2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They help websites operate, remember choices, maintain shopping baskets and understand how visitors use the site.
Some cookies last only until you close your browser. These are known as session cookies. Others remain for a defined period or until you delete them and are known as persistent cookies.
We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and server-side conversion signals. In this policy, we refer to these collectively as cookies or technologies.
3. How Consent Works
When you first visit our website, you are offered the choice to:
- Accept optional analytics and advertising technologies; or
- Select “No Thanks” and continue using the website without optional technologies.
We do not treat continued browsing, scrolling or silence as consent.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the website footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect any processing that lawfully took place before it was withdrawn.
4. Categories of Cookies
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These technologies are required for functions you request, such as maintaining a shopping basket, remembering your cookie choice, protecting the website and providing secure account access. They do not require consent where they are genuinely necessary to provide the service requested.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices such as language or display preferences. Some may be exempt where they are used solely to provide a feature you have specifically requested. Otherwise, they are treated as optional.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand visitor numbers, popular pages, navigation and website performance. Where consent is required, analytics technologies remain disabled unless you select “Accept”.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
These help us measure advertising, attribute sales or enquiries to campaigns and support relevant advertising on other websites. These technologies require consent and remain disabled when you select “No Thanks”.
