What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, improve performance, and provide information to website owners.

How we use cookies

Our website uses cookies in three ways. Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function — they enable the shopping cart, checkout process and secure login. Without these cookies the website cannot work and they cannot be switched off. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our site — we use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about pages visited, time spent on site and general location. This helps us improve the site for all visitors. Marketing cookies may be used if you have opted in to receive marketing communications — these help us understand whether our marketing is reaching the right people.

Third-party cookies

Shopify, our e-commerce platform, places cookies on our site to operate the checkout and shopping cart. Google Analytics places cookies to collect anonymised usage data. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies which govern how they use that data.

Managing cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies and be notified when new cookies are set. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from completing purchases on our site. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Cookie consent

When you first visit our site you will be shown a cookie consent banner. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
