This Cookie Policy explains how Quote & Cut (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://www.quoteandcut.com (the “Website”). We are based in the United Kingdom and aim to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”).

1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function correctly, remember preferences, improve performance, and (if enabled) measure how the site is used. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, and device identifiers.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies – deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies – remain until they expire or you delete them.
- First-party cookies – set by us (quoteandcut.com).
- Third-party cookies – set by other services we use (e.g., payment providers, analytics tools if enabled).
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Make the Website work properly (e.g., login, security, cart/checkout).
- Remember preferences and improve usability.
- Understand usage and improve the Website (analytics, where enabled).
- Support payment and subscription functionality (via our payment provider).
- Help prevent fraud and protect accounts and transactions.
- Operate our affiliate programme, including tracking eligible visits, referrals, campaigns, discount codes and purchases so that commission can be attributed to the correct approved affiliate partner.
3. Types of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies (always on): required for core site functions such as login, security, shopping cart and checkout. Disabling these may prevent parts of the Website from working.
- Functional cookies: remember your preferences (such as account or site settings) and improve the experience.
- Analytics cookies (optional): help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it. These are only used if enabled and permitted by your cookie choices.
- Marketing cookies (optional): used to measure campaigns, affiliate referrals, discount code performance, or show relevant offers. These are only used if enabled and permitted by your cookie choices.
4. Cookies used by WordPress and WooCommerce
The Website uses WordPress and WooCommerce. The cookies set by this software are:
WordPress (account/session)
- wordpress_logged_in_* – identifies logged-in users to keep you signed in (strictly necessary).
- wordpress_sec_* – security cookie for authentication (strictly necessary).
- wp-settings-* / wp-settings-time-* – stores user preferences (functional).
WooCommerce (cart/checkout)
- woocommerce_cart_hash – helps WooCommerce determine when cart contents change (strictly necessary).
- woocommerce_items_in_cart – tracks whether items are in the cart (strictly necessary).
- wp_woocommerce_session_* – stores a unique session ID used to retrieve cart/session data (strictly necessary).
We do not use cookies to store full payment card details.
5. Stripe and payments
We use Stripe to process payments and manage subscription billing. Stripe may set cookies and use similar technologies for payment security, fraud prevention and authentication. For more information, please review Stripe’s privacy/cookie information on their website.
We do not receive or store your full card number; card payments are processed by Stripe.
6. Affiliate tracking cookies
We operate an affiliate programme. This means that approved affiliate partners may share referral links, campaign links or discount codes that direct visitors to Quote & Cut.
When you visit the Website using an affiliate link, or use an affiliate discount code, we may use affiliate tracking cookies and similar technologies to identify the referring affiliate, record the visit, track the campaign where applicable, and attribute any eligible purchase or subscription to that affiliate. This allows us to calculate, manage and pay affiliate commission correctly.
Affiliate tracking cookies do not store your payment card details. They may store information such as the referring affiliate ID, visit ID, campaign name, referring URL, landing page, and related attribution information. If you make a purchase or start a subscription, this referral information may be linked to your order or subscription so that commission can be calculated.
Affiliate tracking cookies are treated as marketing cookies and are only used where enabled and permitted by your cookie choices.
Affiliate cookies
The Website uses software to manage affiliate tracking. Depending on how you arrive at the Website, we may set cookies such as:
- affwp_ref – stores the referring affiliate ID so that eligible purchases can be attributed to the correct affiliate.
- affwp_ref_visit_id – stores the visit ID linked to the referring affiliate visit.
- affwp_campaign – stores the affiliate campaign name, where a campaign has been used, for referral tracking and reporting.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| affwp_ref | Stores the referring affiliate ID so that an eligible purchase, subscription or order can be attributed to the correct approved affiliate partner. | Up to the affiliate cookie duration configured on our Website. | Marketing |
| affwp_ref_visit_id | Stores the visit ID linked to the referring affiliate visit for referral tracking and reporting. | Up to the affiliate cookie duration configured on our Website. | Marketing |
| affwp_campaign | Stores the affiliate campaign name, where a campaign has been used, for referral tracking and reporting. | Up to the affiliate cookie duration configured on our Website. | Marketing |
We may also process referral information when an affiliate discount code is used at checkout, even where an affiliate tracking cookie is not present. This helps us confirm that the correct affiliate partner is credited for eligible referrals.
7. Consent and cookie choices
Under PECR, we must obtain consent for non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics and marketing) unless an exemption applies. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent.
Where we use a cookie banner or preference tool, you can:
- Accept or reject optional cookies, and
- Update your choices at any time using the cookie settings link (where available).
8. How to manage cookies
You can manage cookies in your browser settings by deleting cookies, blocking cookies, or limiting cookies to certain websites. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Website (including checkout and account login) from working properly.
