What these technologies are

Cookies are small text files your browser stores on your device. Pixels are tiny images or scripts that tell a provider a page was loaded. Local storage keeps information on your device without sending it with every request. We refer to all of them as "cookies" below.

Categories

• Strictly necessary — required for the site to work: cart, checkout, login, security, fraud prevention, currency and remembering your cookie choice. Always on.
• Analytics — help us understand how the site is used, including heatmaps and recordings of how visitors move through pages (form fields are masked). Off by default where the law requires consent.
• Marketing — let us and our advertising partners measure our ads and show you relevant ads on other sites and apps. Under some US state laws this is "sharing" or "targeted advertising". Off by default where the law requires consent.
• Preferences — remember favourites, saved suit builds and display choices. Off by default where the law requires consent.
