Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Alongside cookies, modern browsers also offer "local storage" — a similar mechanism used to remember information between visits without sending it back to a server. We use both to make your shopping experience smoother.

2. How We Use Cookies & Local Storage

On this site, browser storage is used primarily to remember:

• The items currently in your shopping bag, so they're still there if you close the tab and come back
• Items you've saved to your wishlist
• Whether you've already seen and responded to our cookie notice

This information stays on your own device and is used to run the site's core shopping features — it is not used to track you across other websites.

3. Types We Use

Strictly necessary

Required for the site to function as intended — for example, remembering your shopping bag contents. These cannot be switched off without affecting core functionality.

Functional

Used to remember your preferences, such as your wishlist and whether you've dismissed our cookie notice.

Analytics (where enabled)

We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-YQ1L48NRKY) to understand how visitors use our site, so we can improve it. Analytics cookies are only set once you accept cookies via our banner — until then, Google Consent Mode keeps analytics storage denied. IP addresses are anonymised, and we do not use analytics data for advertising or personalisation.

You can opt out at any time by clearing this site's browser storage, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Third-Party Cookies

If you choose to check out, our payment provider may set its own cookies as part of processing your payment securely — this is governed by their own privacy and cookie practices, not ours. We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies.

5. Managing Your Preferences

You're in control. You can:

• Accept our cookie notice to dismiss it on future visits
• Clear your browser's local storage and cookies at any time via your browser settings, which will reset your shopping bag and wishlist
• Set your browser to block cookies entirely, though this may affect features like your shopping bag remembering its contents

Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser — check your browser's help section (usually under Settings → Privacy) for specific steps.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our website and practices evolve. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version.
