What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — like language preferences or items in your basket — so your next visit is faster and more personalised.

They do not access information from your device or files.

2. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors use our site (e.g. pages visited, time spent). We use this to improve the site’s performance.
