Some cookies are set by trusted third parties that provide services such as analytics, advertising and affiliate tracking. These third parties may process data about your device, browser or browsing behaviour in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Affiliate Cookies (Amazon)
If you click an affiliate link (for example, an Amazon product link), the affiliate partner may place a cookie on your device to track referrals and attribute qualifying purchases. This tracking is handled entirely by the affiliate partner.
5. Legal Basis and Consent
Under UK and EU data protection and ePrivacy laws, we must obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies (such as analytics, advertising or affiliate cookies) on your device.
Where required, we request your consent via a cookie banner or consent tool before these cookies are set. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via your browser settings or our on-site cookie controls (where available).
6. How You Can Manage Cookies
You have control over how cookies are used. You can:

- Receive alerts before cookies are stored
Most browsers include cookie management tools in their Settings or Preferences menu.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature. As there is currently no consistent industry standard for responding to DNT signals, the Site does not automatically respond to these signals.
