Cookie Policy
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files downloaded to your computer or mobile device by websites you visit. They let websites remember your information, preferences and activity between visits. This policy covers first party cookies set by us and third party cookies set by our partners for advertising or analytics.
- Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
We also use similar technologies: web beacons and pixels that help count visitors and measure campaigns, and local storage that saves preferences and supports site functionality.
Why We Use Cookies
- Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to work and cannot be turned off. They support login sessions, the shopping basket, secure navigation and your privacy settings, and include payment provider cookies set by Stripe during card checkout for security and fraud prevention.
- Performance cookies help us analyse traffic and visitor behaviour so we can improve the site, see which pages matter most and find technical issues.
- Functional cookies remember your choices, such as preferences and region, for a more personal experience.
- Targeting cookies deliver relevant content and advertising and measure how well campaigns perform. These are only set with your consent.
Managing Cookies and Your Preferences
You are in control of non essential cookies:
- Consent banner and preferences manager: when you first visit we ask for your choices, and you can change them at any time using the cookie preferences link on the site.
- Browser settings: most browsers let you accept, reject or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working, including login, basket and checkout.
- Advertising opt outs: manage interest based advertising at YourAdChoices, Your Online Choices (EU), or on mobile via the DAA AppChoices app.
