Every cookie we set, listed by name. Nothing optional is set unless you say yes.

This page explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on workfurnituredirect.co.uk, what each of them does, and how you can change your mind at any time.
It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal information more generally.
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. Websites also use similar technologies such as local storage, which works in much the same way. We use the word "cookies" on this page to cover both.
Cookies let a site remember things between page loads, such as what is in your basket and whether you are signed in. They can also be used to measure how a site is used, or to support advertising.
When you first visit us you are asked to choose. You can:
Nothing in the non-essential categories is set unless you agree to it. Rejecting them does not stop you shopping and does not restrict any part of the site.
You can change your choice whenever you like using the Cookie preferences link in the footer of every page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings, although if you block the strictly necessary ones the basket and checkout will stop working.
These make the site work. They cannot be switched off, and they do not need your consent because the site could not function without them.
| What it does | Where it is stored | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Keeps your session with our order system, so your basket and sign-in survive page loads | sessionId, set by our platform | Until you close your browser, or up to 30 days |
| Remembers the currency the site is displayed in | orbit_currency_code | Up to 1 year |
| Identifies which store you are browsing, so the right catalogue and prices load | orbit_store_id, in local storage | Until you clear your browser data |
| Links the pages of one visit together so the basket works and abuse can be spotted | orbit_session_id and orbit_visitor_id, in local storage | Until you clear your browser data |
| Remembers the products you add to your wishlist | Local storage on your device | Until you clear your browser data |
| Remembers the cookie choice you made, so we do not ask again on every page | Set when you answer the banner | Up to 1 year |
| Processes your card payment securely and helps prevent fraud | Set by Stripe, our payment provider, when you pay | See Stripe's own cookie policy |
The Stripe cookies only appear once you reach payment. Stripe needs them to take your payment safely, so they count as strictly necessary. Stripe explains its cookies at stripe.com/cookies.
Optional. These remember preferences that make the site more convenient, such as recently viewed products. Off unless you turn them on.
Optional. These would tell us which pages are used and where people give up, so we can improve the site. Off unless you turn them on.
Optional. These would be used to measure advertising and to show you relevant ads on other sites. Off unless you turn them on.
As at the date at the top of this page, this website loads no third-party analytics and no advertising or tracking scripts at all. Beyond the payment cookies described above, nothing in the Functional, Analytics or Marketing categories is currently in use, whichever way you answer the banner.
We have listed those categories because we may add tools in future, for example to advertise on Google. If we do, this page will be updated to name the provider and say what its cookies do before anything is set, and the banner will keep them blocked until you agree.
Three services are involved in delivering these pages:
If you follow a link from our site to somewhere else, that site sets its own cookies under its own policy. We have no control over those. Please read the policy of any site you visit.
We will update this page whenever we add or remove a cookie. The "last updated" date at the top tells you when it last changed.
