Cookie policy
What this website stores in your browser, and why. No advertising or tracking.
Cookies and similar technologies (such as your browser’s local storage) are small pieces of information a website saves on your device. This page explains what our website stores, what it is for and how you can control it. For how we handle personal data more generally, see our privacy policy.
The short version
- We only store what the website needs to work, such as the contents of your cart.
- We do not use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies.
- Google Maps can set its own cookies, but only if you choose to load the map on our contact page.

These are strictly necessary for features you ask for, so the law does not require us to ask for your consent before using them. They stay on your device and are not sent to us.
Third-party content
The map on our contact page is provided by Google Maps. To protect your privacy it is not loaded until you click Show the map. Once loaded, Google may set its own cookies, which are covered by Google’s privacy policy. You can always use the “Open in Google Maps” link instead.
When you pay for an order, you may be taken to our payment provider’s secure page, which uses its own cookies to process the payment safely and prevent fraud.
Managing cookies
You can view and delete cookies and stored site data in your browser settings, and block them altogether if you prefer. If you block or clear local storage, the website will still work, but your cart will not be remembered between pages or visits. Your browser’s help pages explain how:
Changes to this policy
If we add any new cookies, for example to understand how the website is used, we will update this page and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent first.
