Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, work in the same way. This page lists what this website uses.
Essential cookies
These make the shop work (your basket, checkout and account), so they’re always on. They aren’t used to track you on other websites.

|---|---|---|
| swanz_recently_viewed (local storage) | The products you’ve looked at, for the “Recently viewed” list on product pages. It holds product numbers only and isn’t used to identify you. | Until you clear your browser’s data |
Videos
Our product videos are on YouTube. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play; the video then plays in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), and Google’s privacy policy applies to it.
Analytics and advertising
We don’t use analytics or advertising cookies. If we add any, we’ll ask for your consent first and update this page.
Managing cookies
You can see and delete cookies and site data in your browser’s settings. If you block essential cookies, the basket and checkout won’t work.
