A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations I have to tell you which ones this site uses, and ask before setting any that are not strictly necessary.
Strictly necessary — always on
These make the site work. Without them the basket empties and checkout fails, so they do not need consent and cannot be turned off.
| Cookie | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| woocommerce_cart_hash | Remembers what is in your basket | Session |
| woocommerce_items_in_cart | Remembers what is in your basket | Session |
| wp_woocommerce_session_* | Links your basket and checkout to you | 2 days |
| wordpress_logged_in_* | Keeps you signed in, if you have an account | Session, or 14 days if you tick “remember me” |
| sl_consent | Remembers the cookie choices you made here | 6 months |
Analytics — only if you say yes
Google Analytics tells me which work people look at and where they lose interest, which is how the shop gets easier to use. IP addresses are anonymised and nothing is used for advertising.
| Cookie | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Tells one browser from another | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Keeps track of a single visit | 2 years |
Embedded content — only if you say yes
The map on the contact page comes from OpenStreetMap. It does not load at all until you press the button, so nothing is requested from them unless you ask for it.
