Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a web server when you visit a website. They enable the site to recognise your device and retain certain information about your actions and preferences across sessions or within a single browsing session, depending on their type and configuration.

This Cookie Policy ("Policy") governs the use of cookies and analogous browser-based storage technologies employed by this website, including session storage and the Web Storage API (localStorage). Where such technologies serve functions comparable to cookies that is, the retention of state or preference data within the user's browser environment they are addressed in this Policy accordingly.

This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Notice, which sets out the broader legal bases for data processing, the identity of third-party data processors, and the rights available to data subjects under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the "General Data Protection Regulation" or "GDPR").

A strictly necessary HTTP-only session cookie is issued to the user's browser upon the successful completion of a payment transaction. This cookie is technically indispensable to the post-purchase workflow: it authenticates the user's session and authorises the secure delivery or download of purchased digital products.

This cookie does not contain any personally identifiable information. It is cryptographically signed, transmitted exclusively over encrypted connections by virtue of the Secure attribute, and rendered inaccessible to client-side scripts by virtue of the HttpOnly attribute. Its duration is limited to the immediate post-purchase session and expires upon session termination.

As this cookie is strictly necessary for the delivery of a service explicitly requested by the user, it does not require consent under applicable law and cannot be disabled without materially impairing the functionality of the purchase and delivery workflow.

Legal basis: Exempt from consent requirements; necessary for the performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) and for the provision of a service explicitly requested by the data subject.

This website employs the browser's Web Storage API (localStorage) to retain a limited set of user interface preferences and session-state data. This mechanism operates exclusively within the user's own device and browser environment; no data stored via local storage is transmitted to this website's servers or to any third party.

Local storage is used solely for the following functional purposes:

• Retention of display preferences, such as the selected colour scheme (e.g., light or dark mode), to ensure a consistent visual experience across sessions.
• Temporary maintenance of shopping cart contents during an active browsing session, to preserve user selections in the absence of an authenticated account session.

Local storage is a browser-based storage mechanism and is distinct from cookies in its technical implementation. It does not track activity across third-party websites, is not accessible to remote servers, and cannot be used to identify or profile individual users.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) specifically, the provision of a functional and user-consistent browsing experience. Users may clear locally stored data at any time through their browser's built-in storage management interface.

This website employs Google Analytics, a web analytics service operated by Google LLC, to collect anonymised and aggregated data regarding visitor behaviour and site usage. Google Analytics sets its own cookies on the user's device to generate this data. The information collected may include pages visited, session duration, referral source, approximate geographic region, device type, and browser version.

Consent mechanism. Analytics cookies are disabled by default. No cookies are set, and no data is transmitted to Google, prior to the explicit grant of consent by the user. This is enforced via Google Consent Mode v2, whereby the analytics_storage and ad_storage parameters are initialised in a denied state and are only updated to granted upon a positive and informed consent action by the user.

All data collected is depersonalised at the point of collection. IP addresses are anonymised prior to processing. No personally identifiable information is stored or shared through this service. The data is used exclusively to evaluate and improve site performance and content delivery.

Legal basis: Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Consent may be withdrawn at any time using the controls provided in the "Your Choices" section below.

Third-party processor: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. International data transfers are governed by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and applicable Standard Contractual Clauses. Further information is available in Google's Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Terms of Service.

To maintain technical stability and facilitate the diagnosis and remediation of software defects, this website integrates Sentry, an application performance monitoring platform operated by Functional Software, Inc. Sentry may employ cookies or analogous session identifiers to associate diagnostic events with a specific browser session for the purpose of error reproduction and resolution.

Data captured by Sentry may include browser type and version, operating system, device type, JavaScript error messages and stack traces, and application state at the time of the error event. This data is used solely for the purpose of identifying and resolving technical malfunctions and is never used for user profiling, behavioural tracking, or cross-site monitoring.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) specifically, the legitimate interest of maintaining a secure, functional, and reliable service. This processing is proportionate and does not override the fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects.

Third-party processor: Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry), 45 Fremont Street, 8th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA. Further information is available in Sentry's Privacy Policy.

The third-party services referenced in this Policy including Google Analytics and Sentry operate as independent data processors and, in certain respects, as independent data controllers in relation to data they collect via their own technologies. Their use of cookies, session identifiers, and related tracking mechanisms is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies, over which this website exercises no control.

Data subjects are encouraged to review the privacy documentation of each third-party service for full information regarding the categories of data collected, the purposes of processing, applicable retention periods, and the rights available to them in relation to those services specifically.

This website has entered into Data Processing Agreements with applicable third-party processors in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, where required.

In accordance with applicable data protection law, you have the right to grant, restrict, or withdraw consent to the use of non-essential cookies and similar technologies at any time.
