These technologies can help websites operate correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the website and measure advertising performance.

  • remembering certain privacy choices.

These technologies are necessary for us to provide the website or services you request and do not normally require your consent.

Blocking some of these technologies through your browser may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

5. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may help improve your experience by remembering choices or preferences you make when using our website.

Depending on how our website is configured, these may include preferences relating to website functionality, display or other settings.

Where consent is legally required for a functional cookie or similar technology, it will not be used until you have given permission.

6. Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics technologies to help us understand how visitors use our website.

These may provide information such as:

  • which pages are visited;
  • how visitors arrived at our website;
  • which products or pages are most popular;
  • how visitors move through the website;
  • whether errors occur; and
  • how well our website and campaigns are performing.

We use this information to understand and improve the performance of our website, products and services.

Where consent is required, analytics cookies and similar technologies will only be used after you have given permission through our cookie controls.

7. Advertising and Marketing Cookies

With your consent where required, we or our advertising and technology providers may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to:

  • measure advertising performance;
  • understand whether an advertisement resulted in a website visit or purchase;
  • help make advertising more relevant;
  • measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns; and
  • limit repeated advertising.

These technologies may recognise your browser or device over time or across websites, depending on the provider and your privacy choices.

Advertising and marketing cookies requiring consent will not be used unless you choose to allow them.

9. Shopify

Our online store is hosted and operated using Shopify.

Shopify uses cookies and similar technologies to provide functions including shopping baskets, checkout, security, customer privacy settings and other store services.

Some of these technologies are essential to operating our online store, while others may depend on the privacy choices you make.

10. Your Cookie Choices

When required, you can choose whether to allow non-essential cookies through the cookie controls displayed on our website.

You can choose to accept or reject categories of non-essential cookies where those options are available.

You can also change or withdraw your choices later using the website's cookie or privacy settings.

Withdrawing consent does not make previous processing unlawful, but it will affect the future use of technologies that rely on your consent.

11. Browser Settings

Most web browsers also allow you to view, delete or block cookies.

The method varies depending on your browser and device.

Please be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent certain parts of our website, shopping basket or checkout from operating correctly.

Browser settings are separate from the consent choices available through our website's cookie controls.

Some are session cookies, which normally expire when you close your browser.

Others are persistent cookies, which may remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

The duration depends on the purpose of the technology and the provider that operates it.

Details available through our cookie controls may provide additional information about individual cookies and their duration.
