Cookies Policy

1. What are cookies – a simple explanation

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (e.g. computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit them. These files enable the websites to remember information about your visit, making it easier to use the site.

What are they for?

Cookies help websites:

  • Remember your login details so you don't have to log in every visit.
  • Keep the contents of your shopping cart, even if you leave the site and return later.
  • Show content and offers personalized to your interests.
  • Analyse traffic and user behaviour to improve the site's functionality and content.

Cookies are a common and essential part of most modern websites.
