Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on our website, why we use them, and how you can manage or withdraw your preferences at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to make them more efficient, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow our store to recognise your device between page loads and, in some cases, between visits, so that certain features — such as remembering the contents of your shopping cart or keeping you signed in — work as expected.

In addition to cookies, our website may use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage, which operate in a comparable way and are covered by this policy wherever we refer to "cookies."

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use different categories of cookies for different purposes. Some are essential for the store to operate, while others are only placed with your consent.

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They enable core functionality such as adding items to your shopping cart, proceeding through checkout, keeping you logged into your account, remembering items in your basket, load balancing, and protecting the site against fraud and abuse. Because they are essential to providing the service you request, these cookies do not require your consent.
  • Functional cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or display settings, so that we can provide a more personalised and convenient experience. If you do not accept these cookies, some features or personalisation may not work correctly.
  • Analytics (performance) cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter error messages. This information helps us understand how the site is used and improve its performance and content over time. These cookies are only set with your consent.
  • Marketing (advertising) cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are only set with your consent.

3. Consent and Withdrawal

When you first visit our website, we present a cookie banner asking for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies, namely functional, analytics, and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are used automatically, as explained above, because they are required for the website to function and do not need your consent.

You are free to accept or decline non-essential cookies, and you can change your mind at any time. To update or withdraw your consent after your initial choice, you can revisit the cookie settings available on our website. You can also manage or block cookies directly through your browser settings — most browsers allow you to see what cookies are stored on your device, delete them individually or all at once, and block cookies from particular or all websites. Please note that if you block or delete certain cookies, some parts of our website may not work as intended, and features such as your shopping cart or saved preferences may be affected.

3.1 Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most web browsers let you control cookies through their settings menu. This typically allows you to view which cookies have been set, delete some or all of them, and block cookies from being set in the future. Because the steps differ between browsers and versions, please refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.

4. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies generally fall into two categories based on how long they remain on your device:

  • Session cookies: These are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: These remain on your device after you close your browser, either until they expire or until you delete them manually, and are used to remember your preferences or settings for future visits.

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

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