Cookies Policy

We use cookies to provide you with a better user experience, improve site functionality and tailor our marketing efforts. This policy outlines what we collect through these technologies, how they work, and your options for managing them.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small files containing information about you and your browsing preferences that we store on your device when you visit our website. They can help us remember your settings, understand how you interact with our site, and make improvements to enhance your experience.

Why do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for various purposes:

  • Site functionality: To provide essential features like login persistence, session continuity, and user preferences.
  • Analytics and performance improvement: To measure how users engage with our content, detect technical issues, and optimize site performance based on aggregated data.
  • Personalization: To tailor your browsing experience by storing language settings or offering targeted promotions relevant to your interests.

Types of Cookies

Essential Cookies. These cookies are required for the basic functioning of our website. They ensure that you can move around the site freely, access secure areas (like login and checkout), and remember important details like items in a shopping cart. You cannot opt out from these as they're necessary to run the service.

  • Session cookies: These are temporary files that allow us to recognize your device during each browser session for various essential tasks such as remembering your basket contents.

Persistent Cookies. These stay on your device until their expiration date or when you remove them manually. They help in tracking how users interact with our site over longer periods, including preferences and settings.

  • Functional cookies: For instance, we might use persistent cookies to remember your preferred layout or language setting so that these are applied each time you visit the website.

Analytics and Performance Cookies. These track interactions with our content for various reasons:

  • Performance evaluation: Understanding user flow can help us optimize content load times or improve navigation interfaces.

  • Customization of user experience: Based on your actions, we may personalize recommendations to better match what's relevant and engaging.

Managing Your Preferences

Preference and Language Settings. You can easily change language settings through the preferences section. Most browsers offer tools for managing cookie permissions too:

  • Managing cookies in your browser: This typically involves visiting the settings or privacy options of your chosen browser, then looking into its management or data storage features.

Cookies and Your Privacy

Browser Cookie Controls. Each major web browser (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) allows you to delete individual cookies, see a list of stored ones, set exceptions for certain domains, block most cookies by default but allow some depending on your preferences:

  • Cookie deletion: Removing unwanted data will get rid of the related functionality in that session. When browsing multiple profiles or accounts within one browser instance, keeping track and controlling what is deleted can become complicated.

Technical Diagnostics and Performance Optimisation

Aggregated Analytics. The analytics system helps us improve user experience but does so by collecting anonymous, aggregate data (not individual details), to ensure privacy while enhancing service quality.

  • Analyzing performance: Tools monitor everything from browser crashes to content loading speeds for targeted improvements.

User Experience Improvements

Cookie Consent Management. We take your consent seriously and adhere to the laws regarding cookie usage. Most websites include clear instructions on how you can manage them or opt out in their Cookie Policy.

  • Your control over cookies: Always review what we store, as choices may vary between sites.

Third-Party Integrations

Third Party Cookies. Some services might be integrated from outside providers like analytics tools (Google Analytics) and social plugins. Each of these will have its own cookie policies; always check them:

  • Partners and their cookies: If you decide to allow some integrations, note that the rules for each one can differ significantly.
