1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, improve user experience, remember preferences, and collect information about how a site is used. The ICO describes cookies as small files placed on a device and explains that the same rules can apply to similar technologies.

  • support marketing and advertising, where consent has been given

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They may be used for features such as page navigation, security, shopping basket functionality and checkout.

These cookies do not usually require consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user. The ICO recognises an exception for cookies that are strictly necessary for an online service requested by the user, such as remembering items in a shopping basket.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, such as which pages are visited most often and how users move around the site.

We use this information to improve website performance and user experience.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as language, region or other preferences, so we can provide a more personalised experience.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertising, measure campaign performance, and track browsing behaviour across websites.

These cookies are only used where you have given your consent.

4. Consent

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

You can accept, reject or manage your cookie preferences through our cookie banner or settings tool. The ICO says organisations must clearly explain what cookies do and why they are used, and must obtain consent for non-essential cookies. It also notes that consent should be actively and clearly given.

5. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your browser settings. You can usually:

  • view what cookies are stored

Please note that disabling some cookies may affect how our website functions.

6. Third-Party Cookies
