Cookie policy
We use only strictly necessary cookies. They keep your basket and currency, let you log in, and help checkout and payments work securely. If you switch the site to night photos, your browser remembers that choice. We do not use analytics, advertising or social media cookies, so we do not need to ask for your consent. This page lists everything we store.

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage and session storage, work in a similar way. Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and the ePrivacy rules in other countries, a website does not need your consent for storage that is strictly necessary to provide the service you ask for, or that remembers a display preference you have chosen. Everything listed below falls into these categories.

Other storage in your browser
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|

| wc_fragments_*, wc_cart_hash_* | Session storage | Shows your basket quickly | Cleared when you close the browser tab |
Your country is worked out from your IP address on our own server so we can show your currency. This does not set a separate cookie. The result is stored in the shopping session cookie above.

These are set only on pages where payment options are shown, such as checkout, and only once these payment options are offered.

Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. If you block the cookies above, your basket, login and checkout will not work. If you clear local storage, the site will go back to showing day photos.
If we ever add cookies that are not strictly necessary, such as analytics, we will ask for your consent first. Refusing will be as easy as accepting, and we will update this page.
