What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They help the site work properly, remember your choices, and keep you signed in. Similar technologies such as your browser’s local storage do much the same job. This policy explains which ones we use and how you can control them.
The cookies we use
Right now we only use essential cookies — the ones the site cannot work without. These do not track you and are not used for advertising:
- Sign-in / session: keeps you securely signed in as you move between pages and during checkout.
- Your basket: remembers the items you have added so your basket is still there when you come back.
- Your cookie choice: remembers the preference you set on the cookie banner, so we do not keep asking.
Do we need your consent?
Under UK privacy rules (PECR), essential cookies do not require consent because the site would not function without them — but we still tell you about them here. Any non-essential cookies (for example analytics or marketing) would only ever be set with your clear consent, which you can give or decline using the cookie banner.
Managing cookies
You are always in control:
- Use the cookie banner to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
- Change or withdraw your choice at any time by clearing this site’s cookies in your browser, which brings the banner back.
- Block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may stop you signing in or checking out.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example if we introduce new features. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date at the top of this page.
