What's a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. It lets the site recognise you on return visits, remember your preferences, and keep items in your basket as you shop. Our cookies don't store personally identifiable information like your contact details.
We use cookies to keep the site easy to use and to understand what's working well — so we can keep making it better.
The types of cookies we use
Following the International Chamber of Commerce's categories:
Strictly necessary
Essential for the site to work — keeping products in your basket as you browse, signing you in, processing your order. These run regardless of your choice because the site can't function without them.
Performance
Anonymous usage data (Google Analytics) that helps us measure how the site is performing and where it can be improved.
Functionality
Remember your choices — like saved baskets, product comparisons, and personalised recommendations — so you don't have to set them every visit.
Advertising
Show you relevant products through Google Ads and carefully selected partner networks, based on your interests. Only set if you accept.
Managing your choice
On your first visit, we ask whether you want to accept or decline cookies through a small panel in the bottom-right of the screen. That choice is stored locally on your device — we don't need to ask again.
Changing your mind
You'll see a small cookie icon in the bottom-left corner of every page after you've made your choice. A green dot means cookies are enabled, a grey dot means they're disabled. Click it any time to switch.
What happens if you decline
You can use the site normally — browse, search, view technical specs, place an order. A few personalisation features will sit dormant until you enable cookies:
- Saved baskets between sessions
- Product comparison shortlists
- Personalised recommendations
Where one of these features would normally appear, you'll see a small prompt with an Enable link — clicking it reopens the cookie panel so you can change your choice in one step.
Heads up: blocking cookies through your browser settings (rather than our panel) can break essential functions like logging in or checking out. We recommend using the cookie icon to manage your preferences instead.
