Cookie Policy A clearer view of how this website works.

01 What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device when you visit it. They can help a website remember information between pages or visits, maintain certain functions and understand how visitors interact with its content.

Similar technologies may include local storage, tracking pixels, tags and scripts. Their operation and the information they collect vary according to the technology and the services connected to the website.

Some technologies are needed for a requested website function. Others may be used for optional analytics, personalisation or advertising and may require your consent before they are activated.

02 How we use cookies

Depending on the website features available and your preferences, cookies or similar technologies may be used to:

• Keep essential website functions working correctly.
• Support shopping-basket, checkout or other requested shop functions, where enabled.
• Remember cookie preferences and certain display settings.
• Help protect website forms and detect unusual or abusive activity.
• Measure website performance and understand which pages visitors use, where analytics is configured and permitted.
• Support embedded third-party content or services selected for the website.

We aim to use non-essential technologies only where there is an appropriate legal basis. Where consent is required, those technologies should remain inactive until consent has been given.

03 Cookie categories

Cookies are commonly grouped by their purpose. The following categories explain the types that may be relevant to this website; they are not a claim that every category is currently active.

04 Third-party cookies

Certain website features may rely on services provided by other organisations. If those services are enabled, their technologies may process information about your browser or device in accordance with their own settings and privacy documentation.

Third-party services could include payment or checkout components, website analytics, embedded maps, security tools, video players or customer-support features. The actual providers depend on the integrations installed on this website.

We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie information published by any third-party service that you choose to use. We cannot independently control the cookie practices of external websites.

05 Managing your preferences

Where non-essential cookies are used and consent is required, you should be able to accept or reject optional categories and change your selection later. Accepting optional cookies should not be a condition of accessing ordinary website content where those cookies are not necessary for the service requested.

If a cookie banner or preference control is provided on this website, use it to review your options. You should be able to withdraw consent as easily as you gave it. Withdrawal does not make earlier processing unlawful, but it stops future processing that depends on that consent, subject to technical limitations and applicable requirements.

If no preference control is visible, please contact us using the details below. A functioning preference mechanism should be installed and tested if the website uses non-essential cookies that require consent.

06 Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings. You can usually find these controls in the privacy or security section of your browser.

Blocking all cookies may affect certain website features, including shopping-basket functions, sign-in processes, saved preferences or checkout steps where those features are available. Browser controls may also fail to stop some forms of storage or tracking technology.

For instructions, consult the current help information for the browser or device you use.

07 How long cookies remain

Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. Their lifetimes depend on the cookie’s purpose and the configuration of the service that sets it.

We do not specify a universal expiry period because the website’s actual cookies must first be identified. Where applicable, the cookie inventory or consent preference tool should identify each cookie’s provider, purpose and duration.

08 Cookies and personal data

Some cookie identifiers or associated information may constitute personal data when they can be linked to an identifiable person or combined with other information. Depending on the technology used, information may include device or browser details, approximate location derived from technical data, page interactions and online identifiers.

Any personal data processed through cookies is handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements. The lawful basis depends on the processing activity. Where consent is the required basis, the relevant technology should not operate before consent.

For further details about the information we handle, why we handle it, retention, your rights and how to contact us, please read our Privacy Policy.

09 Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when website functions, connected services or applicable legal requirements change. The revised version will be published on this page.

Please revisit this page periodically to check the current explanation. Where a material change affects consent requirements, we will take appropriate steps to obtain or renew consent where required by law.
