Cookie Policy
Cookies are small bits of text sent by our servers to your computer or device when you access our services.
They are stored in your browser and later sent back to our servers so that we can provide contextual content.
Without cookies, using the web would be a much more frustrating experience.
We use them to support your activities on our website. For example, your session (so you don't have to login again) or your shopping cart.
Cookies are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current activity on our website (the pages you have
visited), your language and country, which enables us to provide you with improved services.
We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer
better site experiences and tools in the future.
Here is an overview of the cookies that may be stored on your device when you visit our website:
Strictly necessary Always active
Needed for the site to work: signing in, keeping your cart, remembering your language and recording the cookie choice you make here. These cannot be switched off.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Retention | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cids |
This website | Remembers which company's data you are working in, on multi-company sites. Determines the scope of the records served. Without it the site cannot show the correct company's content to a signed-in user. | 1 year | HTTP Cookie |
color_scheme |
This website | Holds whether the interface is drawn light or dark. Written while the interface loads, from your saved preference or appearance requested. It carries no identifier and decides only how the page is drawn. | 1 year | HTTP Cookie |
frontend_lang |
This website | Remembers the language you chose so pages are served in it. Set while the page is served, so the language you are reading is the one the next page arrives in. Required to serve the site at all, and it holds a language code and nothing else. | 1 year | HTTP Cookie |
_GRECAPTCHA |
Google Ireland Limited | Set by reCAPTCHA when a form is protected against automated abuse, to tell a person from a script. Only set where the site protects a form you chose to submit, and only to decide whether that submission is automated. | 6 months | HTTP Cookie |
session_id |
This website | Identifies your browsing session so the server can keep you signed in and keep your basket. Without a session identifier the server cannot associate requests with each other, so signing in, checking out and any form submission become impossible. This is the classic example of a cookie strictly necessary for a service the user requested. | 7 days of inactivity | HTTP Cookie |
sh_cookie_consent |
This website | Stores the cookie choice you made here, so you are not asked again on every page. Recording a consent decision is itself strictly necessary: without it the choice could not be honoured or demonstrated. Regulators treat the consent record as exempt for this reason. | 6 to 24 months, depending on your region | HTTP Cookie |
tz |
This website | Holds your time zone so dates and times are shown correctly. Needed to render times correctly in the service you requested. It holds a time zone name; where visitor statistics are switched on, that zone is also stamped on the visit record. | Session | HTTP Cookie |
website_cookies_bar |
This website | Mirrors your choice for parts of Odoo that read the built-in consent cookie. Written alongside the record above so that the rest of Odoo honours the same decision. Serves no purpose other than carrying the consent state. | 6 to 24 months, depending on your region | HTTP Cookie |
website_sale_cart_quantity |
This website | Holds how many items your basket contains, so the header count is right before the page has finished loading. A count of what you put in your own basket, kept for the shop you are using. Dropped when the tab closes. | Session | Session Storage |
Functional
Remember choices you make so the site can behave the way you prefer, such as a chat widget or an embedded map. Refusing these keeps the site working, with fewer conveniences.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser's Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
We honour the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser or an extension sends it, we treat that as a refusal of every optional purpose and load nothing that is not strictly necessary, whatever you may have chosen here before.
