3. Types of Cookies We Use
Our website is built and hosted using Squarespace.
Depending on which website features you use, the site may use the following categories of cookies:
Necessary cookies
These are required for the website and online shop to operate properly.
They support functions such as:
Website security
Shopping baskets
Checkout
Payment processing
Order-status pages
Customer accounts, where available
Fraud prevention
Cookie-preference management
URL redirects
Form security
Necessary cookies cannot normally be switched off through our cookie banner because the website may not function correctly without them.
We rely on the strictly necessary exemption under applicable cookie law where it applies. Where personal information is involved, our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website or performing a contract with you.
Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, including:
The number of visitors
Which pages are viewed
Traffic sources
Visitor sessions
Shopping-basket activity
Website and checkout performance
Analytics information helps us improve our products, website layout and customer experience.
These cookies are non-essential and should only be placed after you have given consent through our cookie banner.
You may refuse or withdraw consent without affecting your ability to browse the website or place an order.
Functional cookies
Functional technologies remember choices or settings that improve the website experience. They may include video preferences, dismissed announcements or other optional website features.
Where a functional technology is not strictly necessary, it will be used only with your consent.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising or understand whether someone visited the website after seeing an advert.
We will not intentionally place non-essential marketing cookies before receiving the required consent.
If we add a new advertising or tracking service, this policy and our cookie settings will be updated where necessary.

Not every cookie in this table will be placed on every visit. Cookies are used only where the relevant website feature is active or used.
Squarespace may update the names or operation of its necessary cookies as its platform develops.
5. Squarespace Analytics and Performance Cookies
If you consent to analytics and performance cookies, Squarespace may use:

These cookies are used to populate Squarespace Analytics, including information about website traffic, visitor sessions, referral sources and shopping-basket activity.
Our lawful basis for any personal information collected through these non-essential cookies is your consent.
6. Payment and Checkout Providers
When you place an order, the payment provider selected at checkout may use its own necessary cookies for:
Secure payment processing
Fraud prevention
Authentication
Remembering checkout progress
Confirming whether a payment was successful
These cookies may be placed when you enter the payment provider’s checkout environment.
Payment providers process information under their own privacy and cookie policies. The provider available to you will be shown during checkout.
If you choose PayPal, PayPal may place cookies or similar technologies as part of its secure checkout process.
7. Forms and Spam Prevention
Our contact and custom-design forms may use security technologies to detect spam, automated submissions and malicious activity.
Squarespace or a security provider such as Google reCAPTCHA may process technical information, including device, browser and interaction information, to determine whether a submission is genuine.
Security technologies that are strictly necessary may operate without consent where permitted. Any non-essential tracking requires an appropriate legal basis or consent.
8. Social Media and External Websites
Our website contains links to social-media pages and other external websites.
An ordinary link does not normally place that third party’s cookies on your device through our website. However, the third party may set cookies when you click the link and visit its website.
If we embed social-media posts, videos or other third-party content in the future, that content may place cookies or collect information. Where required, it will be blocked until you provide consent.
Third parties are responsible for explaining their own use of cookies in their privacy and cookie policies.
9. Managing Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit our website, you should be shown a cookie banner that allows you to:
Accept cookies
Decline non-essential cookies
Manage your cookie preferences
Necessary cookies will remain active because they are required for the website and online shop to operate.
Analytics, performance and marketing cookies will remain restricted until you provide the required consent.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the Manage Cookies or Cookie Preferences option displayed in the website footer.
Withdrawing consent does not make earlier processing unlawful, but it prevents the relevant non-essential cookies from being used afterwards where technically possible.
You can also delete or block cookies using your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent the shopping basket, checkout, customer account or other website functions from working correctly.
10. Your Data-Protection Rights
Where information collected through cookies identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you, you may have the right to:
Request access to your personal information
Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
Request deletion in certain circumstances
Ask us to restrict processing
Object to certain processing
Request data portability where applicable
Withdraw consent at any time

11. International Data Transfers

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate legal protections must be used. These may include:
A country recognised by the UK as providing adequate protection;
The UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
The UK Addendum to approved standard contractual clauses; or
Another legally permitted safeguard.
Further information is available in our Privacy Policy or by contacting us.
