You can change this preference at any time. Essential storage used for core website features is not switched off by this control.
What browser storage is
Cookies and similar browser-storage technologies let a website remember information on your device. Some are necessary to provide a feature you requested; others are optional and can be used to understand how the site is used.
Essential storage
- Shopping-basket and display preferences needed to keep the storefront usable between pages.
- Authentication or security information used when you sign in to protected account or staff areas.
- Short-lived interface state, such as remembering whether a navigation panel is open.
- Your saved cookie/analytics choice so the site does not repeatedly ask you.
Optional first-party analytics
If you choose “Allow analytics”, the site can record first-party events such as page views, product interactions, basket progression, protected quote submissions and protected order or payment milestones. The event name is restricted, product and experiment references are checked against current records, and order or payment values come from the saved server record rather than browser-supplied figures. Search text, contact details, addresses and URL query strings are not retained in these events; an external referrer is reduced to its host name. A short, bounded retry queue can remain in session storage after a temporary connection failure. The recorder and that retry queue stay off or are cleared when your saved choice is “Essential only”.
Checkout and order information
Information needed to create, pay for, produce and fulfil an order is not treated as optional analytics. Where an unfinished-basket follow-up is offered, contact details are used for that purpose only when the relevant permission has been actively selected.
Third-party payment pages
When you are redirected to a payment provider such as Stripe, that provider may use its own essential security, fraud-prevention and payment technologies. Its processing is governed by its own privacy and cookie information.
Changing or clearing storage
You can use the controls on this page at any time. Your browser also lets you clear site data. Clearing site data may remove your saved preference and other useful settings, so the website may ask for your choice again.
