Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your preferences and recognise you on return visits. We also use similar technologies, such as browser local storage, for the same purposes.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use two kinds of cookies:

Strictly necessary — these keep the site working, such as staying signed in and remembering your cookie choice, and can't be switched off.
Analytics — these help us understand how the site is used, and only run if you accept them.

We do not currently use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes.

3. Cookies We Use

Cookie	Purpose	Type	Duration
PHPSESSID	Keeps you logged in and remembers your session as you move between pages, such as your account area.	Strictly necessary	Ends when you close your browser
remember_me	Keeps you signed in to your customer account between visits, so you don't have to log in every time.	Strictly necessary	30 days
cookie_consent	Remembers whether you've accepted or declined cookies, so we don't ask again on every page.	Strictly necessary	1 year
_ga, _ga_<container id>, _gid	Set by Google Analytics to distinguish visitors and measure site usage, such as pages viewed and time on site. Only set if analytics is enabled by us and you've accepted analytics cookies. IP addresses are anonymised.	Analytics (consent‑based)	Up to 2 years

4. Managing Your Choice

When you first visit the site, a banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing the cookie_consent cookie in your browser settings, which will show the banner again on your next visit. You can also block or delete cookies entirely through your browser's settings, though strictly necessary cookies are required for parts of the site, like signing in, to work.
