2. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small, secure text files that are automatically downloaded and stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you interact with almost any professional website. They act as a digital memory infrastructure, enabling our platform to recognize your device, maintain your shopping basket integrity, improve your overall browsing experience, and provide aggregated analytics to optimize our consumer services.

3. Explicit Categories of Cookies Utilised

To guarantee full transparency for our European consumers and payment networks, we categorize the cookies deployed on this Website into the following clear operational classifications:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are absolutely fundamental for core website architecture, security protocols, and basic navigability. This category includes operational elements that maintain your shopping session, manage localized cookie consent preferences, and secure our online checkout.
  • Functional Cookies: These enable the platform to retain user configurations and enhanced preferences, providing a more personalised and fluid consumer experience across visits.
  • Analytical and Performance Cookies: These gather anonymised, aggregated diagnostic telemetry. They help us understand general consumer interaction patterns, popular product pages, and traffic navigation routing, allowing us to enhance website responsiveness.
  • Security & Payment Processing Cookies: Specific, highly secure cookies deployed directly within our payment infrastructure to facilitate safe monetary clearing and actively mitigate transactional fraud.

4. Authorised Third-Party and Payment Cookies

In order to run our direct-to-consumer operations securely, selected external digital utilities place specific operational cookies on our platform:

Fraud Prevention and Payment Networks (Stripe)

During the checkout and payment sequence, our certified payment gateway provider, Stripe, deploys critical technical cookies (such as __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid).

Important Safety Note: In strict compliance with financial industry regulations, these Stripe cookies are classified as Strictly Necessary. They analyze device telemetry solely to prevent unauthorized credit card usage, detect transactional fraud, mitigate financial risk, and guarantee total checkout encryption. These identifiers are managed independently under the official privacy and security frameworks of Stripe.

5. Cookie Retention Periods

The active duration of cookies on your personal device depends strictly on whether they are classified as transient or persistent:

  • Session Cookies: Temporary operational variables that are deleted automatically from your device memory the moment your web browser is closed.
  • Functional Cookies: Persistent files designed to enhance user convenience, which remain stored on your device for a maximum of 12 months unless cleared manually.
  • Analytical Cookies: Standard performance-tracking variables that are retained in an anonymised form for up to 24 months.

6. Granular Cookie Consent Mechanisms
