Privacy and Cookie Policy

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to improve your experience. To allow this site to work properly, you must give us permission to save cookies to your device.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that we save on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables us to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, or display preferences), so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site, or browse from one page to another.

We use both session-based cookies, which are erased when you leave our site, and persistent cookies, which are not. These cookies are both first-party, set by the page or domain you access, and third-party, set by an external domain (e.g. Google).

How do we use cookies?

Several of our pages use first-party cookies to remember:

  • Actions you have taken

  • The credentials you login with

  • Your cart items

  • If you have agreed (or not) to our use of cookies on this site

These cookies are essential for our pages to work, and deleting or blocking these cookies will prevent the correct operation of this site.

We also use third-party cookies (such as Google Analytics) to anonymously gather statistics on the pages you visit and what features you use. This data is used to improve your experience on our website, now and in the future, and is not used to identify you personally. This data is fully under our control.

In some circumstances, we may use third-party services embedded in our site that require cookies to work. In this case, you will be notified when you open the page.

You can choose to allow or reject cookies using the below buttons, which are also displayed on other pages. After you have made your choice, you can revoke it at any time.

These cookies are not used for purposes other than those described here.

Some of our pages or sub-sites may use additional or different cookies to the ones described above. In this case, the details of these cookies will be provided on their specific cookies notice page, and you may be asked again for your agreement.

How do I manage cookies?

Your browser can be set to accept or reject cookies automatically, and cookies already on your device can be deleted. In some browsers you can set up rules to manage cookies on a site-by-site basis, allowing cookies only from sites you trust.
