Cookies Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies our store uses, why we use them, and how you can manage or withdraw your preferences at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes in more detail how we handle personal data collected through this website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow us to recognise your device between page loads and, where applicable, between visits, and to remember information about your visit, such as items in your cart or preferences you have selected.
Other similar technologies, such as local storage, may also be used for comparable purposes. For simplicity, this policy refers to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."
2. Cookies We Use
We use different categories of cookies for different purposes. Some are essential for our store to function, while others help us improve your experience or are used with your consent for analytics and marketing purposes.
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for our store to operate correctly. They enable core functionality such as maintaining your shopping cart, keeping you logged into your account, processing checkout, and ensuring the security of the site. Because they are essential, these cookies do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.
- Functional cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, so that we can provide a more personalised experience on future visits.
- Analytics cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, for example which pages are visited most often, so that we can measure and improve the performance of our site. These cookies are set only if you give your consent.
- Marketing cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They are set only if you give your consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time as described below.
Depending on the category, some cookies may be placed directly by our store, while others may be placed by third-party services we use to operate or improve our website. Third parties may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies, and we do not control how these third parties use the information collected through their cookies.
3. Consent and How to Manage Your Preferences
When you first visit our website, we ask for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, and marketing) through a cookie banner. You are free to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by returning to the cookie settings available on our website. You can also manage or block cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies, either for all websites or on a site-by-site basis. Please note that if you choose to block or delete strictly necessary cookies, some parts of our store, such as the cart or checkout, may not function correctly.
For more information on how to manage cookies in your specific browser, please refer to your browser's help documentation.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies are generally classified as either session or persistent cookies:
- Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and stay until they expire or until you delete them manually.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
