1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They help us understand how you interact with our site, remember your preferences, and improve your experience.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our website to function. They enable you to navigate the site, submit forms, and access secure areas. Without these cookies, requested services cannot be provided.
- Session management — keeps you logged in during your visit
- Security tokens — prevents unauthorized access
- Form data — remembers what you've typed during checkout
Analytics Cookies
We use Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are viewed, how long you stay, where you came from, and how you navigate. This data is aggregated and anonymized; it does not identify you personally.
These are non-essential cookies. You may opt out at any time (see "Managing Cookies" below).
Preference Cookies
We may store your preferences — such as language, theme, or notification settings — so we can remember them on future visits and personalize your experience.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Our website may embed content from third parties (e.g., social media, videos, payment processors). These third parties may place their own cookies on your device. We do not control their policies; review their privacy statements for details.
4. Managing Cookies
You have full control over cookies:
- Disable in your browser: Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when a cookie is being set. Instructions are in your browser's settings or help section.
- Delete existing cookies: You can delete cookies already stored on your device through your browser settings.
- Opt out of analytics: Most analytics services offer opt-out tools or browser extensions that prevent data collection.
Note: Disabling essential cookies may prevent the website from functioning properly.
5. Cookie Duration
Essential cookies typically expire when you close your browser or after a short period (e.g., 24 hours). Analytics and preference cookies may persist for longer (e.g., 1–2 years) to build a more complete picture of your interactions.
6. Legal Basis
Under UK GDPR and PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations), we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Essential cookies do not require consent.
By continuing to use this website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
