Cookie Policy
Last updated: 21 July 2026
This page explains every cookie and browser-storage item this site uses, why, and for how long. Nothing non-essential loads before you choose to allow it, and your choice is never assumed.
How consent works here
When you first visit, a banner asks you to choose: accept all, reject non-essential, or open preferences for a category-by-category choice. No box is pre-ticked, both "accept" and "reject" are equally prominent, and no non-essential script exists in the page before you choose. Your choice is stored locally and applied on every later visit; you can change it at any time using the button above or the "Change cookie settings" link in the footer.
Cookie / storage table
| Name | Type | Category | Purpose | Duration |

| Name: dd.consent.v1 | Type: localStorage | Category: Strictly necessary | Purpose: Stores your cookie-consent choice so we don't ask again on every visit | Duration: Until you clear your browser storage or change your choice |
| Name: dd.cart.v1 | Type: localStorage | Category: Strictly necessary | Purpose: Stores the contents of your shopping cart between pages and visits | Duration: Until you clear your cart, complete checkout, or clear your browser storage |
| Name: dd.lastOrder.v1 | Type: sessionStorage | Category: Strictly necessary | Purpose: Holds your most recent order reference so /order-confirmed/ can display it | Duration: Cleared automatically when you close your browser tab/session |
| Name: Google Analytics 4 cookies (_ga, _ga_*) | Type: Cookie | Category: Analytics (optional) | Purpose: Measures aggregate site usage (pages viewed, general traffic patterns) to help us improve the site | Duration: Up to 13 months, per Google's default GA4 retention; only set if you accept analytics |
Categories, in the preferences modal
Strictly necessary — always on, cannot be disabled. Covers the cart, the order reference, and the record of your own consent choice.
Analytics — off by default. Covers Google Analytics 4. Loads only once you switch this on and save, or choose "Accept all."
No third category exists — this site carries no advertising or marketing cookies.
Changing your mind
Use "Change cookie settings" (top of this page, or in the footer) at any time. Turning analytics off stops future data collection immediately; it does not retroactively delete data already recorded by Google Analytics, which follows Google's own retention period stated above.
