This policy explains how JanuarySales (www.januarysale.org.uk), operated by E-Tara Ltd, uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
A cookie is a small data file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences, and they help site owners understand how visitors use their pages.
When you first visit JanuarySales, a cookie consent banner asks you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved in the cookie_consent cookie so the banner does not reappear. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site, which will trigger the banner again.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because they are essential for the Site to function.
These cookies are required for core site functionality and are exempt from consent requirements under UK privacy regulations.
