How we use cookies.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how you use the site so we can improve your experience.

Cookie identifiers can be personal data under UK data protection law, even where they do not contain your name or payment details, because they can be used to single out your device. We treat them accordingly.

Essential cookies: These are required for our website to function. They enable core features like page navigation, secure checkout, and keeping items in your shopping bag. You cannot disable these cookies.

Analytics: We use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and how quickly pages load. This measurement is aggregated. We do not set advertising cookies and we do not track you across other websites.

Authentication cookies: Supabase sets session cookies (sb-access-token, sb-refresh-token) to keep you signed in to your account. These are essential cookies and are cleared when you sign out.

Payment cookies: Stripe sets cookies (__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid) during checkout to process payments securely and prevent fraud. These are essential cookies active only during your session.

Functional cookies: These remember your preferences such as language, region, or display settings so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit.

Hosting cookies: Vercel, our hosting provider, may set performance cookies to optimise page loading and monitor site availability.

Marketing cookies: These track your browsing activity across websites to deliver relevant advertisements. They are only set with your explicit consent and are used by third-party advertising partners.

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though this may affect your experience on our website — for example, items may not stay in your shopping bag.

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services. Below is a summary of each provider, the cookies they set, and their purpose:

Vercel (hosting, Web Analytics, Speed Insights): Aggregated traffic and performance measurement, and the hosting of this website. Vercel may use limited cookies or local storage for performance monitoring and site availability.

Stripe (__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid): Secure payment processing and fraud prevention during checkout. Session-based.

Supabase (sb-access-token, sb-refresh-token): User authentication and session management. Cleared on sign out.

Google reCAPTCHA: Used on certain forms to detect automated abuse. Google collects device and interaction data for this purpose and may set cookies. This involves a transfer of data to Google.

Ideal Postcodes: Used for UK address lookup when you enter a postcode. The postcode you enter is sent to their service to return matching addresses.

Vercel: Performance monitoring and page load optimisation. Session-based.

Each third-party service has its own cookie and privacy policy. We recommend reviewing their policies if you would like to understand how they use your data.

Where we use non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we ask for your consent before setting them. Consent has to be a clear, affirmative choice — continuing to browse is not treated as consent, and we do not pre-tick consent options.

You can withdraw your consent at any time, and withdrawing it is as easy as giving it. You can also clear or block cookies through your browser settings at any time.

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

If you have any questions about how we use cookies or this policy, we’re here to help.
