How we use cookies

We use cookies and related technologies to understand and improve our websites, systems and your experience, including personalising content, adverts and social media features. 

Essential Cookies

We are allowed to store cookies on your computer which are essential for our website to function. No permission is required for these cookies.

These are required for our website to function, and these cookies let you use all the different parts of our websites. Without them, services that you’ve asked for can’t be provided. Some examples of how we use these cookies are:

  • Signing into your account
  • Remembering actions you’ve already taken, such as text you’ve entered into an order or booking form, so it’ll still be there when you go back to the page in the same web session; and
  • Remembering security settings that affect access to certain content, for example, any payment details made for ordering or deposits

Non-Essential Cookies

For all non-essential cookies, we rely on your permission which is obtained by clicking “Allow All” on our cookie banner or via our “Manage Cookies” Page. Your cookie preference shall remain valid until either (if) your preference is updated by you, or (ii) 6 months has passed since your gave your consent; after such time the Cookies banner will appear on your next visit to our website, and you will be required to confirm your cookie preferences again. Furthermore, you can access the “Manage Cookies” page at any time to update your preference, by clicking here. Acceptance or withdrawal of consent for non-essential cookies above will change consent for all types of non-essential cookies.

The Non-Essential Cookies utilised on our website are as follows:

  • Experience

These cookies consist of functional and analytical cookies.

Functional cookies recognise you when you return to our website, enabling us to personalise content and remember preferences (e.g., your region).

Analytical cookies allow us to recognise and count visitor numbers and see how they navigate the website. This helps us identify improvements, e.g. speeding up searches.

  • Advertisement

These cookies record your visit to our website (e.g., links followed, pages visited) and allow us to show you more relevant content and advertisements and to create a profile of what we think might interest you. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

By clicking to agree to our storage of cookies on your device and/or the continued use of our websites, you give us permission to use the types of cookies set out below, in the manner and for the purposes described; see “Cookies We Set”.

However, some cookies, which are identified belong as “global” cookies, have the facility to track data across the user’s use of the websites of our other M&B brands (a list of brands and outlets can be found at www.mbplc.com). Please be assured that such cross-brand tracking is only utilised if the user has provided cookie consent to each of the brands individually.
