Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3 August 2026
A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the shop to work at all. The others help us understand how the site is used and whether our advertising works.
What we set, and when
Cookies for the cart and checkout are set as soon as you open the site — without them the shop cannot work.
Cookies for analytics and advertising, listed below, are also set when you open the site. We use them to see how many people visit, which pages they read and which advert brought them, so that we do not spend money on advertising that does not work. We switch on IP anonymisation in Google Analytics and we never use any of this to identify you personally.
Our live chat loads as soon as you interact with the page, and sets its own identifiers so a conversation survives a page reload.
How to refuse them
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can do it for this site alone. Every modern browser allows this — look for “Cookies and site data” in the privacy section. Blocking the essential ones will stop the cart and checkout working, here and on most other shops.
You can also opt out of Google Analytics on every website you visit with Google's browser add-on.
Essential — always on
Without these the cart and checkout stop working, so they do not need consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.

Analytics
Google Analytics tells us how many people visit and which pages they read. We switch on IP anonymisation, and we never use it to identify you personally.
