Cookie Policy

Last updated: 14 June 2026. This Cookie Policy explains how Philosophy of Wine (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at philosophyofwine.com and our online shop. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By using our website, you can accept or manage cookies through our cookie banner.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work, work more efficiently, and provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies — such as pixels, tags and local storage — perform comparable functions, and we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to make our website and online shop work (including the basket and secure checkout); to remember your preferences; to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it; and, where you consent, to measure and support our marketing.

3. The types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the website cannot function without them (for example Shopify and Squarespace cart, checkout, session and security). All other cookies are only set if you consent through our cookie banner: functional cookies (Shopify, Squarespace) remember your preferences; performance and analytics cookies (Google Analytics) help us understand site usage; and marketing cookies (Klaviyo, and advertising pixels if enabled) support email sign-up and marketing. Cookie names, providers and durations can change as our tools evolve; the most up-to-date list is always available through the cookie banner’s preference settings.

4. Managing cookies

When you first visit our website, our cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time by reopening the cookie settings. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — though disabling strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of our website and shop from working.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services on our behalf (for example Google Analytics, Klaviyo, Shopify and Squarespace). Where these cookies are non-essential, they are only set with your consent.

6. International transfers

Some cookie providers are based outside the European Economic Area. Where data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards (such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place, as described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

8. Contact us

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at Jess@philosophyofwine.com. You can also lodge a complaint with the Luxembourg supervisory authority, the Commission nationale pour la protection des données (CNPD), at www.cnpd.public.lu.
