1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as your shopping cart or language) over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them every time you browse.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware. They are simply small pieces of data that make the web work better.

2. Types of cookies we use

We use two categories of cookies:

  • Essential cookies — required for the website to function. They keep your shopping cart working, remember your cookie preferences, and enable secure checkout. These cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use our site. They collect anonymised information such as which pages are visited most, how long visitors stay, and which device they use. We use this data to improve the site.

We do not use advertising, marketing, or social-media tracking cookies.

3. Detailed cookie list

Here is every cookie we set, and why:

Analytics cookies, when you accept them via the cookie banner, are set by our analytics provider and are always anonymised. They do not identify you personally and are never sold or shared with advertisers.

4. Third-party cookies

Certain third-party services used during checkout may set their own cookies. These are governed by their respective privacy policies:

  • PayPal — sets cookies during PayPal payment processing. See PayPal's privacy policy for details.
  • Stripe — sets cookies for fraud prevention and secure card processing. See Stripe's privacy policy for details.

We do not control these cookies. They are essential for secure payment processing and cannot be disabled during checkout.

5. Managing cookies

You have several options for controlling cookies:

  • Cookie banner — when you first visit our site, you can accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change this choice at any time by clearing your browser cookies and reloading the site.
  • Browser settings — every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.
  • Do Not Track — we honor Do Not Track signals from browsers that send them, and we will not set analytics cookies for those users.

Please note: if you disable essential cookies, the shopping cart, checkout, and some site features will not function correctly.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Effective" date at the top of the page shows the current version. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on our site.

7. Contact us

We keep our cookie usage minimal. No advertising trackers, no hidden analytics — just the essentials for a smooth shopping experience.
