Our use of cookies
Welcome to:
- https://www.flopsyshop.ie and
- https://www.flopsyshop.com
(collectively referred to as the “Sites”), owned and operated by FlopsyShop.ie. Here you will find information on what cookies may be set when you visit the Sites and how to reject or delete those cookies. For further detailed information about the Sites, please click here to see our terms and conditions at https://www.flopsyshop.ie/pages/terms-conditions .
By continuing to use the Sites, you are agreeing to our use of cookies in the manner described in this policy.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small data file that is placed on your computer or other device to allow a website to recognise you as a user when you return to the website using the same computer and web browser, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (a ‘persistent cookie’). Other similar files work in the same way and we use the word ‘cookie’ in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.
Cookies are an extremely common technology for remembering certain information about a Visitor to a website. The vast majority of websites currently make use of cookies and they are commonly used for a wide range of tasks. We use cookies for the following purposes:
as necessary for website operation, for example to enable you to login to your account or place an order;
to analyse the use of the Sites by, for example, recognising and counting the number of visitors and how they move around the Sites. This helps us to see what parts of the site are popular and which sections need improving to make the experience better for users;
to recognise you when you return to the Sites so that content can be personalised for you, for example, by remembering your country and site preferences; and
to record your visit to the Sites and the pages you have visited and links you have followed. We will use this to make the Sites more relevant to your interests.
This document gives you information on the specific cookies used on the Sites.
How to control and delete cookies
When you accessed the Sites, you were presented with a message that notified you of our use of cookies. We had to use a cookie to present you with that notice (you can see details of this cookie under ‘Cookie Banner’ in the table below). If you continue to use the Sites, more cookies and other tracking technologies will be placed on your computer as described in this Cookie Policy in order to enhance your user experience whilst on the Sites. By continuing to use the Sites and/or by accepting our Terms and conditions, you are agreeing to the use of such cookies and tracking technology.
We will not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information about you. However, if you wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by the Sites (or, indeed, on any other site) you can do this through your browser settings. The ‘Help’ function within your browser should tell you how. In respect of cookies that are set via the Sites, you can also disable these by following the instructions provided in the section titled ‘Opting Out’ in each of the tables below.
Alternatively, you may wish to visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of browsers. You will also find details on how to delete cookies from your computer, as well as more general information about cookies. Please note that, as these websites are not owned or operated by FlopsyShop, we are not responsible for any of the content on them.
Please be aware that restricting cookies may mean that you will not be able to take full advantage of all the features or services available on the Sites.

Email Tracking
Some of the emails we send to you may contain a ‘web beacon pixel’ or tracked links which allows us to identify when you have opened the email and to verify which links contained in the email you have accessed. We use this information to determine which parts of our emails are of most interest to you.
You can delete the pixel by deleting the email. If you do not wish to download the pixel to your computer or other device, you can ensure this by selecting to receive emails from us in plain text rather than HTML.
Alternatively you can unsubscribe from our mailing list by contacting us: https://www.flopsyshop.ie/pages/contact-us

Any changes will take effect 7 days after the date of our email or the date on which we post the modified terms on the Sites, whichever is the earlier. Your continued use of the Sites after that period expires means that you agree to be bound by the modified policy.
