6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
We use strictly necessary cookies where they are required to provide
a service requested by you, maintain the security of the website or
perform essential e-commerce functions.
Where required by applicable UK or European law, we request your
consent before using non-essential cookies, including most
functional, analytics, advertising and social media cookies.
Where cookie information is linked to an identifiable individual,
the related personal information may be processed on the basis of:
- Your consent
- Performance of a contract
- Compliance with a legal obligation
- Our legitimate interests, where legally permitted
More information about our lawful bases for processing personal

When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie
banner that allows you to:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies
- Choose individual cookie categories
- Review additional information about the cookies used
Strictly necessary cookies remain active because they are required
for essential website functionality.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time without affecting
the lawfulness of processing carried out before your preferences were
changed.
To change your choices, use the cookie preference tool where it is shown on the website, or contact us at [email protected].
8. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through
their settings.
Browser controls vary depending on the browser and device you use.
You should refer to your browser’s help or settings section for
instructions.
Blocking all cookies may affect your experience and may prevent
essential features such as account login, shopping cart storage or
checkout from working correctly.
Changing browser settings does not always prevent the use of other
technologies, such as pixels, local storage or device identifiers.
Our cookie preference tool should therefore also be used where
available.
9. United States Privacy Choices
Under certain United States state privacy laws, some uses of
advertising cookies and similar technologies may be considered a
“sale,” “sharing” of personal information or use of personal

Your Privacy Choices
