Cookie Policy

Last updated: 11 May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Eide Clothing Ltd ("Eide", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on eide.studio (the "Site").

We are required to tell you about these technologies by the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 ("PECR") and, where they collect personal information, the UK GDPR.

1. What is a cookie?

A "cookie" is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Some cookies are essential to make a site work (for example to remember what's in your basket). Others let the site recognise repeat visitors, measure how the site is used, or — on some sites — track you for advertising.

We also use, and refer to in this policy, similar technologies such as localStorage (to remember things in your browser between visits) and session replay scripts (to record an anonymised playback of how a visitor moved through the site for diagnostic purposes).

2. Categories we use

When you visit the Site for the first time you will see a cookie banner in the bottom-right corner. The banner sorts cookies into the categories below. You can accept all, reject all (except strictly necessary), or pick categories under "Manage preferences". You can change your mind at any time from the same banner — relaunch it via the link in the site footer.

Strictly necessary (always on)

These make the Site work. We cannot switch them off and consent is not required. Examples:

cart, cart_sig, cart_ts, cart_ver

Microsoft Clarity

Anonymous session replay, heatmaps and diagnostic analytics. Helps us see where the Site is confusing or broken. Microsoft documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/cookie-list.

Up to 1 year

Microsoft Clarity records mouse movement, scrolling, clicks and keystrokes (on non-sensitive fields). It is configured to mask form inputs by default; we do not record what you type into password, address or payment fields.

Marketing (off by default — opt-in)

We do not currently run third-party advertising pixels. If we add them in future (for example Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Google Ads, or a re-targeting service), they will appear in this section and will only load after you accept the "marketing" category. We will update this policy before any new vendor goes live.

3. Technical implementation

The cookie banner is the open-source vanilla-cookieconsent library, configured by Eide. The category configuration and copy are managed in our editorial CMS so we can update them without redeploying.

Non-essential scripts are not loaded until consent is recorded. Specifically:
