What are cookies?
Cookies are small files of information, usually containing letters and numbers, that websites store on your browser, or the hard drive of your computer. You must however agree to these cookies being stored for them to be stored on your device.
Our website needs to use these cookies so we can understand what works well with our website, and what we can do to improve. These cookies also allow us to distinguish you from other website visitors, helping us to provide you with a seamless experience on our site.
What type of cookies do you use?
We use the following cookie types:
Essential Cookies – These can also be known as Strictly Necessary Cookies, and they’re very important for us to make sure our website runs as it should. As a result, these cookies are always automatically enabled, to make sure our website works sufficiently. Some examples of uses of essential cookies include the distribution of website traffic across multiple servers – without the website speed being affected, enabling the use of a shopping basket and facilitating the checkout process.
Analytical Cookies – These can also be known as Performance Cookies, and they gather information about how website visitors use a website. These cookies help us to keep count of the number of visitors on our website, and also helps us to understand how these visitors use our website. This enables us to understand what works well on our website, and what doesn’t work so well, so we can continuously improve the site for visitors.
Functionality Cookies – These make your experience on our website easier by remembering user preferences, and simplifying interactions. Some examples of what these cookies enable include remembering your language preferences, font sizes, your log-in details, and items in your shopping basket.
Advertising Cookies – These can also be known as Targeting Cookies. These cookies track your visits to our website, including the pages you visit, and any links you have followed from said pages. This information is then used to display adverts to you, based on what we have learned about your preferences from these cookies.
What exact cookies do we use on your website?
We’ve provided a detailed breakdown below of all the cookies we use on our website, and why we use them.
1. Name and Type of Cookie: Crumb, essential
This cookie helps prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). It ensures that submitted forms or requests come from authenticated sessions and not from malicious sources. It is essential for website security, particularly to protect forms (e.g. contact forms, sign-ups) from unauthorised submissions or attacks. It expires when the browsing session ends.
2. Name and Type of Cookie: ss_cvr, performance/analytics
This cookie stores a unique identifier for a visitor over time. It allows us to track repeat visits and understand returning user behaviour (e.g. how long between visits, frequency of return), which helps with analytics and marketing strategy. It expires after 2 years.
3. Name and Type of Cookie: ss_cvt, performance/analytics
This is a visit ID cookie. It tracks a single session by storing a unique identifier for one visit. This helps us understand session-level behaviour—how a visitor navigates through our site in a single visit. It expires after 30 minutes of inactivity.
4. Name and Type of Cookie: _ga, analytics
This cookie is used to distinguish individual users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client ID. It helps track users across multiple sessions and pageviews. It expires after 2 years.
5. Name and Type of Cookie: _ga_<container-id>, analytics
This is part of Google Analytics 4 (GA4). It stores session state and enables measurement of user interactions in GA4 properties. It expires after 2 years.
6. Name and Type of Cookie: _gid, analytics
This cookie is also used to distinguish users, but only for 24 hours. It helps with tracking session-level activity like pageviews per user per day. It expires after 24 hours.
7. Name and Type of Cookie: _gat_gtag_UA_<property-id>, performance/analytics
This is used to throttle request rates — it limits the number of requests to Google Analytics to reduce server load. It expires after one minute.
Do you use any Third-Party Cookies?
Third party cookies are not set by us, but are set by other domains than the website you visit. These cookies are placed on website visitor’s devices by third-party outlets. Common examples of these third-parties can include social media platforms, analytical providers, and advertising networks.
We do not share any information collected from our cookies with any third parties.

To decide which essential, analytical, functionality and advertising cookies our website sets, select your preference in our cookie banner. You can select ‘Decline All’ in our cookie banner but if you do so, this also blocks essential cookies, which means you may not be able to access all parts of our website, and our website may not work to the best of its ability for you.
