Cookies are small files stored on your device. Some are needed for the shop to work at all. The rest are optional, and you decide.
Your choice
When you first arrive you are asked what you want to allow. Nothing optional is set until you say yes, and refusing is one click, in the same place and the same size as accepting. You can change your mind at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer.
Refusing optional cookies does not restrict the site. Everything still works.
Strictly necessary — always on
These make the shop function. They cannot be switched off, and they do not require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
| cart, cart_ts, cart_sig | Remembers what is in your basket | Up to 2 weeks |
| _secure_session_id | Keeps your session secure while you shop | 24 hours |
| secure_customer_sig | Keeps you signed in to your account | 1 year |
| _shopify_m, _shopify_tm, _shopify_tw | Manages your privacy settings and checkout | Up to 1 year |
| _cmp_a | Remembers your cookie choices | 1 day |
| keep_alive | Remembers your region during checkout | 30 minutes |
Analytics — only with your consent
These tell us which pages people read and where they leave, so we can fix what is broken. The data is aggregated; we are not watching you individually.
| _shopify_y, _shopify_s, _y, _s | Shopify analytics — visits and sessions | Up to 1 year |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics — how the site is used | Up to 2 years |
Marketing — only with your consent
These let us show you an advert elsewhere and understand whether it worked. If you refuse, you will still see adverts — they will just be less relevant, and we will not know they were shown to you.
| _fbp, _fbc | Meta — advertising and measurement | Up to 90 days |
| _gcl_au | Google Ads — measuring ad performance | 90 days |
| _ttp | TikTok — advertising and measurement | 13 months |
| _pin_unauth | Pinterest — advertising and measurement | 1 year |
We may not use all of these at any given time. They are listed so you know what is possible rather than being surprised later.
Changing or removing cookies
Use the cookie settings link in the footer to change your choices here. To clear cookies entirely, use your browser settings — every major browser lets you delete them and block future ones, though blocking the strictly necessary ones will break the basket and checkout.
Do Not Track
Browser Do Not Track signals are not consistently implemented across the web and we do not currently respond to them. The controls on this page are the reliable way to tell us what you want.
