1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Cookies let a site remember things between pages
or visits, such as that you are logged in. Some last only until you close your browser ("session" cookies); others last
for a set time ("persistent" cookies).
2. Your choice
When you first visit, we ask whether you accept analytics cookies. We don't set them unless you click
Accept analytics. Essential cookies are always used, because the site can't work without them.
You can change your mind at any time: open cookie settings.
3. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | How long | Type |
|---|
ASP.NET_SessionId | Keeps your visit working from page to page (for example, a shopping basket or a form you are filling in). | Until you close your browser | Essential |
IWDAuth | Keeps you logged in to your account. It is encrypted and can't be read or changed by your browser. | 1 day, or until you log out | Essential |
iwd_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies. | 6 months | Essential |
_ga, _ga_RK6BWK4T9R | Google Analytics: counts visits and shows us which pages are used, so we can improve the site. Only set if you accept. | Up to 2 years | Analytics (optional) |
4. Other services on some pages
Some pages include content or services from other companies, which may set their own cookies under their own policies:
- Google reCAPTCHA on forms, to stop spam and automated abuse (needed for security).
- Stripe when you pay online, to process the payment and prevent fraud (needed for payment).
- YouTube and Vimeo when you play an embedded video.
- X (Twitter) where posts or share buttons are shown.
5. Controlling and deleting cookies
As well as using our cookie settings, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential
cookies, parts of the site such as logging in or checking out won't work.
For how we handle personal information more generally, see our privacy policy.
