Cookies Policy
What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by a website's server. It contains information that the site can use to remember your actions or preferences when you visit, and it helps us provide a more customized experience for our users.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies to ensure that our website functions correctly and efficiently for every user. They help us keep track of things like whether you're logged in, what language settings you prefer, and even the location from which you access our site. This allows us to provide a more tailored experience and enhance your overall browsing experience.
Types of Cookies
There are several types of cookies that we use:
Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the proper functioning of our website and cannot be disabled. They help with tasks such as logging in, keeping track of basket contents, and maintaining security measures to prevent malicious activity.
Session Cookies: These store information temporarily while you browse our site. Once your session ends (i.e., when you close your browser or log out), the cookies are deleted. We use these for things like remembering what's currently open on your screen and whether you've made any recent purchases.
Persistent Cookies: Unlike session cookies, persistent ones remain stored on your device even after closing your browser. They're used to store information that we want to retain between visits, such as language preferences or other settings.
Functional Cookies: These enhance the functionality of our website by storing user-specific data. Examples include keeping track of whether you've seen certain promotions, remembering any customization choices, and helping us personalize recommendations based on your history with our site.
Analytics and Performance Cookies: We use cookies to improve how our website operates under heavy loads or during peak usage times. These also help us measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns by recording events like page clicks and conversions.
User Preferences
Our platform is designed to respect your browser's storage options, so you can choose which types of data get saved locally. If you wish to modify these settings at any point:
Session Handling
Your browser handles session management. When your device goes offline or you manually log out, most data is lost except where specifically stored in a database using a backend server language (this is beyond what's discussed here).
Platform Optimisation and Analytics InformationTo optimize user experience across different devices and screen sizes, we incorporate aggregated analytics from various third parties into our operations. This helps inform updates that improve site navigation and responsiveness.
Secure Login/Session Continuity
Our website relies on standard industry practices for secure connections to ensure login persistence and session continuity are maintained securely when your cookies consent preferences align with the required setting(s). Note that you can always change these settings under "browser controls".
This policy does not cover third-party technologies or websites but is aimed at addressing our own operations regarding cookie-related information collection.
