What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are essential to make a shop work; others remember your choices or help site owners understand how a site is used.
The cookies we use
| Type | What it does | Runs when |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps your basket, your sign-in and the security checks on forms and checkout working. Includes the session cookie that ties your basket to your visit. | Always. These cannot be switched off. |
Your choice (atp_consent) | Remembers the cookie choices you made in our banner so we do not ask again on every page. Kept for 180 days. | Once you make a choice. |
| Functional | Optional features such as live chat, if we switch them on, and remembering preferences. May set cookies from the service provider. | Only if you allow Functional cookies. |
| Analytics | Helps us see which pages and products people look at so we can improve the site and decide what to stock next. | Only if you allow Analytics cookies. |
| Marketing | Measures our advertising and shows relevant offers on other sites. | Only if you allow Marketing cookies. |
If we add a new tool that sets cookies, it will only run after you have allowed the matching category.
Changing your mind
You can change your choice at any time: press Cookie settings at the bottom of any page, then switch categories on or off and save. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings, but the shop may not work properly without the necessary ones (for example, your basket would empty).
