1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files downloaded to your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They act as a memory for the website, allowing it to recognise your device on subsequent visits and understand how you navigate the site.
In addition to traditional cookies, we use similar technologies to improve your experience. Specifically, we use responsive images. This technology allows our website to detect your device's screen size and resolution to serve the most appropriately sized images of our uniforms, ensuring fast load times and a seamless browsing experience without storing personal data.
2. How We Use Cookies
We categorise the cookies we use based on their purpose. Below is a detailed breakdown of the cookies you may encounter while browsing our site.
2.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies (always on)
These cookies are critical for the basic operation of our website. They enable core features such as security, network management, and session authentication. Because the website cannot function properly without them, they cannot be switched off in our systems.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest and contractual necessity (to provide you with the website you requested).
2.2 Functional Cookies (with consent)
Functional cookies allow a website to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
Legal basis: Consent.
2.3 Analytics & Performance Cookies (consent required in EU)
Analytics cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with their websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
Legal basis: Consent (EU/UK) or Legitimate interest with opt-out (US).
2.4 Marketing & Advertising Cookies (consent required)
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user.
Legal basis: Consent.
We do not currently use marketing cookies.
3. Third-Party Cookies & Services
While we manage our own first-party cookies, we also rely on trusted third-party service providers to run our business operations.
Squarespace
Our website is built and hosted on Squarespace. As our hosting provider, Squarespace automatically sets essential cookies necessary for the secure and efficient delivery of our website content to your device. These cookies are strictly necessary for routing traffic, preventing security threats, and ensuring the site loads properly.
4. Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control
We recognise privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track (DNT) where supported by the technologies used on our website. These signals may be taken into account when managing cookie and privacy preferences.
Visitors can also manage cookie preferences using the options provided on our website where available.
Please note that the effectiveness of GPC and DNT signals may depend on the browser, device, and third-party services being used.
5. Your Cookie Choices
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. While essential cookies cannot be disabled through our site (as they are required for it to function), you can manage your overall cookie preferences directly through your web browser.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies.

6. Cookie Duration & Data Retention
Cookies remain on your device for different periods depending on their type:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. Our "crumb" security cookie is a session cookie.
- Persistent Cookies: These stay on your device until they reach their set expiration date or you manually delete them.
Any data collected via our essential cookies is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the security and operational purposes outlined in this policy. You can clear existing cookies from your device at any time by clearing your browser's cache and cookies history.
7. International Data Transfers
Dennys Uniforms Limited, trading as Le Chef Uniforms, serves a global customer base. Because we use Squarespace (a company headquartered in the United States) to host our website, the data collected by essential cookies may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries outside of your home jurisdiction (such as outside the UK or European Economic Area).
When such transfers occur, we ensure they are protected by appropriate legal safeguards. This includes relying on adequacy decisions where applicable, or utilising Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework to ensure your data receives a level of protection equivalent to that required under the GDPR and UK GDPR.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology, business practices, or legal requirements. The latest version will be published on this page with the "Last updated" date shown at the top.
If we make material changes – such as introducing new categories of cookies (like analytics or marketing) – we will notify you by updating the policy on our website and, where required by law, we will prompt you to provide new consent before those new cookies are deployed.
9. Contact Us
