Your choice
You decide what is optional
On your first visit a banner asks you to choose. Essential only keeps the basket, sign in and secure payments working and nothing else. Accept also turns on the Recently viewed row and a note of which website sent you here.
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Similar tools, such as local storage, work the same way. This page lists each one this website uses and what it does. Change your choice at any time with the cookie settings.
