Cookie Policy for VoIP and SIMs

Last updated: July 22, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how VoIP and SIMs (a trading style of Omni Communications / Beacon Communications Ltd) uses cookies and similar technologies on voipandsims.com.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies like pixels, tags, and local storage to remember preferences, keep you logged in, measure performance and (if you allow it) tailor marketing.

2. Why We Need Consent

Under UK law (PECR and UK GDPR), we must get valid, informed consent before setting any cookies that are not strictly necessary for the service you requested (e.g. analytics or advertising). Strictly necessary cookies do not need consent.

Consent must be freely given—we can’t force you to accept optional cookies to access our site or content.

3. How You Control Cookies

  • A cookie banner appears on your first visit. Use it to accept, reject, or customise non‑essential cookies.
  • You can change your choice at any time via the “Manage Cookies” link in our footer (or by clearing cookies in your browser).
  • Shopify’s privacy settings let us show region‑specific banners and respect your selection.

As a Shopify-hosted store, our site also uses cookies managed by Shopify. For a complete list of Shopify cookies, visit:

👉 Shopify Cookie Policy

4. Types of Cookies We Use

A. Strictly Necessary (always on)

Required for core functions: cart, checkout, login security. Without these, our site can’t operate.

B. Performance & Analytics (optional)

Help us understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time on page). We currently use Shopify analytics and Google Analytics. Google Analytics requires your opt‑in consent before it runs.

C. Marketing & Advertising (optional)

Used to measure campaigns or show targeted ads (e.g. Meta Pixel, Google Ads tags). We only load these if you consent.

D. Functional (optional)

Remember preferences (e.g. language, region) to improve your experience.

Shopify also sets its own cookies (necessary, performance, etc.). You can review their full list in Shopify’s published cookie policy.

5. Third Parties & International Transfers

If you enable analytics/marketing cookies, data may be processed by third parties (e.g. Shopify, Google, Meta) in countries outside the UK/EEA. We rely on contractual safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect that data.

6. Cookie Lifetimes

  • Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies stay until they reach their set expiry or you delete them. We periodically review our cookie set and update this policy if anything changes.

7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can also block or delete cookies via your browser settings. If you disable strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site may not work correctly.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, technology or our practices. Check the “Last updated” date above.
