These technologies can help websites operate, remember preferences, understand website usage and measure advertising.

2. Types of cookies and technologies we use

These technologies are required for core website functions.

They may be used for purposes such as:

Where permitted by law, strictly necessary technologies do not require consent.

For example, they may tell us:

• which pages are visited;
• how visitors reached our website;
• how visitors move around the site;

We may use services including Google Analytics for this purpose.

Our website is powered by Shopify.

Shopify may use cookies and similar technologies necessary to provide ecommerce functionality, maintain sessions, operate checkout, secure transactions and support other website functions.

4. Payment providers

Payment providers such as:
