This page explains what cookies are, which ones this site sets, what each one is for, and how to switch them off. It is written to be understood rather than to satisfy a checklist.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you come back, the browser hands the file back, and the site can recognise settings or state from your previous visit. Most of what makes a shop usable, such as a basket that does not empty when you open a second page, depends on them.
A cookie cannot read other files on your device, and it cannot carry a virus.
The cookies this site needs to work
Your shopping basket is a cookie. Without it, the site has no way of remembering what you added, and checkout cannot function at all.
Staying signed in is a cookie, if you have created an account. So is the record of whether you have already dismissed a notice, so that it does not reappear on every page.
These are strictly necessary. You can block them in your browser, but the shop will stop working properly if you do, and that is a limitation of how the web works rather than a choice we made.
The cookies that help us improve the site
We use analytics to understand which pages people find useful and where they get stuck. This tells us things like how many people read a particular guide, how far down the page they scrolled, and which step of checkout people abandon. It is reported to us as numbers, not as individuals.
We also use a session analysis tool that records anonymised interaction data, such as where on a page people click. We use it to find broken layouts and confusing steps. It is not used to identify you.
If you would rather not be counted, blocking third party cookies in your browser removes you from all of it, and nothing on the site stops working.
Cookies set by other companies
Our payment provider sets its own cookies during checkout for fraud prevention and to keep your payment session secure. These are set by them, under their own privacy policy, not by us, and they are not optional if you want to pay.
Embedded content, for example a video, can set cookies from whichever service hosts it. Those behave exactly as if you had visited that service directly.
How long cookies last
Session cookies are deleted the moment you close your browser. Your basket is one of these. Persistent cookies stay until they expire or until you delete them, and the ones on this site range from thirty minutes to around two years, with the analytics ones at the longer end.
How to control or delete cookies
Every major browser lets you see the cookies a site has set, delete them, block them for a specific site, or block them all. It is under Privacy or Site Settings in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari alike.
Private or Incognito browsing discards cookies automatically when you close the window.
Deleting cookies signs you out and empties your basket. Nothing else is lost, and your orders are unaffected, because those are stored against your account and not in a cookie.
Do Not Track
Browsers can send a Do Not Track signal. There is still no agreed standard for what a site should do when it receives one, so like most sites we do not change our behaviour based on it. Blocking cookies in your browser settings is the reliable way to get the same result.
Changes to this policy
If we add a tool that sets a new kind of cookie, we will update this page and change the date at the top.
