Cookies are very small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit websites. This website, in order to be compliant with the EU GDPR, blocks all cookies preventively until a user explicitly consents to the cookie usage.
When you ‘Accept’ cookies we place a cookie named “cookieconsent_status” with the value “Allow” and a validity of one year. This enables our server to recognise you when you next visit our website so you do not need to repeat the cookie acceptance process. We keep a consents registry of users who have accepted our privacy and cookies policy.
We use technical cookies to help identify your device so we can tailor your user experience, track your session, shopping basket contents, where applicable, and remember where you are in the order process.
