Cookies

Last updated 13 November 2026

Cookies are small files a website saves on your phone or computer. Some are needed for our website to work. The ones that count visits and help us show you relevant ads are only used if you choose Accept on our cookie banner. If you choose Decline, or don't choose at all, they are never set.

Cookies we always use

These keep the website, your basket and our forms working and safe, so they can't be switched off.

  • crumb (Squarespace, our website host): keeps your basket and our forms secure. Deleted when you close your browser.
  • __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid (Stripe, who handle card payments): help stop card fraud at checkout. They last 1 year and 30 minutes.
  • m (Stripe, set on stripe.com): also helps stop card fraud. Lasts about 13 months.
  • _GRECAPTCHA (Google reCAPTCHA, set on google.com): stops spam on our forms. Lasts 6 months.
  • ss_performanceCookiesAllowed and ss_marketingCookiesAllowed (Squarespace): remember whether you chose Accept or Decline, so we don't keep asking. They last 30 days.

Cookies we only use if you choose Accept

Counting visits, so we know which pages people use:

  • ss_cvr and ss_cvt (Squarespace Analytics): count visitors and visits. They last about 13 months and 30 minutes.
  • _ga, _gid and _gat_gtag_UA_46992660_1 (Google Analytics): count visits. They last about 13 months, 24 hours and 1 minute.

Relevant ads, on Facebook and Instagram:

  • _fbp (Meta, set on our website) and fr (Meta, set on facebook.com): let us show our ads to people who have visited us and tell us whether an ad led to a visit or an order. They last 90 days.

Other things our website stores on your device

Some features save small notes in your browser's storage instead of a cookie. They stay until you clear your browser's site data.

  • Henry, our chat assistant (Voiceflow): voiceflow-client-id and voiceflow-session keep your conversation going from page to page.
  • Book a Table (Supabase, which runs our booking system): a sign-in token lets the booking form check free tables and save your booking.
  • Announcement bar and pop-ups (Squarespace): remember that you closed them.
  • Where you came from (Squarespace Analytics): lastExternalReferrer, only if you choose Accept.
  • The robin hunt (our Christmas game): hxHunt remembers which robins you've found.

Changing your mind

You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie Preferences button that appears at the bottom of each page once you've chosen. Your choice is remembered for 30 days, then we ask again. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's settings, but checkout and our forms need the ones we always use.
