Cookies on the iPad/iPhone apps
The cookies we use on our iPhone and iPad apps are classified as essential cookies: they remember items that you have added to your basket and that you have logged in so you can complete your order. The cookies on the apps are different to cookies on a computer browser in that they are entirely contained within the app and are automatically deleted as soon as you close the app. They are completely secure and won’t harm your iPad or iPhone, and are essential to using the apps to browse and purchase from River Island. There isn’t a way to disable cookies on the apps; unfortunately the only way to not accept these cookies is to delete the apps from your Apple devices.
