Cookie Policy
How DrinksHarbour uses cookies and similar technologies — what they do, which are essential, and how you can control the rest.
About This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how DrinksHarbour Technologies Ltd (“DrinksHarbour”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on drinksharbour.com and the storefronts hosted on our platform.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle your personal data more generally, and our Terms of Service. Because DrinksHarbour is a multi-tenant marketplace, a Merchant’s branded storefront may also set its own cookies under its own notice.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to keep the Services working, remember your choices, understand usage, and — with your consent — personalise offers. Specifically to:
- Keep you signed in and maintain your shopping cart and checkout session
- Remember your language, region, and display preferences
- Secure your account and help detect and prevent fraud
- Measure and improve site performance and search relevance (anonymised)
- Show relevant offers on our site and partner platforms, where you have opted in
Types of Cookies We Use
The cookies we use fall into four categories:
| Category | Purpose | Consent | Duration |

| Preference | Remembering language, region, and display settings | Optional | 1 year |
| Analytics | Understanding how visitors use the site, anonymised and aggregated | Optional | 90 days |
| Marketing | Showing relevant offers on our site and partner platforms | Opt-in only | 90 days |
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by trusted third parties that help us operate the Services. Key examples include:
