1.What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are commonly grouped into four categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies - required for a website to function securely. These do not require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), Regulation 6(4).
- Performance/analytics cookies - collect data on how users interact with a website.
- Functionality cookies - remember user preferences.
- Advertising cookies - track activity to deliver targeted advertisements.
We set strictly necessary cookies only. We do not set performance, functionality or advertising cookies.
2.Cookies We Use
The following is our complete cookie inventory, current as at the effective date above:
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__stripe_mid | Stripe | Fraud prevention - identifies the browser across payment sessions to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions | 1 year | Strictly necessary |
__stripe_sid | Stripe | Fraud prevention - identifies the browser within a single payment session | 30 minutes | Strictly necessary |
Both cookies are set by Stripe, our payment processor, and are required for secure payment processing. Stripe's cookie policy is available at https://stripe.com/cookie-settings and its privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of a service you have requested, they fall within the Regulation 6(4) exemption and no consent banner is required.
3.Third-Party Cookies
We do not permit third parties to place analytics, advertising or tracking cookies on your device through our Services.
Our website loads scripts from third-party providers (including Stripe and Trustpilot) to deliver specific functionality. Of these, only Stripe sets cookies, as listed above.
4.Your Cookie Choices
Because we set only strictly necessary cookies, there is no consent tool to configure. If you wish to block or delete cookies, most browsers allow you to do so through their settings - refer to your browser's help section for instructions.
Please note that blocking the cookies listed above may prevent secure payment processing from working correctly.
5.Changes to This Policy
We keep this policy under review and will update it if our use of cookies changes. Any update will be published on this page with a revised effective date. If we introduce cookies that are not strictly necessary, we will implement a consent mechanism and obtain your consent before those cookies are set.
