- remember preferences such as cookie choices;
- understand site performance and improve content;

3. Types of cookies we may use

- Preferences - remember choices you make on the site.
- Analytics - help us understand traffic and page performance (for example which pages are popular).
- Marketing - used where enabled to measure campaigns or show more relevant messages. These are used only with consent where required.
Third-party providers (such as Shopify, payment partners or analytics tools) may set cookies when their services run on our site. Those providers have their own privacy notices.
4. Managing cookies
Where we present a cookie banner or preference centre, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect checkout and account features.
You can usually clear existing cookies in your browser settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
