What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website asks your browser to store, and which are sent back on each request so the site can recognise you between page loads.
We also use similar browser storage — localStorage and sessionStorage — for things like keeping you signed in and remembering your preferences. On this page we refer to all of these simply as cookies.
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to function, so we do not ask permission for these. They keep you signed in, remember your consent choice, protect forms against abuse and keep your cart and checkout working.
Functional
Remember choices you have made — language, currency, timezone and layout preferences — so you do not set them again on every visit. Declining these means the site still works, but forgets your preferences.
Analytics
Anonymous usage statistics that show us which pages are slow, broken or confusing, so we can prioritise fixes. These only run if you accept them.
Marketing
Used to measure campaigns and limit how often you see the same promotion. These only run if you accept them, and you can withdraw that at any time.
Third parties
Some cookies are set by services we rely on — payment providers during checkout, and our identity verification provider during seller verification. Those providers set their own cookies under their own policies.
Changing your mind
Use the buttons at the top of this page to reopen the preference panel or clear your stored decision entirely. Clearing it means you will be asked again on your next visit.
