Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Dispo International ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, www.dispo.co.uk. In line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how it is used.

For a broader overview of how we protect your personal data, please read this policy alongside our main Privacy Policy page.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, recognize your preferences, keep your shopping cart intact, and provide analytical data to website owners.

2. How We Manage Your Consent

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner.

  • Active Consent: Non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing) will not be placed on your device unless you actively click "Accept" or turn them on. Pre-ticked consent boxes or implied consent through continued browsing are not used on our site.

  • Reject Option: You have the absolute right to refuse non-essential cookies via our banner by clicking "Reject".

  • Granular Control: You can adjust your preferences at any time to selectively allow or block specific categories of cookies (e.g., opting into functional cookies but opting out of analytics).

3. The Categories of Cookies We Use

We group our cookies into categories depending on their function and purpose:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Exempt from Consent)

These cookies are essential for our store to operate securely and correctly. They allow you to browse the site, log into customer accounts, use our checkout, and hold items in your shopping basket. Because they are required to fulfil a service you have explicitly requested, they do not require user consent.

  • Provider: Shopify

  • Purpose: User session security, shopping cart memory, load balancing, and checkout functionality.

  • Duration: Varies (Session cookies expire as soon as you close your browser; persistent security/cart cookies can last up to 1 year).

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by gathering anonymous traffic statistics (such as page views, bounce rates, and traffic sources). They are never strictly necessary and require your explicit consent before loading.

  • Provider: Google Analytics (Third-Party)

  • Purpose: To monitor web traffic patterns, assess site performance, and improve the user experience for our customers.

  • Data Collected: Anonymized IP addresses, browser types, referral links, and pages visited.

  • Duration: Typically ranges from 1 minute up to 2 years, depending on the specific Google tag.

C. Functionality & Marketing Cookies (Consent Required)

These cookies remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) to provide enhanced features. They may also be used by third-party advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other websites.

  • Provider: Shopify & Integrated Third-Party Widgets

  • Purpose: Storing user preferences and optimizing online marketing campaigns.

  • Duration: Session to 1 year.

4. How to Control or Delete Cookies Manually

Beyond using our website's cookie banner, you can control and manage cookies directly through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view your active cookies, block third-party cookies, delete history, or reject all tracking tokens completely.

Please note that if you clear or disable all cookies (including strictly necessary ones), certain areas of www.dispo.co.uk—such as the shopping basket and checkout—may cease to function properly.

5. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology, integrated apps, or regulatory laws. Any updates will be published directly on this page with an updated revision date.
