This Cookie Policy explains how Ambas Foods Limited (“Ambas Foods”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://ambasfoods.co.uk.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember preferences, keep shopping baskets working, measure performance and, where you consent, support analytics or marketing.
2. How we use cookies
We use the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for security, account sign-in, checkout, payments, shopping basket contents, delivery location and core website functions. These do not require consent.
- Preferences: remember choices such as location, display settings or previously selected options.
- Analytics: help us understand how visitors use the website and improve performance. These are used only where required consent has been obtained.
- Marketing: may measure campaigns or personalise advertising. These are used only with consent.

4. Consent and changing your choices
When required, we ask for consent before placing non-essential cookies. You can accept, reject or change your choices through the cookie banner or cookie settings link. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.
5. Browser controls
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the basket, checkout, account or payment functions from working correctly.
6. Third parties
Some cookies may be placed by service providers supporting payments, security, maps, embedded content, analytics or advertising. Those providers may process information under their own privacy notices. We aim to prevent non-essential third-party cookies from loading before consent where consent is required.

For information about how we use personal data and your rights, see our Privacy Policy.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our website, providers or legal requirements change. The latest version will appear on this page.
