Cookie Policy
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device to remember information between visits. We use them to keep the shop working, remember your choices, and — only with your consent — to understand how visitors use the site.
Categories we use
- Necessary — required for the site to work: keeps you logged in, remembers your basket, and records your cookie choice. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics — Google Analytics, so we can see how visitors use the shop and improve it. Only loads after you accept.
- Preferences — would remember small display choices. Nothing uses this category yet, but it exists so your choice is saved and honoured if we add one.
- Marketing — Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram ads) and Google's advertising features: measure how our ads perform and show our toys to people who visited the shop. Only loads after you accept.

The Meta cookie is set only once you accept the Marketing category; nothing is sent to Meta before that. With Marketing accepted, Google may also use its own advertising cookies on Google domains.
Legal basis
Necessary cookies are set under our legitimate interest in operating the shop and do not require consent under GDPR/ePrivacy rules. Analytics, Preferences and Marketing cookies are set only with your freely-given, specific consent.
Changing or withdrawing your consent
Click Cookie settings in the footer at any time to reopen the preferences panel and change your choices, including withdrawing consent entirely. Withdrawing is exactly as easy as giving consent.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Every browser lets you view, delete and block cookies from its own settings, usually under Privacy or Security. Blocking necessary cookies will likely break the basket and checkout.
Third-party data
Where you have consented to Analytics, some data is transferred to Google LLC. See Google's Privacy Policy for how Google handles that data.
Where you have consented to Marketing, data about your visit (pages viewed, items added to the basket, purchases) is transferred to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. and, for advertising, to Google. See Meta's Privacy Policy for how Meta handles that data.
