Cookie Policy

Last updated: 4 October 2026

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Some are essential for the site to work; others help us understand how the site is used or measure our advertising.

How we use cookies

We use essential cookies to run our shop — for example, to keep items in your basket, keep you signed in and process payments securely. These do not need your consent.

We only use analytics and marketing cookies if you agree to them in our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page.
