Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on this website, why we use them, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
By continuing to use our website after being presented with our cookie banner, you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy, except where we are required by law to obtain your prior consent, in which case cookies will only be set once you have given that consent.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow us to recognise your device on return visits, remember your preferences, and understand how our website is being used so that we can improve it.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage, which work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy wherever the term "cookies" is used.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
The cookies used on our store generally fall into one of the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: these cookies are essential for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as adding items to your shopping cart, proceeding through checkout, keeping you logged in to your account, remembering items you've viewed, and protecting the site against fraud and security threats. Because these cookies are essential to the operation of the store, they do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through our cookie settings.
- Functional cookies: these cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or currency, so that we can provide a more personalised shopping experience. If you do not allow these cookies, some parts of the site may not function as smoothly and some of your preferences may not be remembered between visits.
- Analytics (performance) cookies: these cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, for example which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on the site, and whether any error messages are received. This information helps us measure and improve the performance of our store. These cookies are only set with your consent.
- Marketing (advertising) cookies: these cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests, to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are only set with your consent and can be declined without affecting your ability to browse and purchase from our store.
3. Your Consent and How to Manage Cookies
When you first visit our website, you will be shown a cookie banner asking for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies, namely functional, analytics, and marketing cookies. You are free to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by returning to our cookie settings, which remain accessible on our website. In addition, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking cookies altogether or deleting cookies that have already been set. Please note that if you choose to block or delete strictly necessary cookies, certain features of our store, such as the shopping cart or checkout, may not work correctly.
For further guidance on managing cookies, you can also refer to the help section of your specific browser.
4. How Long Do Cookies Stay on Your Device?
Cookies can remain on your device for different lengths of time, depending on their purpose:
- 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 manually delete them, and are used to remember your preferences or recognise you on future visits.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some of the cookies on our website, particularly analytics and marketing cookies, may be placed by third-party services that we work with to help operate, analyse, and promote our store. These third parties may use the information collected through cookies for their own purposes, in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the policies of any third-party services referenced in our cookie settings for further information.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Any changes will take effect once posted on this page.
