Last updated: 14th August 2026

This policy explains how cookies are used when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

## What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and tell us how the site is being used.

Our website is built on the Squarespace platform, so some cookies are set by Squarespace to make the site function. We also use analytics cookies (Squarespace Analytics and Google Analytics) — these are only set if you accept them.

## Cookies we use

### Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website to work — for security, your shopping basket, and remembering your cookie choices. They don't need your consent.

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |

|---|---|---|

| `crumb` | Security — prevents cross-site request forgery | Session |

| `CART` / `hasCart` | Remembers the contents of your shopping basket | 2 weeks |

| `ss_cookieAllowed` | Remembers your cookie consent choice | 30 days |

| `RecentRedirect` | Prevents redirect loops | 30 minutes |

| `Locale` | Remembers your language/region preference | Session |

| `test` | Checks whether your browser supports cookies | Session |

### Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, how people find us — so we can improve it. The information is aggregated and doesn't directly identify you.

| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |

|---|---|---|---|

| `ss_cvr` | Squarespace Analytics | Identifies unique visitors | 2 years |

| `ss_cvt` | Squarespace Analytics | Identifies a browsing session | 30 minutes |

| `ss_cid` / `ss_cvisit` / `ss_cpvisit` | Squarespace Analytics | Visit and page-view tracking | 30 mins – 2 years |

| `_ga` / `_ga_*` | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors and sessions | Up to 2 years |

| `_gid` | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors | 24 hours |

| `_gat` | Google Analytics | Limits how often data is sent | 1 minute |

Google Analytics is provided by Google LLC. Data may be transferred outside the UK; Google participates in the UK's approved data transfer mechanisms. See [Google's privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).

Cookie names and durations are set by Squarespace and Google and may change — see [Squarespace's cookie documentation](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/360001264507) for the current list.

## Managing your cookie choices

- Cookie banner: when you first visit, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies. Analytics cookies are not set unless you accept.

- Change your mind: clear your cookies in your browser and the banner will appear again on your next visit.

- Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies entirely, though the site may not work properly without the strictly necessary ones.

- Google Analytics opt-out: you can also install [Google's opt-out browser add-on](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

## Changes to this policy

We'll post any updates on this page with a revised date.
