Cookie Policy at a Glance We use cookies on www.chrysusgolds.com to make our website work, understand how it is used, and (with your consent) show relevant marketing. Essential cookies are always on. You choose whether to accept analytics and marketing cookies. You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie Settings link in our website footer.

 

1. What Are Cookies?

1.1  Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.

 

1.2  Cookies can be:

•             Session cookies: Temporary files that are deleted when you close your browser.

•             Persistent cookies: Files that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

•             First-party cookies: Set directly by Chrysus Gold (www.chrysusgolds.com).

•             Third-party cookies: Set by external services we use, such as Google Analytics or payment providers.

 

1.3  This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, available at www.chrysusgolds.com/privacy-policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

2.1  We use cookies for the following purposes:

•             To make our website function correctly (essential cookies);

•             To remember your preferences and settings (preference cookies);

•             To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it (analytics cookies);

•             To show you relevant advertisements on other websites (marketing cookies);

•             To enable social media content embedded on our website (social cookies).

 

2.2  We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information such as payment card details. All payment data is handled securely by our third-party payment processors (Stripe, PayPal and Klarna) and is not accessible to us via cookies.

 

2.3  Our use of cookies is governed by the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (DUA Act). The DUA Act, which received Royal Assent on 19 June 2025, introduces updates to PECR and UK GDPR. We monitor regulatory guidance from the ICO and update this policy accordingly.

 

3. The Five Types of Cookies We Use

3.1  Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function. Without them, the shopping basket, secure checkout, and account login will not work. Under PECR, these do not require your consent.

_secure_session	Chrysus Gold	Session	Enables secure checkout and payment processing

 

3.2  Preference Cookies (Consent Required)

These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as your preferred currency or language. They are only placed with your consent.

 

Cookie Name	Provider	Duration	Purpose

3.3  Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)

These cookies help us understand how visitors find and use our website. We use this information to improve the shopping experience for all customers. We anonymise IP addresses before any data is processed. These cookies are only placed with your consent.

 

Cookie Name	Provider	Duration	Purpose
_ga	Google Analytics	2 years	Distinguishes unique visitors; used to count and track pageviews (IP anonymised)

3.3.1  You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

 

3.4  Marketing / Advertising Cookies (Consent Required)

These cookies track your browsing activity across websites to enable us to show you relevant advertisements. They are placed only with your explicit consent and only if you opt in via our cookie banner.

 

Cookie Name	Provider	Duration	Purpose
_fbp	Meta (Facebook)	3 months	Used by Facebook to deliver and measure advertising on Facebook and Instagram
fr	Meta (Facebook)	3 months	Enables ad delivery and measurement on Meta platforms

3.4.1  If you decline marketing cookies, you may still see adverts — they will simply be less relevant to you.

 

3.5  Social Cookies (Consent Required)

These cookies are set when our website includes embedded content from social media platforms — such as Instagram posts, Facebook Like buttons, or YouTube videos. They allow those platforms to track your visit and may be used to personalise your experience on their own platforms. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent.

 

Cookie Name	Provider	Duration	Purpose
_fbp	Meta (Facebook)	3 months	Set when Facebook or Instagram content is embedded on our site; used to track visits across Meta platforms
VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE	YouTube (Google)	6 months	Set when YouTube video content is embedded; estimates bandwidth and improves video loading
YSC	YouTube (Google)	Session	Tracks views of embedded YouTube videos to prevent the same view being counted multiple times
li_sugr	LinkedIn	3 months	Set when LinkedIn share buttons or content are embedded; used for probabilistic matching of users

 

3.5.1  If you decline social cookies, embedded social media content may not display correctly or may be replaced with a placeholder. You can still visit the relevant social media platforms directly.
