What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences, such as items in your basket or login details.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function. They enable core features like adding items to your basket, processing orders, and secure checkout. Without these, the site would not work properly. These cookies do not require consent and are always active.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are popular. They collect anonymous information to improve performance. We only use these if you give consent.
- Functional Cookies: These remember your choices (like language or region) to provide a more personalised experience. Consent is required.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: We do not currently use these for personalised advertising. If third-party services (such as payment providers) set them, they are managed under their own policies.
