Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our privacy policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your language preferences, your shopping bag, or whether you've visited before. Cookies cannot read other files on your device or carry viruses.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies for three purposes:

Essential operation — cookies that make the site work (bag contents, login state, session security). These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
Analytics — understanding how visitors use our site (pages visited, time spent, referral source). Data is aggregated and anonymised where possible. We only set analytics cookies with your consent.
Preferences — remembering choices you've made (such as currency or language). These improve your experience but are not essential.

We do not use advertising, tracking, or social media cookies on this site.

4. Third-party cookies

Our payment provider Stripe may set cookies or use local storage during the checkout process for fraud prevention and security purposes. These are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.

If you consent to analytics, Google Analytics will set cookies on our behalf. These do not allow Google to identify you personally. See Google's privacy policy for more details.

5. Managing your cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:

Via your browser: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent parts of the site from working correctly.
Via Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Via our consent tool: When you first visit the site, you'll be offered cookie preferences. You can revisit this choice by clearing your lz_consent cookie and refreshing the page.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we add new cookies or change our analytics provider. The date at the top reflects the most recent update.
