1What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you come back or browse between pages.

Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

2Types of Cookies We Use

Always Active

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. Without them, core features such as logging in and placing orders cannot work. They cannot be disabled.

  • Session Cookie — Keeps you logged in while you navigate the Platform. Expires when you close your browser.
  • Authentication Cookie (Supabase) — A secure, HTTP-only cookie used to validate your login session across page loads. Expires after 7 days of inactivity.
Optional

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform so we can improve it. All data collected is aggregated and anonymous — we do not use it to identify you personally.

  • Page View Analytics — Records which pages are visited and for how long, helping us identify popular content and areas for improvement.
  • Error Tracking — Logs client-side errors anonymously so our team can diagnose and fix issues quickly.

We currently use only privacy-friendly, self-hosted analytics tools. We do not use Google Analytics or third-party advertising trackers.

Optional

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your choices and settings to give you a more personalised experience on return visits.

  • Delivery Area Preference— Remembers your selected delivery area so you don't need to re-select it on each visit.
  • Theme / Display Settings — Stores any display preferences you have set within your account.

3Third-Party Cookies

We do not serve advertising cookies or share cookie data with marketing networks. The only third-party service that may set a cookie is Stripe during the payment checkout process. Stripe uses cookies solely to prevent fraud and ensure payment security. Their use is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

4How to Control or Disable Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Please note that removing or blocking essential cookies will affect your ability to use the Platform (for example, you will not be able to stay logged in).

  • Browser SettingsMost browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation: Chrome → Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies; Firefox → Preferences → Privacy & Security; Safari → Preferences → Privacy.
  • Opt-Out ToolsFor analytics cookies, you may opt out at any time by adjusting your account privacy settings or by contacting us directly.
  • Private / Incognito ModeBrowsing in private mode prevents persistent cookies from being stored. Session cookies will still work during your browsing session but are deleted when you close the window.

5Legal Basis

Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent. For optional analytics and preference cookies, we rely on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time. Our use of cookies is also described in our Privacy Policy.

6Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via email or a prominent notice on the Platform. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised.
