1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?

Cookies and browser local storage technologies are small data files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit BargainStore.uk. They allow our website to remember your shopping basket, active promotional vouchers, and delivery preferences between pages and visits.

2. Categories of Storage We Use

Strictly Essential (Cannot Be Disabled)

These elements are necessary for the website to function securely:

bargainstore_cart: Persists your basket items and quantities so you don't lose selections while browsing.
session_token: Ensures secure 256-bit encrypted checkout and protects against CSRF vulnerabilities.

Functional Storage

These enhance your shopping experience and remember your preferences:

bargainstore_promo: Remembers valid promotional discount vouchers (e.g. BARGAIN10) when moving from basket to checkout.
delivery_method: Retains your selected shipping option (Standard UK Delivery, Next Day Express, or Click & Collect).

Performance & Latency Analytics

Anonymous telemetry allowing our engineering team to ensure autocomplete search responses stay under our strict <300ms SLA and Turso edge database latency remains optimal.
