Cookies and similar technologies

This policy covers cookies, local storage and session storage. Optional storage is off until you choose to accept it. Essential storage supports features you request, including a basket or sign-in.

Verified website storage

The entries below are first-party browser storage used by this website. Their keys include a store-specific suffix. They are not third-party advertising cookies.

• honey_privacy_v1:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f — local storage recording accept or reject, version and expiry. The choice is valid for 180 days. Expired choices are discarded on the next page load and optional storage is off until a new acceptance.
• sg_cart:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f and sg_cart_revision:v1:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f — local storage for the basket you build and its revision. Entries remain until checkout clears them, you remove items or clear browser data. No automatic browser expiry is currently implemented.
• sg_wishlist:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f — product IDs explicitly saved as favourites, up to 100 items. Stored until removed or browser data is cleared. This feature is used when you request it.
• sg_customer_token:v2:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f and sg_acct_name:v2:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f — sign-in token and greeting name after sign-in. Server-issued sessions normally last 30 days. Sign-out or an invalid-session response clears local sign-in data. Browser storage itself has no automatic expiry.
• sg_checkout_attempt:v1:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f and sg_checkout_return:v1:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f — tab-session storage used to protect checkout attempts and their return state. sg_confirmed_order:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f:… avoids duplicate cart clearing for a confirmed order. These safety entries are functional rather than advertising storage.
• sg_recent:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f and honey_recent_expiry:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f — optional recently viewed product IDs, limited to 12. Written only after acceptance. History expires 30 days after the latest write and is removed on the next read after expiry. Rejection or withdrawal removes it.
• sg_cat:… and sg_cats:… for Honey's STAM catalogue endpoints — optional tab-session catalogue caches with a five-minute freshness check. They are blocked before acceptance and removed when optional storage is rejected.
• sg_promo_seen:cc43443b-2c0c-4895-b85b-6b9a8a1e990f:… — optional record of an offer display. Blocked before acceptance, removed on withdrawal or the next visit after the preference expires. No separate automatic expiry is implemented for each offer record.

Choices and external content

Use Reject optional or Accept optional in the privacy banner. Both choices are available without accepting optional storage. Use Cookie settings at the bottom left to change your choice. Withdrawing permission clears the optional entries listed above and blocks further optional writes. Basket, sign-in and explicitly requested favourites remain usable.

If browser storage is unavailable, optional storage remains off. No Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or live chat identifiers are configured.

Some images and fonts are requested from external providers. Displaying them can disclose technical connection information even when no advertising script runs. The Instagram section uses image requests and links, not an embedded Instagram tracking SDK. Opening an external link takes you to that provider's website, where its own privacy information applies.
