On your first visit to a Clarks site, you will be presented with a default view. Over time, the version of the site you see may change, as persistent cookies remember items you have previously viewed, preference changes you have made, or whether you logged into or out of your account while browsing.\n\n**By using our website, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.**"}],"accordionAnchorId":"why-cookies"},{"accordionHeading":"Turning off and deleting cookies","accordionBody":[{"richText":"Most web browsers will provide the option to turn off, or disallow cookies. How you do this depends on the web browser you're using. Instructions for disallowing cookies can usually be found in the browser's 'Help' menu. Note that in common with most other transactional websites, refusing cookies via your web browser will mean that you are unable to make a transactional purchase on Clarks' websites. You will also find that the functionality of many other websites and services will be affected. Cookies can be deleted using your web browser. However, unless they are disallowed they will be re-applied the next time you visit a website.\n\nYou can also now manage your cookie settings using the OneTrust cookie consent platform installed on www.clarks.co.uk.

Please use your browser to delete these cookies.\n\n#### YOUTUBE VIDEOS\n\nClarks embeds YouTube videos on some website pages. These videos use Google’s ‘privacy-enhanced mode’, which means that the view of the video will not be used to personalise any subsequent YouTube browsing experience, either within our privacy-enhanced mode embedded players or in your subsequent viewing experience on the YouTube channel.\n\nManage settings"}],"accordionAnchorId":"turn-off-cookies"},{"accordionHeading":"Clarks marketing cookies","accordionBody":[{"richText":"Clarks work with several partners who serve advertisements or present online offers on our behalf.
