Cookie Policy
Last updated: 13 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how By Night (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://www.by-night.co.uk (the “Site”).
For how we handle personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy: https://www.by-night.co.uk/policies/privacy-policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, and local storage. They help the Site work, remember preferences, understand traffic, and (where allowed) support marketing.
Who is responsible?

Our store is powered by Shopify, which also sets cookies needed to run the shop, checkout, and security features. See Shopify’s consumer privacy information at https://privacy.shopify.com
How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Run the Site and checkout securely
- Remember cart contents and preferences
- Understand how the Site is used (analytics)
- Measure and improve advertising (where you allow it)
- Prevent fraud and keep the store secure
Types of cookies we use
1. Strictly necessary
Required for the Site to function — for example session, checkout, security, and load balancing. These usually can’t be switched off if you want to use the shop.
2. Preferences / functional
Remember choices such as language, region, or cookie settings so the Site behaves more consistently for you.
3. Analytics / performance
Help us understand visits, popular pages, and technical issues so we can improve the Site. Data is often aggregated or pseudonymised.
4. Marketing / advertising
Used (where permitted) to show relevant ads on platforms such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and to measure campaign performance. These may involve third parties.
Third parties
Depending on your settings and how you use the Site, cookies or pixels may be set by:
-
Shopify (store platform, checkout, security, some analytics/ads features)
-
Payment providers involved in checkout
-
Analytics tools (if enabled in your Shopify admin / apps)
-
Advertising partners (for example Meta), if you run ads and have tracking installed
Third parties process information under their own policies.
Consent
Where required by law (including in the UK/EEA), we only use non-essential cookies (such as analytics and marketing) with your consent. You can change or withdraw consent at any time via the cookie banner/settings on the Site (where available), or by adjusting your browser settings.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent.
How to manage cookies
You can:
- Use our cookie banner / preference controls (if shown on the Site)
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings
- Use platform ad settings (for example Meta Ad Preferences) to limit personalised ads
If you block all cookies, parts of the Site (especially cart and checkout) may not work properly.
How long cookies last
-
Session cookies expire when you close your browser
-
Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them
Exact lifetimes depend on the cookie and the provider.
Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the Site after changes means you should review the updated policy.
