2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on a visitor’s device when visiting a website. They may allow a website to remember information, maintain essential functions and understand how the website is used.
Cookies may be either session cookies, which are removed when the browsing session ends, or persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a defined period.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are used where necessary for the ordinary operation of the website and functions requested by the visitor.
These may include cookies required to:
- maintain shopping and checkout functions;
- remember essential website preferences;
- maintain session information; and
- record the visitor’s cookie preference.
Where permitted by applicable law, essential cookies may be used without separate consent because they are required for the requested website functions.
Typical retention: session duration or up to 12 months, depending on the particular function.
4. Non-Essential Cookies
Non-essential cookies may include cookies used for website statistics, preferences or other functions that are not strictly required for the website to operate.
We use a cookie banner to provide visitors with a clear choice.
Non-essential cookies are only used after the visitor selects “Accept” on our Cookie banner where consent is required.
If the visitor does not provide consent, non-essential cookies will not be activated for the purposes requiring consent.
Consent may be withdrawn through the available cookie settings or other applicable controls.
Typical retention: up to 13 months, unless a shorter period is appropriate for the relevant purpose.
The retention period is selected according to the purpose of the cookie and is not intended to retain information for longer than reasonably necessary.
5. Stripe Cookies
Payment-related services may involve cookies or similar technologies provided by Stripe, which acts as our payment processor.
Where Stripe places or accesses cookies or similar technologies in connection with payment services, those cookies are third-party cookies handled by Stripe and are subject to the applicable Stripe privacy and cookie practices.
Stripe’s published cookie information identifies different cookies with different retention periods, including session-based cookies and persistent cookies with periods such as 30 minutes, 1 month, 90 days and 1 year, depending on their purpose.
We do not set the retention period for Stripe’s third-party cookies. The applicable period is determined by Stripe according to the purpose and function of the relevant cookie.
6. Cookie Consent
Our Cookie banner allows visitors to make a choice regarding non-essential cookies.
Selecting “Accept” indicates consent to the use of the relevant non-essential cookies covered by the consent request.
Where consent is required, we do not activate the relevant non-essential cookies before that choice has been made.
Cookie consent is intended to be freely given and informed. Visitors may withdraw consent where applicable.
7. Cookie Retention
Cookie retention periods depend on the purpose and type of cookie.
As a general approach:
- Session cookies: removed when the browsing session ends.
- Essential preference cookies: generally retained for up to 12 months.
- Non-essential cookies: generally retained for up to 13 months, unless a shorter period applies.
- Stripe third-party cookies: retained according to the applicable Stripe cookie and privacy practices.
- Cookie consent records: generally retained for up to 12 months to record and respect the visitor’s previous choice, after which consent may be requested again where appropriate.
Personal information associated with cookies is not retained indefinitely and is handled in accordance with applicable privacy requirements and our Privacy Policy. European data protection principles require personal data to be retained only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose.
8. Browser Controls
