Last updated: 4 September 2026

This website is operated by George Tuffin and Charlie Brown, trading in partnership as Proper Goods UK (“we”, “us” or “our”).

This policy explains how we and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They help websites function correctly, remember your choices and understand how visitors use the website.

We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags and local storage. In this policy, we refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies”.

Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for our website to operate. They support functions such as:

  • Keeping products in your shopping basket

  • Processing checkout and payments

  • Remembering your delivery region and currency

  • Protecting the website against fraud and misuse

  • Remembering your cookie preferences

  • Allowing customers to use Shop Pay or customer accounts where available

Because these cookies are essential, they cannot be switched off using our cookie preferences tool. You can block them through your browser, but parts of the website may then stop working correctly.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, including which pages and products are viewed and how customers arrive at the website. This information helps us improve our website, products and advertising.

We will not use these cookies unless you give permission through our cookie banner.

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies and pixels help us measure advertising performance and show advertising that may be more relevant to you. They can also help us understand whether someone purchased a product after viewing or clicking an advert.

We will not use these technologies unless you give permission through our cookie banner.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make and can provide additional features, such as alternative payment methods, personalised content and externally supplied review information.

Some functional cookies may be essential to a service you have requested. Others will only be used with your permission.

Managing your cookie choices

When you first visit our website from the United Kingdom, our cookie banner allows you to:

  • Accept non-essential cookies

  • Decline non-essential cookies

Strictly necessary cookies remain active because the website cannot operate properly without them.
