Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on this website, why we use them, and how you can manage or withdraw your preferences at any time. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out in more detail how we handle personal data.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, phone, or other device when you visit our website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your actions and preferences, and support certain features of the store. Without cookies, some parts of the website may not function correctly or may need to ask you for the same information repeatedly.
Cookies may be set directly by us, or by third-party services that provide functionality on our behalf, such as analytics or advertising tools. Cookies can also be classified by how long they last: session cookies, which exist only for the duration of your visit, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
2. Cookies we use
We use the following categories of cookies on our store:
- Strictly necessary cookies: these are essential for the store to work properly. They enable core functions such as the shopping cart, secure checkout, account login, and site security. Because they are required to provide the service you have requested, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through our cookie settings.
- Functional cookies: these remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, so that your experience is more relevant and convenient on future visits.
- Analytics cookies: these help us understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are viewed and how visitors navigate the store. This information helps us improve the site's performance and content. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
- Marketing cookies: these are used to make advertising more relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Marketing cookies are only set with your consent.
3. Consent and how to manage your preferences
When you first visit our website, we ask for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, and marketing cookies) through a cookie banner. You are free to accept or decline these categories, and strictly necessary cookies will still be used regardless of your choice, since they are required for the site to operate.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by returning to the cookie settings on our website. You can also manage or block cookies directly through your browser settings, which allow you to delete existing cookies, block cookies from being set, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may affect the functionality of the website and prevent some features, such as the cart or checkout, from working correctly.
4. How long cookies stay on your device
Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, or until you manually delete them, and are used to remember your preferences or recognise you across multiple visits.
5. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
