Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types we use on our website, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out in more detail how we handle your 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 are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, and local storage, may be used for the same purposes and are covered by this policy wherever we refer to "cookies".
Cookies allow our website to recognise your device between page loads (and, in some cases, between visits), remember your actions and preferences, and help us understand how our store is used so that we can keep it secure and improve it over time.
2. Cookies we use
We group the cookies used on our website into the following categories, depending on their purpose:
- Strictly necessary cookies: these are essential for our store to function correctly. They enable core features such as adding items to your cart, completing checkout, logging into your account, and keeping our website secure. Because the website cannot operate properly without them, 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 we can provide a more personalised experience on future visits.
- Analytics cookies: these help us understand how visitors interact with our website, for example which pages are viewed most often, so that we can measure and improve the performance and usability of our store. These cookies are only set with your consent.
- Marketing cookies: these are used to make advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They are only set with your consent.
3. Consent and how to manage your choices
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 all, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by returning to the cookie settings on our website. In addition, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies that have already been set. Please note that if you choose to block or delete strictly necessary cookies, some parts of our website, such as your shopping cart or checkout, may no longer work as intended.
4. How long cookies stay on your device
Cookies used on our website fall into two types based on how long they last:
- Session cookies: these are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: these remain on your device after you close your browser, until they expire or until you delete them manually.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page, so please check back periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
