THE SHORT VERSION

Some cookies are essential. Others are optional.

Some cookies and similar technologies are needed to make our Shopify store function properly β€” for example to keep your basket working, remember privacy choices or support secure checkout.

Other technologies may be used for analytics, advertising or personalisation. Where consent is required, they should only be used after you have made the relevant choice through our privacy controls.

COOKIE 101

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of information stored on your browser or device when you visit a website.

Cookies and similar technologies can help websites remember information, provide functionality, understand how people use a site and support services such as analytics and advertising.

The exact technologies used can vary depending on our Shopify setup, installed apps, integrations and the choices you make through our privacy controls.

POWERED BY SHOPIFY

Our store uses Shopify technology.

Shopify and connected services may use cookies and similar technologies to provide the storefront, checkout, security, analytics and other functionality.

THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES

What about analytics, advertising and apps?

We may use third-party services to support activities such as analytics, marketing, advertising, website functionality or customer communications.

These services can change over time as we update our website and integrations, so we do not maintain a fixed hand-written list of every individual cookie on this page.

Where applicable, consent choices are handled through our customer privacy settings and connected services should respect those settings.

COOKIE FAQs

A few useful answers.

Do I have to accept every cookie?
No. Some technologies are required for core website functionality, while others may depend on consent or another applicable legal basis or exemption.
What happens if I reject optional cookies?
You should still be able to use the essential parts of our store, although some optional functionality, measurement or personalisation may not operate.
Can I change my mind later?
Yes. Where relevant privacy controls are available, you can update your choices rather than being stuck with the decision you made on your first visit.
Why don't you list every cookie by name?
The technologies used by Shopify, apps and connected services can change as the website changes. A static list can therefore become inaccurate quickly. This policy explains the categories and purposes instead.
Where can I read about how you use personal information?
See our Privacy Policy for information about personal data, lawful bases, sharing, retention and your rights.
