What are cookies?

When you visit our website, we use cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, mobile device or other web enabled device when you visit one of our websites or apps. Cookies allow us to “remember” your actions or preferences over a period of time, or they may contain data related to the function or delivery of our websites. We also use the term “cookie” to describe similar technologies such as pixels or tags. Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your user experience.

We use cookies to identify you, allowing you to create an account and log into our website to review your order history and information held. For example, if you pop something into your basket and come back later, it will still be there.

We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie and are activated each time the user visits the website; session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
