Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They let the site remember your actions and preferences over time, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is being used.

Some cookies are session cookies, which are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.

We group the cookies on our website into four categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies: essential for the website to work. They power core features such as your shopping basket, keeping you signed in, and protecting the security of your session. No consent is needed for these and they cannot be switched off.
• Preference and functional cookies: remember the choices you make — for example your region or currency — so we can give you a more personalised experience.
• Analytics and performance cookies: help us understand how visitors use the site so we can measure and improve performance. We use Google Analytics (GA4), which sets _ga and _ga_<id> cookies. These are only set after you accept optional cookies.
• Marketing and advertising cookies: used to show you offers and content that are more relevant to you. These are only set with your consent.

The full, current list of the cookies in use — including their names and how long they last — is available in the cookie-preferences panel on our website.

Some cookies are set by trusted third parties that help us operate the website. Rather than naming individual providers (which can change over time), we describe them by the function they perform:

• Payments: our payment provider uses cookies to process transactions securely and to help prevent fraud.
• Analytics: analytics services use cookies to measure how the site is used.
• Email and marketing: marketing platforms use cookies to deliver and measure relevant communications where you have consented.
• Security and content delivery: security and content-delivery services use cookies to keep the site fast, available, and protected.
• Embedded media: embedded content such as videos may set cookies from the platform hosting that media.

These third parties are responsible for their own cookies and process data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them.

You can change your mind at any time. Select Cookie settings in the footer at the bottom of any page to reopen the consent banner, review your choices, and update or withdraw your preferences. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, which allow you to block or delete cookies already stored on your device. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website works.

Where cookies collect information that can identify you, that information is treated as personal data and handled in line with our Privacy Policy, which explains your rights and how we protect your data.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page, so we encourage you to review it periodically.
