Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies and local browser storage are small text files or key-value stores placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time.

How we use cookies and local storage

We keep our tracking footprint as small as possible. We do not use third-party advertising networks, behavioural retargeting trackers, or marketing surveillance tools. We use only strictly necessary and functional storage:

• Shopping basket (`ssc_cart`): Stored in your browser's local storage so that items you add to your basket remain intact as you navigate between pages.
• Age verification confirmation (`ssc_age_verified`): Remembers that you have confirmed you are 18 or over so you are not interrupted by the verification modal on every subsequent page.
• Live chat support (Zoho SalesIQ): Functional session cookies that allow customer support conversations to persist during your visit and provide real-time assistance.

Managing cookies

You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling local storage or essential cookies may prevent your shopping basket from functioning correctly.
