Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences, actions, or browsing session.
Cookies may be set by us directly or by third-party providers whose services are used on the Website. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, and local storage objects, may also be used for comparable purposes. For ease of reference, this Cookies Policy refers to all such technologies collectively as “cookies” unless the context requires otherwise.

We may use the following categories of cookies on the Website:
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Website and enable core functions such as page navigation, account login, shopping cart functionality, checkout flow, security features, and fraud prevention. Without these cookies, the Website cannot function properly.

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make, such as your selected currency, language preferences, saved login state, or other settings, in order to provide a more personalised browsing experience.
4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, referral sources, navigation paths, and error messages. This information helps us improve the performance, usability, and design of the Website.
4.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, track browsing behaviour across websites, and show advertisements that may be more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising or social media partners, where applicable and permitted by law.
5. Purposes for Which We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a number of legitimate operational and commercial purposes, including:
- to ensure the Website functions properly;
- to maintain secure sessions and protect against fraudulent activity;
- to remember your selected preferences, such as currency or language;
- to enable shopping cart and checkout features;
- to analyse Website traffic, user behaviour, and performance;
- to improve the content, structure, and functionality of the Website;
- to measure the effectiveness of promotions or advertising;
- to support marketing and remarketing activities where permitted.
6. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are first-party cookies, meaning they are placed directly by the Website. Others are third-party cookies, meaning they are set by third-party providers whose tools or services are integrated into the Website.
Third-party cookies may include cookies used by analytics services, payment providers, embedded content providers, advertising networks, social media platforms, and fraud-prevention services. We do not control the operation of third-party cookies once they have been set, and their use is governed by the relevant third party’s own policies.
7. Cookies Used in Connection with Payments
We do not collect or store payment card details ourselves. All payments are processed by secure third-party payment service providers.
Where you proceed to payment, certain cookies or similar technologies may be used by those third-party providers or related service partners for transaction processing, fraud prevention, session security, authentication, or regulatory compliance. This may include technologies used to support Strong Customer Authentication and similar payment security measures.
Any payment-related cookie usage by a third-party payment provider is subject to that provider’s own privacy and cookie practices.
8. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Where cookies are strictly necessary for the operation, security, or core functionality of the Website, we use them on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing a secure and functional online service or because they are necessary to provide a service requested by you.
Where cookies are not strictly necessary, including most analytics, advertising, and certain functionality cookies, we rely on your consent where required by applicable law. You may withdraw or adjust your consent preferences at any time through the cookie settings mechanism available on the Website, where applicable, or through your browser settings.
9. Cookie Consent

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent where permitted by law because they are essential to the operation of the Website or to provide a service requested by you.
If you choose to reject certain cookies, some parts of the Website may not function as intended.
