Cookie policy

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit a website. It lets the site remember information about your visit. This policy also covers equivalent technologies such as browser local storage.

Our shop runs on Shopify, which sets most of the cookies below for us. Shopify’s own list is at shopify.com/legal/cookies. The rest come from services built into our pages, named in each section. The lists below reflect a check of our pages on 26 September 2026.

Your choice

This site does not show a cookie banner and does not ask for your consent.

If you visit from the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, which includes France, Shopify’s audience measurement and marketing cookies need your consent, so they are not set. If you visit from another country, Shopify sets them from your first page, as described under “Audience measurement and marketing cookies”.

The other cookies and the local storage described below are set without asking. You can refuse or delete them at any time in your browser settings, as explained under “Browser settings”.

The “Your Privacy Choices” page lets visitors browsing from certain US states opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal data. It does not apply to visitors from other countries, and our footer shows its link only to the visitors it applies to.

Our processing of your personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

Audience measurement and marketing cookies

Payment and security

We take payment through PayPal. The PayPal button on product pages is loaded from paypal.com: in our check it set no cookie and kept only the local storage listed above. When you pay, you continue on PayPal’s pages, which use PayPal’s own cookies, for example to secure the payment and prevent fraud, as described in PayPal’s cookie statement. Recipient: PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A.

Browser settings

You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, to block third-party cookies only, or to delete cookies when you close it. You can also delete what a site has stored, including local storage, by clearing that site’s data. These settings apply to every site you visit. Blocking all cookies may stop the basket and checkout from working. Blocking third-party cookies stops the shop.app and hcaptcha.com cookies listed above. See your browser’s help pages for instructions.
