Cookie notice
This Cookie Notice explains how SKYWORTH uses cookies and similar technologies on the Panasonic TV UK website. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
A cookie is a small text file stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, scripts, device identifiers, and other technologies that store or access information on your device.
1. Categories of technologies we may use
| Category | Purpose | Your controls |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Support website security, session management, shopping-cart functions, account login, fraud prevention, network management, privacy preferences, and other functions necessary for the website to operate. | These technologies may be used without consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested or where another applicable exemption applies. |
| Functional | Remember your settings and preferences and enable features such as localisation, video, reviews, chat, accessibility settings, and enhanced website functionality. | Some functional technologies may be used without consent where an applicable exemption applies. Otherwise, you can manage them through Cookie Preferences, where available. |
| Analytics and performance | Help us understand how visitors use the website, measure website performance, identify errors, understand user journeys, and improve our services. | Certain technologies used solely for statistical purposes may be used without consent where permitted by law and where appropriate controls are provided. Other analytics technologies require your consent and can be managed through Cookie Preferences. |
| Advertising and targeting | Measure advertising performance, understand campaign effectiveness, create or match audiences, personalise advertising, limit how often advertisements are shown, and measure conversions across websites or services. | These technologies are used only with your consent where required by law. You can accept, reject, or change your choices through Cookie Preferences. |
| Social media and embedded content | Enable embedded videos, social-media content, sharing features, and other third-party functionality. The relevant third-party provider may collect information about your interaction with its services. | Where these technologies are not exempt from consent requirements, they will only be used after you have provided consent through Cookie Preferences. |
2. First-party and third-party technologies
First-party technologies are set by the website domain. Third-party technologies are provided by another organisation, such as Shopify, an installed application, an analytics provider, an advertising platform, a review provider, a customer-support provider, or an embedded-media provider.
Where a third party independently determines how it processes personal information, its use of that information is governed by its own privacy notice.
The cookies and similar technologies used on the website may change as website features, applications, integrations, and service providers are added, removed, or updated.
Information about specific cookies and technologies may be available through our Cookie Preferences tool or other notices presented on the website.
3. Shopify and website functions
Our Shopify storefront may use strictly necessary technologies for purposes such as session management, website security, shopping-cart continuity, fraud detection, account functions, and storing privacy preferences.
Installed applications and integrations may use additional technologies to provide analytics, product reviews, customer support, email sign-up forms, recommendations, advertising, embedded content, or other website features.
Some website functions may also involve server-side processing or data transfers that do not directly store or access information on your browser or device. Where personal data is processed through these activities, it will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data protection law.
4. Your choices and controls
Where required, you can use the Cookie Preferences tool on the website to accept or reject non-essential cookies and similar technologies.
Your preferences are generally associated with a particular browser or device. If you clear your browser storage, use a different browser, or access the website from another device, you may need to make your selection again.
Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. However, disabling strictly necessary technologies may prevent certain website features from functioning correctly, including shopping-cart, account, security, fraud-prevention, and other essential functions.
Some technologies used solely for statistical purposes or to adapt the appearance or functionality of the website may be used without consent where an exemption under applicable UK law applies. Where required, we will provide clear information and a simple way for you to object to their use.
For technologies that require consent, including certain analytics, advertising, targeting, and social-media technologies, you can manage your choices through Cookie Preferences.
5. Consent and withdrawal
Where consent is required under applicable law, we will ask for your consent before using the relevant cookies or similar technologies.
You may use the cookie banner or Cookie Preferences tool to make your selection.
You may change or withdraw your consent for non-essential technologies at any time through Cookie Preferences. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.
Where we rely on an applicable legal exemption instead of consent, we will provide the information and controls required by law, including an appropriate means of objecting where required.
We may store your privacy choices and related technical information so that we can remember and implement your preferences and demonstrate compliance with applicable law.
6. UK privacy and electronic communications law
Our use of cookies and similar technologies is subject to applicable UK privacy and electronic communications laws, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended.
Where information collected through cookies or similar technologies constitutes personal data, the processing of that information is also subject to applicable UK data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Where consent is required for cookies or similar technologies, the consent must meet the applicable standards under UK data protection law.
7. Retention
Some cookies expire when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may be retained separately for the periods described in our Privacy Policy, as necessary to operate and improve the website, provide our services, meet legal obligations, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Where statistical information is collected under an applicable exemption, personal data will not be retained for longer than necessary for the relevant purpose.
Third-party service providers may apply their own retention periods in accordance with their privacy notices and agreements with us.
8. Changes to this Cookie Notice
We may update this Cookie Notice periodically to reflect changes in our technologies, services, business practices, or legal obligations.
When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date displayed with this Cookie Notice.
Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or request consent before materially changing how technologies requiring consent are used.
