This site uses first-party functional cookies only: the bare minimum needed to remember which store you are shopping from and, if you are an editor, to keep you signed in. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies of any kind, first-party or third-party. That is why you have not been shown a consent banner — strictly necessary cookies are exempt under PECR, and there is nothing else here to consent to.

__prerender_bypass | Draft preview (Next.js Draft Mode). Only created for site editors. | Session |
Third-party cookies
On our pages, none. When you press a buy button you leave for the retailer, and from that point its cookies and its policy apply — exactly as they would if you had gone to the shop yourself. The privacy policy and the funding page cover what that means.
How to delete them
You can delete or block these from your browser settings (Settings → Privacy → Cookies). The only consequence is that the site will stop remembering which store you prefer.
