If you consent, we may use analytics cookies to understand how people find and use our website. This can include information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors remain on the website, the type of device used and whether website errors occur.

Marketing Cookies

If marketing or advertising services are used, these cookies may help measure advertisements, limit how often an advert is displayed or show content relevant to a visitor’s interests. Marketing cookies will only be activated after consent has been given.

Third-Party Content

Some pages may contain content from third-party services, such as videos, maps, social-media features or payment services. These providers may place cookies or collect information when their content is loaded. Non-essential third-party content should only be activated after you provide the required consent.

Managing Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit our website, our cookie banner allows you to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the website cannot operate properly without them.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website—such as the basket, checkout or customer account—from working correctly.
