Cookie Policy
This website uses cookies. No, not those cookies (although we do have a few packs on the go in the Beano kitchen).
"Cookies" are little pieces of data we send when you visit our store. Cookies help us get to know you better and personalize your experience. Plus they help protect you and other shoppers from fraud.. They are harmless and anonymous and merely remember some of the things you’ve already done on the site.
