Cookie policy

Last updated: 9 October 2026

Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. We also use similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage. Together these keep the shop working, remember your choices and, if you agree, help us understand how the site is used.

Your choices

When you first visit, our cookie banner asks for your consent. Strictly necessary cookies are always on, because the shop can't work without them. Everything else stays off unless you accept it. You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the footer of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the shop (like the basket) may then stop working.

Cookies we use

Strictly necessary (always on)

Set by Shopify to run the shop: your basket, checkout, signing in, security and fraud prevention, and remembering your cookie choice. Examples: cart, _shopify_essential, secure_customer_sig, localization, keep_alive, _tracking_consent, _cmp_a. Most last for the session or up to 1 year.

Personalisation / preferences (only with your consent)

Name Type Purpose Duration
aac-nudge-off Local storage (ours) Remembers that you closed our "10% off" pop-up, or already signed up, so we don't show it again 30 days (closed) / until cleared (signed up)

If you don't allow personalisation, the pop-up won't appear automatically. You can still sign up in the footer.

Analytics (only with your consent)

Set by Shopify to tell us how visitors use the shop, such as pages viewed, visits and where visitors came from, so we can improve it. Examples: _shopify_y, _shopify_s, _shopify_sa_t, _shopify_sa_p, _orig_referrer, _landing_page. These last from 30 minutes to 1 year.

Marketing (only with your consent)

Name Set by Purpose Duration
bgvisitor_id, bgaffilite_id, bgclick_id, bglast_click, bgexpire_time, bgcart, bg_flag_pixel_* BixGrow (our affiliate programme) If you arrive through a creator's or affiliate's link, records which affiliate referred you so they can be credited if you buy Up to 30 days

Also used to measure our marketing and, if we advertise on platforms like Google, Meta or TikTok, to show relevant ads and measure them. These are only set if you accept marketing cookies. Any advertising platform we use is listed in our Privacy policy.

The full list of cookies Shopify can set, and how long each lasts, is in Shopify's cookie policy: shopify.com/legal/cookies.

Third-party content

Our Set Finder loads Pokémon sprite images from GitHub (raw.githubusercontent.com). Loading them sends your IP address to GitHub, but no cookies are set. We host our own fonts, so nothing is loaded from Google Fonts.
