Cookie Policy
Last updated: 20 October 2026
On this page
A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work at all. Others only run if you allow them.
1. Your choice
When you first visit, you choose what you allow. Accepting and refusing are equally easy: both are a single click on the first screen. Nothing other than the strictly necessary cookies below is placed before you have made that choice.
You can change your mind at any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, and a withdrawal takes effect immediately.
2. Strictly necessary — always placed
These make the site work and cannot be turned off.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| _shopify_essential | Shopify | Session and anti-tampering | 1 year |
| _secure_session_id | Shopify | Storefront session | 24 hours |
| cart, cart_sig, cart_ts, cart_currency | Shopify | Shopping cart and checkout integrity | 2 weeks |
| localization | Shopify | Country, language and currency | 1 year |
| keep_alive | Shopify | Keeps your session active | 2 weeks |
| _tracking_consent, _cmp_a | Shopify | Stores your cookie choice | 1 year / 1 day |
| _shopify_test | Shopify | Checks whether cookies work | 1 minute |
| _pandectes_gdpr | Pandectes | Stores your choice and the record of it | Typically 1 year |
Some of these are only set when you use the function they belong to. The cart and session cookies above appear when you use a cart or checkout, not when you are only reading pages.
3. Statistics — only with your permission
These tell us which pages are read, so we can improve the site.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| _shopify_y, _shopify_s | Shopify | Recognises a returning visitor and a session | 1 year / 30 minutes |
| _shopify_analytics | Shopify | Usage statistics | 1 year |
| _landing_page, _orig_referrer | Shopify | Which page you arrived on and where from | 2 weeks |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics usage statistics | Up to 2 years |
The listed third-party analytics tags, such as Google Analytics, are optional tools. Google Analytics is not installed at launch. This does not refer to the Shopify statistics cookies listed above.
4. Marketing — only with your permission
We advertise on Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, Google and Microsoft Bing. These cookies measure whether our advertising works and let those platforms show you our ads elsewhere. Our Privacy Policy explains what the platforms receive and how responsibility is divided.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp, fr | Meta | Measures our Facebook and Instagram advertising | Up to 3 months |
| _ttp | TikTok | Measures our TikTok advertising | Up to 13 months |
| _gcl_au | Measures our Google Ads advertising | Up to 3 months | |
| _uetsid, _uetvid | Microsoft | Measures our Microsoft Bing advertising | Up to 13 months |
| _shopify_marketing | Shopify | Marketing measurement | 1 year |
| shopify_client_id | Shopify | Set by Shopify once you allow optional cookies. Shopify does not publish a separate purpose for this cookie; we have asked and will update this page when we have an answer. | 1 year |
At launch, Meta, TikTok, Google Ads and Microsoft Bing advertising tags are not installed. Their entries above describe cookies that may be used if these tools are enabled in the future and you give the required consent. Shopify marketing cookies and the Klaviyo integration described below are separate from those advertising tags.
Klaviyo and email subscriptions
We use Klaviyo to manage email subscriptions and send the messages you have chosen to receive. Our Shopify integration includes a Klaviyo app pixel, which remains installed. At launch, Klaviyo onsite behavioural tracking, email open and click tracking, and email-to-website tracking are disabled. In our launch checks, the app-pixel code loaded after optional cookies were accepted; no Klaviyo __kla_id cookie was observed. Cookie consent and email subscriptions are separate choices. Use Cookie settings to manage optional cookies, and the preference or unsubscribe links in our emails to manage your email subscription. See our Privacy Policy for information about the processing of subscriber data.
5. Removing cookies and changing your choice
Use the "Cookie settings" link in the footer to change what you allow. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings; how to do that depends on the browser you use. Our signup form is protected by a hidden field that only automated software fills in: it stores nothing on your device, collects no personal data and involves no third party.
6. Changes
We re-check this list whenever the site changes, whenever we add or remove an advertising platform, and at least once a quarter. The date above shows when it last changed.
