Cookies

Like many websites, we use cookies on our Site. For detailed information about the cookies associated with operating our store through Shopify, please refer to Shopify’s Cookie Policy: https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.

We use cookies to operate, maintain, and enhance our Site and Services. This includes remembering your preferences and actions to improve your browsing experience, conducting analytics, and gaining insights into how users interact with our Services—all in support of our legitimate interest in optimising performance and functionality.

We may also allow third-party partners and service providers to place cookies on our Site. These cookies help us personalise and improve the products, services, and advertising you see both on our Site and across other websites.

While most web browsers accept cookies by default, you can adjust your browser settings to refuse or remove cookies. Please note that disabling or blocking cookies may impact your experience on our Site and could cause certain features or services to function improperly or become unavailable. Additionally, blocking cookies may not completely prevent the sharing of data with third parties, including advertising partners.

Our Site also supports the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If you activate GPC through your browser or device, we will treat it as a valid request to opt out of certain data sharing or targeted advertising for that specific browser or device. Where possible, and if we can associate the device with a Shopify account, we will apply the opt-out preference to that account as well.
