Cookie Policy

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline (unless you delete them or they expire), while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

How We Use Cookies

When you use and access the Service, we may place a number of cookie files in your web browser.

We use both session and persistent cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary Cookies):

  These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, services like shopping baskets or e-billing cannot be provided. We use these cookies to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of user accounts, and to enable core site functionality.

• Analytics and Performance Cookies:

  These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors arrive at and browse our products and website to identify areas for improvement such as navigation, user experience, and marketing campaigns.

• Functionality Cookies:

  These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

• Targeting or Advertising Cookies:

  These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation. (Note: We currently do not use targeting/advertising cookies for third-party ad networks. If this changes, this policy will be updated.)

• Social Media Cookies:

  These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or “like” button on our Sites or you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social networking website such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube or LinkedIn. The social network will record that you have done this. This information may be linked to targeting/advertising activities.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, and for other purposes as described above.

Examples of third-party services that may set cookies when you use our Service include:

• Google Analytics: To analyze website traffic and user behavior. (Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy)
• ConvertKit: If you subscribe to our newsletter, ConvertKit may use cookies to manage your subscription and track email campaign effectiveness. (ConvertKit's Cookie Policy can be found on their website)
• Stripe: If you make a purchase, Stripe (our payment processor) uses cookies necessary for payment processing and fraud prevention. (Stripe's Cookie Policy: https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal)
• Vimeo/YouTube: If we embed videos, these services may set cookies when you interact with the video player.
• Social Media Platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn): If you use social sharing buttons or interact with embedded social media content.

These third parties have their own privacy policies and cookie policies, which we do not control. We encourage you to review their policies.
