Cookies that need your consent
These only run if you accept them in the cookie banner.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| sbjs_… | This website (WooCommerce order attribution) | Records how you arrived at the site, for example from a search or an advert, so we can see which channels lead to orders | Session |

The Google Ads tag loads on every page but sets no cookies until you accept. Before you accept, it sends Google a cookieless signal that does not identify you, which Google uses to estimate how its adverts perform in aggregate.
If we add analytics tools, they will only run after you accept them, and we will list them here.
