Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember things like whether you are logged in. This site also uses local storage, which is a similar browser feature for storing small amounts of data on your device.

Essential cookies & local storage

We only use cookies and local storage that are essential for the site to work:

• Authentication: Session cookies set by our platform keep you logged in as you move between pages. Without these, you would need to sign in again on every page.
• Shopping cart: We use local storage to remember the items in your basket so they are still there when you return.
• Access token: Your sign-in token is stored in local storage so you stay logged in across visits until you log out.

Analytics & advertising

We do not use any analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies on this site. We do not track you for marketing purposes.

What we do not use

• No Google Analytics or similar web analytics.
• No advertising or retargeting cookies (e.g. Facebook Pixel, Google Ads).
• No third-party tracking or profiling cookies.

Controlling cookies in your browser

Because we only use essential cookies and local storage, you do not need to change anything for the site to work. However, you can manage or clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings:

• Clear data: Most browsers let you clear cookies and site data under Settings → Privacy or Site settings.
• Block cookies: You can block all cookies, but this will sign you out and empty your basket on each visit.
• Private browsing: Using private or incognito mode prevents cookies and local storage from being saved after you close the window.
