Cookie Policy
We use very few of our own, plus Google Analytics so we can see how the store is used.
Last updated: 16 August 2026 · This policy forms part of our Terms of Service.
What we use
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| fastair_session | Keeps you signed in. Cannot be read by JavaScript. | 30 days |

| fastair_auth_state | Avoids re-checking your sign-in on every page. | Session only |
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit, which pages they read, and where they leave. It tells us that a page is confusing or a step is losing people. It sets the cookies below and sends that information to Google, who process it on our behalf.
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — counts visitors and tells return visits from new ones. | 2 years |
| _ga_… | Google Analytics — keeps track of a single visit. | 2 years |
You can opt out of Google Analytics on every website you visit using Google's opt-out browser add-on.
What we do not use
We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not allow advertisers to track you through this site. We are not building a profile of you to sell, and nothing here follows you around other websites to show you adverts.
Our payment provider
When you pay, you are handed to our payment provider, who sets their own cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud. That happens on their systems and is covered by their own policy.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the session cookie will mean you cannot stay signed in, and clearing browser storage will empty your basket. Blocking analytics cookies changes nothing about how the store works for you.
