This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies this website uses, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet or phone when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies (such as local storage) are covered by this policy too.
Cookies we use
- Strictly necessary: session and security cookies that keep the website working — for example remembering your shopping bag between pages, and (if you sign in) keeping you signed in. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed, for how long, and on what kind of device. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you. Google may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_* which typically persist for up to 2 years.
- Checkout: when you purchase through our online shop, our e-commerce provider Shopify sets cookies required to operate the secure checkout, remember your bag and prevent fraud. See Shopify's cookie information for details.
How to control cookies
You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable strictly necessary cookies, some parts of this website (such as the shop checkout) may not function. Instructions for managing cookies are available for all major browsers — see www.allaboutcookies.org for guidance.
To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available from Google.
