What we use cookies for
Cookies keep you signed in, protect forms against forgery, remember your language and keep a guest’s account or group order on the device they used. Two cookies record which link brought a visitor, so a referral or a directory listing is credited. We use no advertising cookies and share none with an advertising network. On the public pages only, and only if you allow it, Google Analytics sets two cookies (_ga and _ga_*) to count visits anonymously; your IP address is anonymised and nothing is used for advertising. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings”.

Storage in your browser
Some pages also keep small notes in your browser’s local storage, which stay on your device: a guest’s basket before ordering, the last order to follow, and display choices such as open menu sections or a sound setting. Clearing the site’s data in your browser removes them.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings. Without the necessary ones you cannot sign in, order or pay. Deleting the attribution cookies only means a referral or a directory visit is not credited. For questions, write to the contact page.
