What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. We use a small number of them — some are essential to make the site work, and one set is for analytics, which we only use if you accept.
Your choice
When you first visit, we ask whether you accept analytics cookies. Essential cookies are always on because the site can't function without them. You can change your decision at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.

Analytics
Our analytics are first-party and self-hosted — we don't use Google Analytics or share data with third parties. We record page views, basic device and country information, and how long pages are viewed, to understand what's useful and improve the site. We do not store your IP address. This only happens if you accept analytics cookies.
Managing cookies
You can change your choice here at any time via Cookie settings, or block and delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site (such as the basket) working.
