Short, because we use very little. Nothing beyond what the shop needs to work is set until you agree to it.
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations we must tell you what non-essential cookies do and get your consent before setting them. This page is that, without the usual fog.
A small text file, and nothing more sinister than that.
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep, so that it can recognise the same browser later. Some are set by us, some by services we use such as our shop platform. Similar technologies including local storage and pixels are covered by the same rules and by this policy.
Always on, because without them the shop does not function.
These keep your basket, hold your session while you move between pages, remember your currency and region, protect forms against abuse, and record your cookie choice so we do not ask again on every page.
The law does not require consent for these, because you cannot have a working shop without them. You can still block them in your browser, but the site will not work properly if you do.
Off until you say yes.
These tell us which pages people read, how they found us and where they gave up. We use them to decide what to write next and what to fix, not to build a profile of you.
Nothing in this category is set before you consent. If you decline, the site works identically and we simply know less.
Off until you say yes, and currently barely used.
These would let advertising platforms recognise a visit. We run no advertising campaigns at present, so in practice this category is close to empty. It stays listed and stays consent gated, because that is what will be true if that ever changes.
As easy as agreeing in the first place.
Use the cookie preferences link in the footer of any page to reopen the banner and change your choice at any time. Rejecting is one click, exactly like accepting.
You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Every major browser lets you do this per site.
Ask us first. Then the regulator, if we have not fixed it.
Our privacy notice explains what personal data we hold, why, for how long and what rights you have over it. If you want to know something this page does not cover, email us and we will answer properly.
If you are not satisfied with how we have handled a data protection matter, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. We would rather you gave us a chance to put it right first, but that route is yours regardless.
