Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 2026
8d Press uses cookies and similar technologies to help our website and online shop function correctly, securely and efficiently.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why we use them and the choices available to visitors.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website.
They can help a website remember information about your visit, maintain a shopping basket, keep a session secure, remember preferences or provide information about how the website is being used.
How 8d Press Uses Cookies
We may use cookies for purposes including:
- operating the 8d Press website;
- enabling our WooCommerce shop;
- remembering items placed in your shopping basket;
- supporting checkout and payment functions;
- maintaining secure website sessions;
- remembering certain visitor preferences;
- understanding how the website is used, where appropriate;
- supporting other website features that you choose to use.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the website and online shop to work properly.
For example, WooCommerce uses cookies to remember shopping-cart information and customer sessions. WooCommerce documents cookies including woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart and wp_woocommerce_session_, which help the shop recognise cart changes and maintain a customer’s shopping session. WooCommerce
These kinds of essential cookies may be used without prior consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, such as maintaining your basket or allowing you to proceed through checkout. ICO
Non-Essential Cookies
Other cookies may be used for functions such as:
- website analytics;
- embedded media;
- marketing;
- advertising;
- social-media integrations;
- additional functionality that is not essential to completing a purchase.
Where consent is legally required, these cookies should not be placed on your device until you have made an appropriate choice.
The ICO says consent must involve a clear positive action and that merely continuing to use a website is not sufficient consent for non-essential cookies. ICO
Managing Your Cookie Choices
Where our website uses non-essential cookies, you may be given options to accept, reject or manage them through the website’s cookie controls.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Please be aware that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the operation of the online shop, including shopping-basket or checkout functions.
Third-Party Cookies
Some services used by our website may place their own cookies or use similar technologies.
These may include services involved in:
- payment processing;
- website hosting;
- embedded video or other media;
- analytics;
- security or website functionality.
Where third-party services use non-essential cookies, appropriate consent should be obtained where required.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time if the technologies or services used by the 8d Press website change.
The latest version will always be published on this page.

One important thing after you publish this page: having a Cookie Policy page alone is not enough if the site is actually setting non-essential cookies. We should check what cookie-consent banner or plugin is active on 8d Press and make sure it really allows visitors to reject/manage non-essential cookies before they are set. The ICO specifically expects a mechanism that lets users control non-essential cookies.
