When you visit our website, we collect information about you, your device and your use of our website. We use cookies and other methods, as detailed in our cookies policy.

4. Cookies

Like most websites, we use cookies to track and store data about your usage of our website.

4.1 What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data sent from our website to your browser while you are on our website. They only track data about your browsing on our website – not other websites. They help us improve your experience on our website and monitor user behaviour. You can delete them in your browsing settings at any time.

4.2 What cookies do we use?

4.2.1 Usage cookies

This stores data about your visits to our website, allowing us to personalise the experience to you – such as items being kept in your shopping basket between visits. If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, e-mail address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

4.2.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to track user behaviour on our website. It shows us things like what internet browsers our visitors use, how many people view a page etc. None of the information collected is personally identifiable so we can’t track the website usage back to you. We also use Google Analytics cookies to support our display advertising – meaning we can serve ads based on past visits to our website. You can opt-out of Analytics tracking through Google Ads Preferences Manager. Opting out of advertising cookies doesn’t mean you won’t see adverts – they just won’t be tailored to you. You can read Google’s Privacy Policy here.

4.2.3 Facebook Pixel

We use the Facebook pixels to be able to advertise on Facebook to people who have visited our website before and to people who are similar to those who have visited our website. Like with Google Analytics, none of the information collected is personally identifiable so we can’t track the website usage back to you. You can read Facebook’s Cookie Policy here.

4.3 Block cookies

When you first visit our website you have the option to accept or decline the use of cookies. You can also disable cookies at any time through your browser’s settings. You will still be able to use our website but some processes may not work properly.
