Cookie Policy
Last updated: 22 September 2026 · Effective immediately
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. On your next visit the browser sends it back, which lets the site recognise the same browser — for example to remember a preference, keep a session alive or count a visit.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by another domain whose content is embedded in the page are third-party cookies. A session cookie disappears when you close the browser; a persistent cookie stays until it expires or you delete it.
2. Our approach
This Site is deliberately light on tracking. We do not operate a shopping cart, user accounts or a login, so we have very little need for cookies. We do not use cookies to build behavioural profiles of individual visitors, and we do not sell any data derived from them.
Everything on this Site — every page, every product, the inquiry form — works perfectly well with cookies blocked. Nothing is gated behind accepting them.
3. Categories we use
3.1 Strictly necessary
Required for the Site to function and to be protected from abuse: maintaining the integrity of a form submission, load balancing, and basic anti-spam measures. These cannot be switched off through a consent banner because the Site would not work correctly without them. They store no information that identifies you personally.
3.2 Preference
Remember choices you have made, so the Site behaves the way you left it. These are optional and only ever set as a result of something you did.
3.3 Analytics
Where enabled, these help us count visits and understand in aggregate which pages and product categories attract interest, so we know what to photograph better or explain more clearly. The reports we see are statistical — visits, pages, referrers, device types — not profiles of named individuals. We configure IP anonymisation where the provider offers it.
3.4 Advertising
We advertise our wholesale catalogue online, including through Google Ads. If you arrive via an advertisement, the advertising network may set a cookie to record that the click led to a visit and to limit how often the same advertisement is shown to you. We use this for conversion measurement only. See section 5.
4. Cookies in detail
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | First party | Maintains the server session that keeps a form submission consistent and guards against automated abuse. | Strictly necessary | Session |
| cookie_notice | First party | Remembers that you have already seen and dismissed the cookie notice, so it is not shown again. | Preference | 12 months |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one browser from another so that visits can be counted without being double-counted. | Analytics | 24 months |
| _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Holds the analytics session state for this property. | Analytics | 24 months |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes browsers over a shorter window for daily reporting. | Analytics | 24 hours |
| _gcl_au | Records that an advertisement click led to a visit, so we can measure whether our advertising works. | Advertising | 90 days |
Analytics and advertising cookies are set only where those services are active on the Site. Names and durations are set by the providers and may change; this table reflects their published values at the date of this policy.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies above are placed by companies other than us. We do not control them, and their own privacy policies govern what they do with the data:
- Google Analytics / Google Ads — policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with the official browser add-on, and control advertising personalisation at adssettings.google.com.
- Google Fonts — this Site loads its typefaces from Google's font service. Fonts are delivered without setting cookies, although the request itself reveals your IP address to Google, as any request to any server does.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many networks at once via optout.aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
6. Other local storage
Beyond cookies, browsers offer localStorage and sessionStorage. This
Site does not use them to track you. Any value stored there would be a convenience — such as
remembering a catalogue filter during your visit — held only in your own browser, never sent to
our server and never shared. Clearing your site data removes it.
7. How to control cookies
Every modern browser lets you see which cookies are stored, delete them, block them from particular sites, or block them all. Blocking cookies will not stop you reading this Site or sending us an inquiry.
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Safari — Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
- Mobile browsers — the equivalent section of the app's settings, or your device privacy settings
Private or incognito windows discard cookies automatically when you close them.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signal. There is still no single industry standard for how a website should respond to DNT. Because we do not build advertising profiles of individual visitors, our handling of your data is the same whether or not you send the signal. Where we are legally required to treat a Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out request, we do so.
9. Changes to this policy
If we add or remove a service that sets cookies, we will update the table in section 4 and the date at the top of this page. Please check back occasionally.
10. Contact
Questions about cookies, or about anything in this policy, are welcome. See also our Privacy Policy.
