COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: 06 January 2026

A Note from Sir Cucumber Dog

While Sir Cucumber Dog prefers his treats crunchy, meat-flavoured, and served on a silver platter by a butler, this website uses a different kind of cookie.

These digital cookies help our shop run smoothly, ensure your rude mugs stay in your basket, and help us understand how you use our site. We don't use them to spy on you—mostly because Sir Cucumber Dog is too busy napping to care what you do in your spare time.

Below is the boring (but legally important) stuff about what these cookies are and how we use them.
