Cookie policy
Every cookie we set, why we set it, and how to control it.
About this policy
We use cookies in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR. For questions about cookies, contact us.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and tracking pixels. We don’t use tracking pixels, analytics or advertising cookies, or third-party cookies of any kind. We count visits on our own server without storing anything in your browser (see our Privacy policy).
The cookies we use
This is the complete list. If we ever add a cookie, it will appear here first.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
fp_web | Keeps the site working as you browse: your basket, your store choice, sign-in and security checks on forms. We also use it to keep a record of what’s in your basket (see our Privacy policy). | When you close your browser, or after a period of inactivity |
fp_consent | Remembers your cookie choice, so we don’t ask on every page. | 6 months |
fp_ref | Optional. Set only if you arrive through a partner’s link and accept optional cookies. Holds that partner’s referral code so they’re credited if you order. It contains no personal details. | 30 days |
These cookies use the __Host- prefix, which locks each cookie to this exact website so no other site can read or change it. All of them are first-party cookies, are only ever sent over an encrypted connection, and can’t be read by scripts on the page.
Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Your browser’s help pages explain how.
If you block the fp_web cookie, the basket, checkout and sign-in won’t work. Turning down optional cookies, or blocking fp_ref, has no effect on your shopping.
Other websites
When you pay, you may be taken to our payment provider’s page, which may set its own cookies under its own privacy notice. We don’t control those, so please check that provider’s notice.
Updates to this policy
We review this policy whenever the cookies we use or the law change. The date at the top of this page shows the current version.
