What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage; in this policy we refer to all of these as "cookies".
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- make our website function properly (for example, keeping you signed in and remembering items in your basket);
- remember your settings and preferences;
- understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it; and
- where you consent, support marketing and measure its effectiveness.

This table is updated periodically to reflect the actual cookies set on our live site. If you have questions about a specific cookie, contact us using the details below.
Your consent
When you first visit our website, we show a cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically because the site cannot function without them. For all other cookies, we will not set them unless you accept. You can:
Allow all cookies, including analytics and marketing.
Allow only strictly necessary cookies.
Choose which non-essential categories to allow.
We keep a record of your choice and will ask you again periodically or if our cookies change. You can change your preferences at any time using the cookie settings link on our website.
How to manage or delete cookies
In addition to our cookie settings, you can control cookies through your browser settings – including deleting existing cookies and blocking new ones. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the website from working properly.
Guidance for managing cookies is available in the help pages of all major browsers (such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge).
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties (for example our analytics or payment providers) when you use features that rely on their services. We do not control these cookies; please refer to the relevant third party's own privacy and cookie information for details.
"Do Not Track"
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. There is currently no agreed industry standard for responding to these signals, so our site does not respond to them differently. You can still control cookies using the options above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date shows when it was last revised.
