4. Cookies and Tracking

This website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. These include:

  • Essential cookies required for the website to function (e.g. processing payments)
  • Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site
  • Advertising cookies from Meta (Facebook/Instagram) that help us measure and improve our advertising

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the site may not function properly if you do.

7. How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep your personal information only as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, or as required by law. Purchase records are typically kept for 6 years to meet UK accounting and tax obligations. Marketing data is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
