In short
We use a few cookies to run the cart, checkout and login. Everything else is off until you turn it on. You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores in your browser. We also use your browser’s local storage to keep a copy of your cookie choice. In this policy “cookies” covers both.
2. Categories
- Necessary: always on. The cart, checkout, login and your cookie choice do not work without them. The law does not require consent for these.
- Analytics: off until you consent. Count visits and see which pages work, so we can improve the store.
- Marketing: off until you consent. Measure which ads and links bring buyers.

6. Your choices
- On your first visit a banner offers Accept all, Reject non-essential and Cookie settings. Reject is as easy as accept.
- Cookie settings lets you switch Analytics and Marketing on or off one by one. Necessary cookies stay on.
- To change or withdraw consent later, click Cookie settings in the footer. The banner opens again with your current choice. Withdrawal stops new cookies at once. To remove cookies already set, clear them in your browser.
- Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information in the footer turns Analytics and Marketing off in one click.
- Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends it, Analytics and Marketing start off and the banner says so.
- We ask again after 12 months, or sooner if we add a new category.
- You can also block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies stops the cart and login from working.
