1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. They are widely used to ensure websites function properly, improve user navigation efficiency, and provide aggregate analytical reporting.
2. Cookies We Use
Built PC follows a privacy-conscious, minimal-cookie architecture:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to deliver site functionality, load balancing, and security routing through Cloudflare edge workers. Because these are strictly necessary, they do not require consent under UK law.
- Preferences & Tool State: When using our interactive PC Builder tool or closing UI notices, we may use local browser storage (such as
localStorage) to temporarily preserve your selected components across page visits without transmitting identifiable personal records.
3. Third-Party Affiliate Cookies (Amazon UK)
When you click on a product link or button directing you to Amazon.co.uk, Amazon sets its own tracking cookies to identify that your visit originated from Built PC (tracking ID builtpc-21). This enables Amazon to calculate sales commission on qualifying purchases.
These cookies are governed by Amazon's own privacy policies and cookie preferences. Built PC does not access or control cookies created by Amazon.
4. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser
Most modern web browsers (including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge) allow you to view, delete, or block cookies via your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect some website features.
