Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve how they perform, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies such as local storage and session storage do much the same job, and this policy covers those too.

How we use cookies

We use only the cookies and storage needed to make this website work and to remember your cookie preference. We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not share data about your visit with advertising networks.

The cookies we use

Strictly necessary

These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include the storage that records your cookie choice so you are not asked on every page, a short reference held while you take the style quiz so your results can be shown to you, and a sign-in session cookie used only by our own staff in the site’s administration area. The sign-in cookie is marked HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite=Strict and lasts fourteen days.

Performance and analytics

These would tell us how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We do not currently use any analytics cookies on this website. If we introduce them, they will be loaded only where you have accepted cookies, and this policy will be updated first.

Marketing and advertising

We do not use marketing or advertising cookies on this website.

Managing your preferences

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the banner shown on your first visit. To change your choice, clear this site’s data in your browser settings and the banner will appear again on your next visit.

You can also control cookies through your browser, which will let you block or delete them and warn you before one is set. This is usually found under Settings, then Privacy. Please note that blocking all cookies will prevent our staff from signing in to the administration area, and may affect other websites you use.

Third-party websites

Our pages link to our Instagram and Facebook accounts. Those websites set their own cookies once you arrive, and we have no control over them. Please see their own cookie policies for details.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page and the date at the top will be revised.
