1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of them. Some are essential for the site to work. Others help us understand how the site is used or show you relevant ads, and we only use those if you agree.
2. Your choices
When you first visit the site we ask whether you accept analytics and marketing cookies. Essential cookies are always on, because the bag and checkout can't work without them. You can change your mind at any time by deleting the cookies for tredsocks.com in your browser, and we'll ask you again on your next visit.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, parts of the site, such as your bag, won't work. For more help, see ico.org.uk.
