This page explains cookies and similar technologies used at https://huwshields.com. It should be read with our Privacy Notice. Last updated 18 October 2026.
What cookies do
Cookies and similar technologies store or access information on your device. They can support a shopping basket, remember settings, help keep a site secure, or provide optional features such as analytics and embedded media.
Your choices
Some technologies are strictly necessary for a service you request, such as operating the shopping basket. Other technologies require consent unless a specific legal exception applies. We explain the actual technologies used below.
You can review and change your choices through. Where consent is required, optional technologies will only be used after you choose to allow them. Refusing consent must be as easy as accepting it, and you can withdraw consent through the same controls.

What we collect and store
While you visit our site, we’ll track:
- Products you’ve viewed: we’ll use this to, for example, show you products you’ve recently viewed
- Location, IP address and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping
- Shipping address: we’ll ask you to enter this so we can, for instance, estimate shipping before you place an order, and send you the order!
We’ll also use cookies to keep track of cart contents while you’re browsing our site.
Note: you may want to further detail your cookie policy, and link to that section from here.
When you purchase from us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. We’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:
- Send you information about your account and order
- Respond to your requests, including refunds and complaints
- Process payments and prevent fraud
- Set up your account for our store
- Comply with any legal obligations we have, such as calculating taxes

- Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them
If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.
We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for XXX years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.
We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.
This website uses the Privacy Suite for WordPress by Complianz to collect and record Browser and Device-based Consent. For this functionality, your IP address is anonymized and stored in our database. This service does not process any personally identifiable information and does not share any data with the service provider. For more information, see the Complianz Privacy Statement.
YouTube videos and external services
We use YouTube to host product videos. VIDEOS ARE EMBEDDED. YouTube is operated by Google. Its privacy information is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Where an embedded service uses technologies requiring consent, it must not load those technologies before your consent. A link that takes you to YouTube opens a separate service with its own privacy settings.
