This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how Raw Metals ("we", "us", or "our") uses them on our website (the "Site"), and the choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle your personal data.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

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

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as:

• Pixel tags (also called web beacons or tracking pixels) — tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that signal when a page has been loaded or an email has been opened

• Local storage — data stored directly in your browser, similar to cookies but with no expiry date

• Session storage — temporary data stored only for the duration of your browser session

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

2. HOW WE USE COOKIES

Raw Metals uses cookies for the following purposes:

• To ensure the Site functions correctly and securely (e.g., keeping you logged in, maintaining your shopping cart)

• To remember your preferences and settings

• To analyze how visitors use the Site so we can improve performance and content

• To measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on platforms like Google and Meta (Facebook/Instagram)

• To show you relevant Raw Metals ads when you visit other websites and social media platforms

3. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES WE USE

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, adding items to your cart, or completing a purchase. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate properly.

Legal basis (EU/UK): These cookies do not require your consent as they are strictly necessary for the performance of a service you have requested.

3.2 Preference / Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your language, currency, or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Legal basis (EU/UK): Consent.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of our website.

Legal basis (EU/UK): Consent.

3.4 Marketing & Advertising Cookies

These cookies are set by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites and platforms. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see ads, but they will be less targeted to your interests.

Legal basis (EU/UK): Consent.

3.5 Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the Site are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies and they are subject to the third party's own privacy and cookie policies. Key third parties include:

• Google LLC — Analytics and Ads (policies at policies.google.com)

• Meta Platforms, Inc. — Facebook/Instagram Pixel (policies at facebook.com/privacy/policy)

• Shopify Inc. — Platform and fraud prevention (policies at shopify.com/legal/privacy)

4. COOKIE CONSENT

When you first visit the Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category. Your choices will be remembered for future visits.

Please note that strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the Site to function. Disabling other categories of cookies may affect your experience — for example, your cart contents may not be saved between sessions, or you may see less relevant advertising.

You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of the Site.
