Payment providers may use cookies, device identifiers or similar technologies for purposes such as:

You may be able to:
- Accept all optional cookies
- Reject optional cookies
- Select individual cookie categories
- Change your preferences later
We will not treat simply continuing to browse the website as consent to non-essential cookies where applicable law requires affirmative consent.
Under UK privacy rules, consent for non-essential cookies should be clear and affirmative rather than inferred merely from continued browsing.
8. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookies through our cookie preference tool, where available.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Most modern browsers allow you to:
- View stored cookies
- Delete existing cookies
- Block cookies
- Allow only certain cookies
- Receive notifications before cookies are stored
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent some parts of our website from functioning correctly, including shopping basket, checkout or account features.
Changing your browser settings does not necessarily withdraw consent that has already been provided through our website’s cookie consent system. Where applicable, please use our cookie preference centre to update your choices.
9. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies
Session cookies are temporary and normally expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
The retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service that places it.
We aim to avoid retaining cookies for longer than reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.
