This document outlines your rights to control our use of these items, in accordance with applicable United Kingdom, European, and United States legislation.

1. What Are Cookies?
   Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely utilised to make websites function efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to the site operators.
2. Your Consent and Freedom of Choice
   We respect your privacy and provide a cookie banner upon your first visit to our Website, granting you the freedom to choose your preferences. We will only use non-essential cookies if you explicitly consent by clicking the “Accept” button on our Cookie banner. You are under no obligation to accept non-essential cookies to browse the basic structural elements of our Website.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
   We categorise our cookies into the following groups:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or adding items to your cart.

Analytical and Performance Cookies: If you accept these, they allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site.

Functional Cookies: If you accept these, they enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation.

Targeting Cookies: If you accept these, they may be set through our site by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests.

4. Third-Party Cookies and Stripe Processing
   In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics or process transactions.

Please note that for the processing of your purchases, specific third-party cookies are handled directly by Stripe. Stripe utilises these cookies to facilitate the checkout process, verify transactions, and mitigate irregular activity. The processing of these specific cookies is governed by Stripe’s own operational policies. By proceeding with a purchase, you acknowledge that Stripe processes these operational items to complete the transaction.

5. Cookie Retention Periods
   In accordance with United Kingdom and European legal frameworks regarding data minimisation and retention, the cookies we deploy are restricted in their lifespan:

Session Cookies: These are temporary and expire automatically the moment you close your internet browser.

Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after you close your browser. Depending on their specific function, persistent cookies deployed by clawfluteboard are set to expire automatically within a period ranging from 24 hours up to a maximum of 12 months from the date they are placed on your device.

6. Regional Compliance and Your Rights
   We operate internationally and respect the varying legislative requirements across our customer base:

United Kingdom and European Residents (GDPR/UK GDPR & PECR): You have the right to withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time. You can adjust your preferences via the cookie management link in our website footer. We strictly adhere to the requirement of active, opt-in consent prior to placing any non-essential tracking files.

United States Residents (Including CCPA/CPRA frameworks): Residents of certain US states have specific rights regarding the collection of their information. While we do not sell your personal data in the traditional sense, you have the right to opt out of the sharing of data for cross-context behavioural advertising. You can exercise this right by managing your preferences in our cookie settings panel or by utilising recognized global privacy control signals.

7. Managing Cookies via Your Browser
   Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set strictly necessary cookies, you may impair your overall user experience and lose the ability to complete a checkout process.
