Where a cookie is strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, your consent may not be required.

These cookies may allow the website to remember choices or preferences and provide enhanced functionality.

For example, they may help remember:

Where consent is legally required, these cookies will not be used unless you choose to allow them.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website.

They may provide information about matters such as:

pages visited;
how visitors navigate the website;
how long visitors spend on pages;
website errors;
traffic sources; and
general website performance.

We may use this information to understand and improve our website, products and customer experience.

Where consent is required by law, analytics cookies will not be activated until the necessary consent has been obtained.

Advertising and marketing technologies may be used to:

measure the effectiveness of advertising;
understand whether an advertisement resulted in a website visit or purchase;
limit repeated advertising;
create or measure audiences;
personalise advertising where permitted; and

Depending on the options presented, you may be able to:

Rejecting non-essential cookies will not prevent you from making a purchase from our website, although certain optional functionality may be reduced.

6. Changing Your Preferences

Changing your preferences will apply to future use of cookies and similar technologies on the relevant device and browser.

8. Third-Party Cookies and Technologies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be provided by third parties whose services are used on our website.

These may include, depending on the services we use:

Shopify;
payment providers;
analytics providers;
advertising platforms;
review services;
email and marketing services; and
other Shopify apps or website-service providers.

These third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

We do not permit third-party technologies to be used on our website for purposes that require consent unless the relevant consent mechanism is intended to allow that choice.

We may add or remove Shopify apps as our store develops.

Some apps may use cookies, pixels or similar technologies to provide functionality such as:

customer reviews;
email marketing;
analytics;

Where an app uses non-essential technologies requiring consent, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that they operate in accordance with the consent choices made through our website.

10. Cookies and Personal Information

Some cookies may collect information that identifies you directly or indirectly, or information that can be associated with your device or online activity.

Where information collected through cookies constitutes personal information, we process it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data-protection law.

Our Privacy Policy explains:

what personal information we collect;
why we use it;
our lawful bases for processing;
who we may share it with;
how long we retain it; and
your data-protection rights.

11. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

Cookies may be either:

Session cookies — which generally expire when you close your browser; or
Persistent cookies — which remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted.

The lifespan of individual cookies depends on their purpose and the service provider that sets them.

We aim to ensure that cookies are retained only for an appropriate period for their purpose.

12. Consent

Where consent is required for the use of a cookie or similar technology, we will seek consent before using that technology for the relevant purpose.

Consent must be given through an appropriate positive choice.

Continuing to browse the website without making a choice will not, by itself, be treated as consent to non-essential cookies where consent is legally required.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time through our available Cookie Preferences controls.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.
