Last updated: 11 October 2026. This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use and how you can control them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices and, if you agree, tell us how it is being used. They do not give us access to the rest of your device.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to keep you signed in, keep your basket active while you choose entries, keep our website secure, remember your cookie choices and, only if you agree, understand how visitors use our site so that we can improve it.
3. The cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the website to work, so they cannot be switched off. They do not need your consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| wordpress_logged_in_* and wordpress_sec_* | Keep you signed in to your account | Session or up to 14 days |
| wp_woocommerce_session_* | Remembers your basket and checkout details | Up to 2 days |
| woocommerce_items_in_cart and woocommerce_cart_hash | Track whether your basket has items in it | Session |
| wordpress_test_cookie | Checks that your browser accepts cookies | Session |
| Cookie consent cookie | Remembers your cookie choices | Up to 12 months |
Payment cookies
When you pay, our payment provider may set cookies on your device to process the payment securely and to prevent fraud. These are strictly necessary for completing a purchase, and are set by the payment provider, not by us.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our site, in a way that does not identify you. We only set them if you accept them.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga and _ga_* | Google Analytics | Distinguish visitors and measure site use | Up to 2 years |
If we switch on Google Analytics, we use it with IP anonymisation, so your full IP address is not stored. See Google’s privacy policy.
4. What we do not use cookies for
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, to track you across other websites, or to pass your personal information to others for their own advertising.
5. Managing your choices
When you first visit our website, a banner lets you accept or decline cookies that are not strictly necessary. You can change your mind at any time using the cookie settings link on our website, or through your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the website such as signing in and checkout will not work.
