Mayhawk’s Use of Cookies

Summary of our Cookie Policy

Mayhawk Chocolate’s websites and online services may use “cookies.” Cookies enable you to use shopping carts and to personalise your experience on our sites, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and give us insights into user behaviour so we can improve our communications and products.

Most importantly of all is that they give us feedback on any website design sticking points (or friction areas) on our websites that might, if improved, give a better user experience to our customers.

The cookies used on our websites have been categorized based on the guidelines found in the ICC UK Cookie guide. We use the following categories on our websites and other online services:

Category 1 — Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to enable you to browse around our websites and use their features. Without these cookies, services like shopping baskets and e-billing cannot be provided.

Category 2 — Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use our websites — for instance, which pages you go to most. This data may be used to help optimise our websites and make them easier for you to navigate. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies you. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Category 3 — Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our websites to remember choices you make while browsing. For instance, we may store your geographic location in a cookie to ensure that we show you our website localised for your area. The information these cookies collect will not personally identify you, and they cannot track your browsing activity on non-Mayhawk websites.
