Cookie Policy
Last updated: 9 September 2026
What this page covers
This is a plain explanation of every cookie and piece of browser storage this site actually uses. If it isn't listed here, this site doesn't use it.
How your choice works
When you first visit, a banner asks whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Nothing beyond strictly essential cookies is set until you actively choose "Accept" (either the banner button or via "Manage preferences"). No box is pre-ticked, Accept and Reject are given equal visual weight, and you can change your choice at any time using "Cookie preferences" in the footer.
Essential (always on — no consent required)
| Name / key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
awd.cart.v1 | Remembers what's in your cart across pages and visits | Until cleared or cart emptied |
awd.checkout.v1 | Keeps your place in checkout if you reload or go back | Session |
| Cookie-consent choice | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies | 6 months |
Analytics (only with your consent)
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|
Google Analytics 4 (e.g. _ga, _ga_*) | Understand which pages are used, in aggregate — never used to identify you personally | Up to 2 years | Google, only after you accept |
Google Analytics 4 runs with Google's Consent Mode: analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization are all set to denied by default, and the Analytics script itself is not loaded into the page at all until you accept. This site does not use Google Analytics for advertising, and no ad-related cookies are ever set.
Rejecting or withdrawing consent
Choosing "Reject," or later switching Analytics off in "Manage preferences," stops Google Analytics from loading or setting any cookie going forward. It doesn't retroactively delete data already collected under an earlier consent, but no new data is collected after you withdraw.
No other tracking
This site doesn't use advertising cookies, third-party marketing pixels, session-recording tools, or cross-site tracking of any kind.
