Cookie Policy

Your shopping cart

The parts you add, and how many of each, are saved in your own browser's storage on your own device. This is not a cookie, it is never sent to our servers, and we cannot read it. Clearing your browser's site data empties your cart.

Staff sign-in

When a member of our team signs in to manage the catalogue, a session cookie keeps them signed in while they work. It is set only on signing in, so an ordinary visitor browsing the catalogue never receives it.

Sign-in security check

The staff sign-in page runs an automated check to block password-guessing bots. It may set a short-lived cookie from the security service while it confirms the request comes from a real browser. It appears only on that one page.

Visitor and speed measurement

We measure page views and how quickly pages load, so we can keep the site fast. This sets no cookies. A visitor is counted using a value calculated from the request itself, which is discarded within 24 hours and cannot be used to recognise you tomorrow, or on any other website.

Our own search and click records

We record search terms typed into the site, how many results they returned, and taps on the order buttons, so we know which parts people want and what we are missing in stock. This is written to our own records — nothing is stored on your device, and the records carry no name, email, phone number or identifier that would let us group them into a person.

Google AdSense

We show ads through Google AdSense, which runs on every page. Google and its advertising partners set their own cookies to show ads, measure whether they worked, limit how often you see the same one, detect fraudulent clicks and — where you have permitted it — personalise ads based on your earlier visits to this and other sites. These cookies are set by Google, not by us, and we cannot read them.

You can review or turn off ad personalisation at myadcenter.google.com, and read how Google uses data from sites that show its ads at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will be shown a consent message before personalised advertising cookies are used, and you can change that choice at any time from the same message.

Map of our shop

Our contact page embeds a Google map showing where we are. Opening that page loads content from Google, which receives your IP address and may set its own cookies as part of serving the map. No other page on the site embeds third-party content.
