Cookie Policy

Last updated: 9 July 2026

Only the cookies strictly needed to run the shop are set automatically. Analytics cookies are set only if you choose Accept in our cookie banner, and you can change that choice at any time through your browser settings. We also use a cookieless analytics tool, which stores nothing on your device.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information about how the website is used. Cookies may be either:

• Session cookies: temporary cookies deleted when you close your browser;
• Persistent cookies: cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time.

How We Use Cookies

We may use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the operation of the website and cannot usually be disabled. They may include cookies used for:

• website security;
• shopping cart and checkout functionality;
• user session management;
• payment processing.

In practice, this means two cookies:

• _medusa_cache_id: a functional cookie set by our store platform so that your basket, region, and prices stay consistent while you browse;
• cc_consent: records the choice you made in our cookie banner (“granted” or “denied”) so we do not ask again on every page. It lasts 180 days and contains no personal information.

Without these cookies, parts of the website may not function correctly.

Payment Processing

Payments on this website are processed securely by Stripe. Stripe may use cookies and similar technologies to process payments, prevent fraud, and ensure secure transactions. For more information, please see Stripe’s privacy policy.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website and to help improve its performance and content. It sets the cookies _ga and _ga_*, and may collect information such as:

• pages visited;
• time spent on the website;
• browser type and device information;
• anonymised usage statistics.

These cookies are used only with your consent. No analytics script is loaded and no analytics cookie is set before you choose Accept in our cookie banner. If you choose Reject, Google Analytics is never loaded at all.

Cookieless Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics to count page views and see which pages are read. Plausible sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and does not collect or retain personal data or identifiers that could be used to recognise you across visits or websites. Because it does not use cookies or similar storage, it runs for every visitor and is not part of the choice offered in our cookie banner.

Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services integrated into the website may place cookies on your device: Stripe for payments (essential to complete an order) and, after you accept, Google Analytics. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the relevant third parties’ own privacy and cookie policies.

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control or disable cookies through browser settings. You can usually:

• delete existing cookies;
• block future cookies;
• receive notifications before cookies are stored.

Deleting the cc_consent cookie clears your analytics choice: our cookie banner will appear again on your next visit so you can accept or reject afresh.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
