Missing information to confirm before publishing: the exact analytics, advertising, and tracking tools actually installed on your store (e.g. Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel). Placeholders are marked below — only list tools that are actually in use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember preferences, measure performance, and support advertising where permitted.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are required for the website to work properly — supporting cart functionality, checkout, login, security, and fraud prevention. These cookies can't be disabled through our website because they're necessary for core functionality.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our website — pages visited, traffic sources, performance, and interactions. Tools used: Google analytics. These cookies are used only where permitted and may require consent depending on your location.
Functionality Cookies
These remember your preferences, such as language, currency, saved cart, and display preferences.
Advertising and Personalization Cookies
These may be used to show relevant ads, measure campaign performance, track conversions, and improve advertising relevance. Tools used: meta pixel. Advertising cookies are used only where permitted and, where required, only after consent.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Our store is built on Shopify, which sets cookies for store-front functionality (e.g. cart, checkout, security). We may also use cookies from other trusted partners: google, meta. Only tools actually installed on the website are listed here.
4. Managing Cookies
Some cookies are strictly necessary and can't be disabled without impairing the website's functionality (for example, using your basket or checking out). You can select the cookies you'd like this website to store on your device by changing your browser settings — each browser handles this differently. Most browsers also offer a private browsing mode that doesn't retain local session data like cookies.
5. Changing Consent
You can change or withdraw cookie consent at any time through.
6. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Session cookies last until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted — most of the cookies we use are persistent and expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they're downloaded to your device.
