Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Some are essential for a website to work; others are used for tracking, advertising, or analytics. This policy explains exactly which cookies our website uses — and which it doesn't.

The Only Cookie We Use

Our website uses exactly one cookie: a session cookie, which is set automatically as soon as you visit any page. It's used to:

• keep our website secure, by protecting forms (like enquiries, reviews, and pre-orders) from being submitted by malicious software, and
• keep you signed in if you're a member of staff logging into the till or admin system.

This cookie is strictly necessary for the website to function correctly, doesn't track you, isn't used for advertising or analytics, and isn't shared with anyone else. It's automatically deleted when your browser session ends.

Cookies We Don't Use

We don't use any cookies for analytics, advertising, marketing, or tracking you across other websites. We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar third-party tracking tool.

The Cookie Notice Pop-Up

The pop-up you may see when you first visit our website is just letting you know about the cookie described above. Because it's strictly necessary, there's nothing to opt in or out of — dismissing the pop-up just remembers that you've seen it, using your browser's local storage rather than a cookie, so acknowledging it doesn't add anything extra.

Website Usage Analytics

Separately from cookies, we keep a simple, anonymous count of page views for our own records. This doesn't use a cookie of any kind, and we only ever store a one-way hashed version of your IP address, which can't be used to identify you or reversed back to your actual IP address.

How to Control Cookies

Because our only cookie is strictly necessary, blocking it may stop parts of the website (such as forms or staff login) from working properly. If you'd like to control or delete cookies anyway, you can do this through your browser's settings — this will apply to all websites you visit, not just ours.
