites. If this changes, we will update this page and re-prompt for consent.
You can change your cookie settings at any time via:
Sec-GPC: 1 header by refusing to set non-essential cookies.Please note that disabling essential cookies may break parts of the Service (for example, you will not be able to log in to an admin account).
The DNT (Do-Not-Track) header is obsolete and inconsistently interpreted by browsers; we therefore do not act on it as a legal signal. We do act on the newer Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal — if your browser sends Sec-GPC: 1, non-essential cookies will not be set even if you have not interacted with the consent banner.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for legal reasons. Material changes will be announced via a re-prompt of the cookie consent banner, and the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. Under the amendments to PECR, the ICO can fine a business up to £17.5m or 4% of annual turnover for unlawful cookie use — so we take consent seriously.
