Cookies Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent by a website to a web browser and contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. This enables the website to identify and track the web browser. Cookies can, among other functions, enable a website to recognize a device each time it visits, remember user preferences and recommend content. Cookies in themselves do not identify the individual user, but rather the browser or device used. However, some cookies will contain information such as a login identifier.
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a better user experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our website. By continuing to browse and use our website, you are agreeing to our use of cookies in accordance with the preferences you set through our cookie banner.
Different cookies do different things and some are essential to the operation of a website whilst others are not. The different types of cookie we use are:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to use a shopping cart, complete checkout, log into your account, or remember your cookie preferences.
- Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it, including which pages are viewed and how visitors interact with the site. This helps us to improve the way our website works.
- Targeting/advertising cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We use this information to make the advertising we display, both on our website and elsewhere, more relevant to your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

What about third-party cookies?
Some of the cookies listed above are placed by third parties, including Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads) and Microsoft (Microsoft Clarity), rather than directly by us. We have no control over how these third parties use the information collected through their cookies, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies for more detail. Other third parties (such as payment providers, and any advertising networks we work with in the future) may also place cookies on our website that are not listed above; where that's the case, this policy will be updated to reflect it.
Can I refuse or opt out of cookies?
The easiest way to manage your cookie preferences on our website is through our cookie banner. You can review or change your choices at any time by clicking Cookie Preferences, found in the footer and in the Support menu of our website. There you can accept or decline each category of non-essential cookie individually.
You can also manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to limit or prevent them. If you set your browser to block cookies, some parts of our website (such as adding items to your cart or completing checkout) may not work properly.
You can opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. California residents and residents of certain other states also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising; see our Your Privacy Choices page for details.
