Visitors should be offered the ability to:

Not selecting an option, continuing to browse or closing the cookie banner will not be treated as consent where active consent is legally required.
Changing Your Cookie Preferences
Cookie preferences can be changed at any time through the Cookie Settings link or button displayed on the website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of cookies used before consent was withdrawn.
Previously stored cookies may remain on the device until they expire or are deleted through the browser settings.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most browsers allow users to:
- View stored cookies
- Delete individual cookies
- Delete all cookies
- Block cookies from particular websites
- Block third-party cookies

The method differs between browsers. Instructions are normally available within the browser’s privacy or security settings.
Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of the website. Shopping baskets, customer accounts, checkout functions and saved preferences may not work correctly.
Cookie Retention
The period for which a cookie remains on a device depends on its purpose.
Session cookies generally expire when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies may remain for several days, months or longer, depending on the cookie and the provider that set it.
We aim to avoid keeping cookie information for longer than reasonably necessary. Third-party providers determine the retention periods for cookies under their control.
International Data Transfers

Where we are responsible for such a transfer, we seek to use providers that apply an appropriate transfer safeguard, such as:
- A European Commission adequacy decision

- Another legally recognised transfer mechanism
Third-party providers may also process information as independent data controllers under their own privacy policies.
