Summary
We use a small number of cookies to keep you signed in, keep your cart and settings, protect the site from abuse, and — only if you allow it — understand how the site is used. You choose which optional cookies to allow in the cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember things between pages and visits, like being signed in. Similar tools such as your browser's local storage are covered by this policy too.
Cookies we always use (strictly necessary)
These are needed for the site to work, so they cannot be switched off:
| Cookie | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Keeps you signed in and remembers your cart while you browse | Until you close the browser, or up to 2 hours of inactivity |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Same as the session |
| remember_web_* | Keeps you signed in when you tick "Remember me" | Up to 400 days, or until you sign out |
| cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie choices so we don't ask on every page | 6 months |
| known_device | Recognises browsers you signed in with before, so we can warn you about sign-ins from a new device | 2 years |
| Security check | Remembers (in your session) that your browser passed our bot check, so you are not asked on every page | Same as the session |
Cookies that remember your choices (preferences)
| Cookie / storage | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| display_currency | The currency you chose to see prices in | 12 months |
| theme (browser storage) | Light, dark or system appearance | Until you change it |
| referral_code | The affiliate who sent you to us, so they get credit if you sign up | The number of days set for our affiliate program (usually 30) |
| Dismissed messages (browser storage) | Announcements, the app install banner and ad pop-ups you closed, so they don't keep coming back | Until you clear your browser data |
| Recent searches (browser storage) | Your last searches, shown when you open search | Until you clear your browser data |
Optional cookies (only with your consent)
Depending on the categories shown in the cookie banner, we may use:
- Analytics — to count visits and see which pages are useful, so we can improve the site. We use totals, not your identity.
- Marketing — to measure whether our campaigns and ads work.
These are only set after you allow them. If you say no, the site works the same.
Ads on our site
Ads from direct advertisers are served by our own system. We count views and clicks with anonymous totals and a short-lived signature; we do not set advertising cookies for direct ads and we never share your personal data with advertisers. If we show ads from ad networks, those networks may set their own cookies — only when you allow marketing cookies. See our Advertising policy.
How to change your choice
- Click Cookie settings in the footer to reopen the banner and change what you allow.
- You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop you from signing in and checking out.
Changes
We may update this policy when we add or remove cookies. When the change matters, we ask for your consent again.
