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. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we collect, use and protect your personal data.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow us to recognise your device between visits, remember your preferences, and understand how our store is being used so that we can keep improving it.
Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage, may be used alongside cookies for the same purposes. For simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy.
2. Cookies We Use
We use different categories of cookies, each serving a specific purpose. Not all of them require your consent, as explained below.
- Strictly necessary cookies: these cookies are essential for our store to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as the shopping cart, secure checkout, account login, and website security. Because our website cannot operate properly without them, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through our cookie settings.
- Functional cookies: these cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, so that we can provide a more personalised browsing experience.
- Analytics cookies: these cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, for example which pages are visited most often. This information helps us improve the performance and content of our store. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
- Marketing cookies: these cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Marketing cookies are only set with your consent.
3. Your Consent Choices
When you first visit our website, we ask for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies (functional, analytics and marketing cookies) through a cookie banner. 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 the cookie settings on our website. You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings, as described in Section 5 below. Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any use of cookies based on consent before its withdrawal.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies can remain on your device for different lengths of time, depending on their purpose:
- Session cookies: these are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: these remain on your device after you close your browser, until they expire or until you delete them manually.
5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
In addition to the cookie settings available on our website, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their own settings. You can typically choose to block or delete cookies, or to be notified when a cookie is being set. Please refer to your browser's help section for instructions on how to manage cookie preferences, as the steps vary between browsers and devices.
Please be aware that if you choose to block or delete strictly necessary cookies, certain parts of our website, such as the shopping cart or checkout, may not function correctly.
6. Changes 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.
