1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember what you did, such as what is in your basket or whether you are logged in. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels; where we say “cookies” in this policy, we mean all of them.
2. The law
We use cookies in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR. We set strictly necessary cookies automatically, because the site cannot work without them. For every other category we ask for your consent first, and you can change your mind at any time.

5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties, such as our payment provider. We do not control those cookies, and you should read the relevant provider’s own privacy and cookie notices.
