Cookies Policy

We use cookies to provide you with a better user experience, improve our site's performance, and collect anonymous statistics about how users interact with our platform.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit them. They're like tiny labels that help us remember who you are and what you've done while browsing our site.

Why do we use Cookies?

We use cookies to:

  • Remember your login details so you can easily access your account.
  • Keep track of items in your basket if you haven't completed a purchase yet.
  • Analyze how users interact with our platform, which helps us make improvements and fix issues.
  • Provide personalized content recommendations based on your interests.

Types of Cookies

We use different types of cookies to achieve various purposes:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the basic functionality of our site. They allow you to navigate through pages, log in securely, and submit forms.

Session Cookies

These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser or quit using our platform. We use them to remember what actions you've taken on specific pages.

Persistent Cookies

Unlike session cookies, these remain stored on your device even after you leave our site. They help us recall your preferences and login details for future visits.

Functional Cookies

These are used to enhance user experience by providing personalized content recommendations, displaying offers relevant to your interests, or remembering the last page you visited.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use analytics tools to collect data about how users interact with our platform. This information helps us identify areas for improvement, fix bugs, and optimize performance.

Language Settings and Preferences

You can adjust language settings using cookie-based controls. If we don't receive any preferences from cookies, we'll default to the site's standard settings.

Login/Session Continuity

We use cookies to maintain a connection between your browser and our platform when you log in or navigate through pages that require authentication.

Device Recognition

Cookies allow us to recognize devices so that we can remember user-specific details even across different sessions or browsers.

Security-Related Cookies

Our security measures include cookie-based authentication, encryption for sensitive data transmission, and secure password storage.

Browser Storage Technologies

We use browser-local technologies like LocalStorage, SessionStorage, and IndexedDB to store non-sensitive information, such as session IDs or user preferences.

Third-Party Integrations

To provide you with the best possible experience, we integrate third-party services for things like:

  • Social media login
  • Payment processing
  • Advertising platforms
  • Analytics tools

These integrations may involve sharing cookies between our site and their domains.

Marketing/Communication Preferences

We respect your right to communicate preferences regarding marketing or promotional activities. If you don't want to receive targeted offers, please adjust your cookie-based settings accordingly.

Cookie Consent Management

If you need more control over what types of cookies are set during your visit, we recommend exploring browser-specific features like blocking third-party cookies or accepting only specific categories.

Browser Controls and Clearing Cookies

Your browser usually provides built-in controls for:

  • Managing cookie storage
  • Blocking third-party cookies
  • Clearing all stored data (including cookies)

Keep in mind that clearing cookies may result in loss of preferences, login details, or basket contents.

Impact on Site Functionality when Disabling Cookies

Please note that if you disable cookies entirely or block essential ones:

  • Login functionality might not work correctly.
  • Some features relying on session continuity won't function properly (e.g., shopping cart retention).
  • Analytics performance will be affected.

Technical Diagnostics and Performance Optimisation

We use tools like page load times, HTTP error codes, and other metrics to continuously improve our platform's technical specifications. We may also run diagnostic tests during off-peak periods.

Aggregated Analytics Information

The insights we gather through analytics help us understand what features work best for our users, allowing us to prioritize improvements accordingly.
