Cookie Policy

01. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a site stores on your browser. Cookies allow the site to recognise the same visitor on a subsequent page or visit, and they are how a basket retains its contents while you continue browsing.

This page describes the cookies set by syardmedia.com and what they are used for. For broader privacy information see our Privacy Policy.

02. How we use them

We use cookies for three purposes only:

• To keep you signed in and to retain your shopping bag.
• To understand which pages are read and how the site is used in aggregate.
• To prevent fraud and keep the checkout secure.

We do not use advertising cookies, behavioural retargeting, or third party tracking pixels.

03. Categories

The cookies in use fall into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary. Session cookies for authentication and the shopping bag, plus a CSRF token used at checkout. Cannot be disabled.
• Analytics. A privacy preserving analytics cookie that measures page views and session duration in aggregate. No identifiers leave the EU. Anonymised after fourteen months.
• Preference. A small cookie that remembers your country and currency selection.

04. Managing cookies

You can accept or refuse non essential cookies via the banner shown on first visit. You can revisit the choice at any time using the cookie preferences link in the footer. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be refused, the site requires them to function.

Most browsers also let you delete cookies or block them at a domain level. Please refer to your browser's help page for instructions.
