Cookie Policy
Keplin (keplin-online.com)
Last updated: 23 September 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device when you visit. They let the site remember things such as what is in your basket and whether you have already answered our cookie banner.
We also use similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, which work in the same way. In this policy, "cookies" covers both.
Some cookies are essential and the site cannot work without them. The rest are optional, and we only use those if you agree.
Your choices
When you first visit keplin-online.com, a banner asks what you are happy for us to use. You can accept everything, reject everything, or choose "Customise" to turn individual categories on and off.
You can change your mind at any time. Once you have made a choice, a small cookie icon stays in the bottom left corner of every page. Click it to bring the banner back.
We remember your choice for 12 months and then ask again. Refusing optional cookies will not stop you browsing or placing an order.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, but blocking all of them will stop the basket and checkout working.
