1. About this Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our Website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide statistics to site owners. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels for comparable purposes.

3. How we classify cookies

We group cookies into categories to help you make informed choices:

Essential — required for core site functionality such as security, account login, and checkout.
Login/Functionality — improve your experience, remember settings, and keep you signed in where chosen.
Statistics — help us understand how the Website is used (e.g., via Google Analytics 4 and internal analytics).

4. Your choices (consent & withdrawal)

On your first visit, you will see a cookie banner where you can accept all non‑essential cookies, reject them, or manage preferences by category. You can update your choices at any time via the cookie settings link available in the Website footer or banner (‘Change cookie settings’).

You can also block or delete cookies via your browser settings. If you block Essential cookies, some features may not work correctly.

Where data is transferred outside the UK/EEA (e.g., to the United States), we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the UK IDTA, the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs, or adequacy decisions where applicable.
