Cookie Policy
The cookies this site uses, and the ones it does not.
Last updated: 25 July 2026
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on this website, which is operated by Oakspire Developments Limited.
The short version
We do not use analytics, advertising, social media or tracking cookies on this site. We do not profile visitors and we do not share browsing data with anyone for marketing. The only cookies set are the ones needed to make the site and the payment process work.
What we deliberately do not load
- No analytics. There is no Google Analytics or any other statistics tool on this site.
- No advertising or social media pixels.
- No embedded maps. We do not embed Google Maps, so no map provider receives your IP address.
- Self-hosted fonts. Our typefaces are served from our own server rather than from Google, so no font request leaves this site.
- No avatar service. We do not load profile images from Gravatar or any similar service.
Cookies that are strictly necessary
These are required for the site to function. They cannot be switched off through this website.
| Set by | Purpose | Roughly how long |
|---|---|---|
| This website (WordPress) | Keeps you signed in if you have an account with us. Most visitors never receive these. | Session to 14 days |
| SureCart | Remembers the item in your basket and keeps your checkout session together while you pay. | Session |
Cookies used when you pay
Card payments on this site are handled by Stripe. When you reach the checkout, Stripe sets its own cookies to process the payment and to detect fraudulent card use. These are necessary to take a payment safely and are set by Stripe rather than by us.
| Set by | Purpose | Roughly how long |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Fraud prevention and secure payment processing at checkout | Session to 1 year |
If you never go to the checkout, these are not set. Stripe publishes its own cookie information at stripe.com/legal/cookies-policy.
Controlling cookies
Because we only use cookies that are strictly necessary for the site and the payment process, there is nothing here to opt out of for advertising or tracking purposes.
You can still block or delete cookies through your browser settings if you prefer. Every major browser lets you do this, usually under Privacy or Security. Be aware that blocking cookies entirely will stop the checkout from working, because the payment process needs to remember your session.
Changes to this page
If we add anything to the site that sets further cookies, we will update this page and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before those cookies are set.
