Oh! This Old Thing?
Last updated: 8 March 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Oh! This Old Thing? (“we”, “our”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on ohthisoldthing.shop.
Cookies help our website function, help us understand how visitors use the site, and may support marketing or advertising tools if you choose to allow them.
For more information about how we handle personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain for a set period so the site can remember preferences or recognise returning visitors.
We may use:
First-party cookies - set by our website or Squarespace to support functionality, security, and analytics
Third-party cookies - set by service providers such as Google or Meta where those tools are enabled
Squarespace explains that its platform uses cookies to run websites, remember preferences, and support analytics and ecommerce features.
3. Types of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate properly. They support core functions such as page navigation, security, checkout, and fraud prevention.
These cookies do not require consent where they are strictly necessary for the service requested by the visitor. EU guidance on cookies distinguishes these from non-essential cookies that require consent.
3.2 Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how visitors move through the website. This helps us improve the site and customer experience.
Squarespace notes that some analytics features use cookies, including unique visitor tracking, and states that its unique visitor cookie can last for up to two years.
3.3 Functional cookies
These cookies help remember preferences or settings, such as cookie choices and some user-interface preferences.
3.4 Advertising and targeting cookies
If enabled, these cookies may be used by advertising tools such as Meta Pixel or Google Ads to measure campaign performance, build audiences, or show more relevant ads.
In EU/UK-style regimes, these are generally non-essential cookies and should only be used with consent. Regulators have repeatedly stressed that advertising cookies require valid opt-in consent.
4. Cookie consent and your choices
Where required by law, we ask for consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
If our cookie banner is enabled, you can usually:
accept all cookies
decline non-essential cookies
manage cookie preferences by category
Squarespace’s cookie banner settings support Decline all and Manage cookies options.
You can also withdraw or change your cookie preferences later using the cookie settings available on the site, where enabled.
5. Managing cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
by using our cookie banner or cookie preferences tool, where available
through your browser settings
by using opt-out tools provided by some third-party advertising platforms
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect parts of the website, including checkout, account functions, or saved preferences.
6. Third-party services and tracking technologies
We may use third-party services that place cookies or similar tracking technologies when enabled on our website, including:
Squarespace - website functionality, ecommerce features, and analytics
Google - analytics and/or advertising tools, where enabled
Meta - advertising and campaign measurement tools, where enabled
These third parties may collect data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing their policies directly if you would like more detail on how they process data.
7. Cookie Duration & Data Retention
Different cookies remain on your device for different lengths of time depending on their purpose and the service that sets them.
Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser.
Strictly necessary cookies may remain for a short period or longer, depending on the function they support.
Analytics cookies may remain for up to around 2 years, depending on the analytics tool used.
Functional cookies may remain for varying periods depending on the settings or preferences they store.
Advertising cookies may remain for different periods depending on the provider, campaign settings, and browser behaviour.
We retain personal information collected through cookies only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Cookie Policy, our Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by law.
8. Children’s privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not designed for children.
We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children in a way that is intended to target them specifically. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us and we will review the matter.
9. Privacy laws and international visitors
We are based in Australia and handle personal information in line with applicable Australian privacy obligations, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
If you access our website from other jurisdictions, including the EU or UK, additional cookie-consent rules may apply to how non-essential cookies are used. Where required, we aim to provide consent options that reflect those requirements. Valid consent under GDPR-style rules must be freely given, specific, informed, and easy to withdraw.
10. Automated decision-making and profiling
Some advertising or analytics tools may use cookies or similar identifiers to infer interests, measure engagement, or help build advertising audiences.
We do not use cookies on this website to make solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about individuals.
11. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to:
our website functionality
cookies or tracking technologies we use
legal or regulatory requirements
third-party services integrated with the site
The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
