Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how TEAM DREAM LIMITED (trading as DreamBrew) uses cookies and similar technologies on dreambrew.com. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data more generally.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences (like what's in your basket) and help us understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage — where we say "cookies" in this policy, we mean all of these.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work. Others (functional, analytics and marketing) are only set if you agree to them.
2. Your consent and how to change it
Strictly necessary cookies are always on — the site can't function without them, and under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) we don't need your consent for these.
For all other cookies (functional, analytics and marketing) we ask for your consent before they're set. When you first visit dreambrew.com you'll see a cookie banner with three options:
- Accept all — sets strictly necessary, functional, analytics and marketing cookies.
- Decline — only strictly necessary cookies are set; nothing else fires.
- Manage preferences — choose category by category.
You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer, or through your browser settings (see section 4).
3. The cookies we use
Cookie names and lifetimes can change as our platform providers update their services; the tables below cover the main cookies you're likely to encounter. "First-party" means the cookie is set by dreambrew.com; "Third-party" means it's set by one of our service providers.

We do not currently run third-party advertising pixels (such as Meta or Google Ads) on dreambrew.com. If we add any, we'll update this policy and the tables above before they go live.
4. How to manage or delete cookies
As well as our cookie banner and the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer, you can control cookies through your browser. Most browsers let you see what cookies are stored, delete them, and block them. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working (for example, checkout).
You can also opt out of many analytics and advertising cookies via the Your Online Choices portal.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the law. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
