Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types of cookies our store uses, and how you can manage or withdraw your preferences at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we handle your personal data.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, phone, or other device when you visit it. They allow the website to recognise your device on future visits, remember your actions and preferences over time, and support certain features of the store, such as keeping items in your cart or keeping you signed in. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, and local storage, may work alongside cookies to achieve comparable purposes; for simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for a number of reasons: to make our website function correctly, to keep your account and transactions secure, to remember your preferences, and, where you have given your consent, to understand how visitors use our store and to show you more relevant advertising. Not all cookies are the same, and the rules that apply to them depend on their purpose.
3. Cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies: these cookies are essential for the store to work as intended. They enable core functions such as the shopping cart, secure checkout, account login, and protection against fraud. Because the website cannot function properly without them, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through our cookie settings.
- Functional cookies: these cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, so that we can provide a more personalised and convenient shopping experience on your return visits.
- Analytics cookies: these cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our store, for example which pages are visited most often and whether pages load correctly. This information helps us improve the site's performance and usability. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
- Marketing cookies: these cookies are used to show advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Marketing cookies are only set with your consent.
4. Consent and how to manage your preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will ask for your consent before any non-essential cookie (functional, analytics, or marketing) is placed on your device. Strictly necessary cookies are excluded from this requirement, as they are needed for the store 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; most browsers allow you to view, delete, and refuse cookies, either for all websites or on a site-by-site basis. Please note that if you disable certain cookies, some features of our store, such as remembering items in your cart, may not work as intended.
5. How long cookies stay on your device
Cookies remain on your device for different lengths of time depending on their type:
- Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, until they either expire or you delete them manually, so that your preferences or settings can be remembered on future visits.
6. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page, so we encourage you to review it periodically.
