This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember information about your visit, such as preferences, security settings, basket activity or website usage.

Similar technologies may also be used, such as pixels, tags, local storage or analytics tools.

How We Use Cookies

We may use cookies to:

  • Make the website work correctly.
  • Keep the website secure.
  • Remember basic website preferences.

Types of Cookies We May Use

This website may use different types of cookies depending on which features are active.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function properly. These may support security, page loading, form protection, basket functions, checkout functions and account login features.

These cookies do not usually require consent because they are needed to provide the website service requested by the visitor.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may show which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, which devices are used and how users move around the website.

This helps us improve website content, page layout and user experience.

If analytics cookies are used, they should only be activated where the correct consent or lawful basis applies.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help the website remember choices or settings. This may include display preferences, form behaviour or other website features designed to improve the browsing experience.

WooCommerce Cookies

If WooCommerce basket, checkout or customer account features are enabled, WooCommerce may use cookies to keep track of basket contents, customer sessions, checkout activity and account login status.

These cookies help users add products to a basket, complete checkout and access account-related functions.

Marketing and Tracking Cookies

Marketing or tracking cookies may be used to measure advertising performance, understand visitor journeys or support remarketing where these tools are enabled.

These cookies are not essential and should only be used where the correct consent has been given.

These may include services such as:

  • Google Maps.

Cookie Consent

Where required, this website should ask for consent before setting non-essential cookies.

Visitors should be able to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or cookie settings tool where available.

Strictly necessary cookies may still operate even if non-essential cookies are rejected.

Managing Cookies

If you block all cookies, some website features may not work properly. This may include forms, basket functions, checkout, account login or embedded services.

How Long Cookies Last

Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies may stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

The exact duration depends on the cookie type, website feature or third-party provider used.

Personal Data and Cookies
