What happens if I disable cookies?
If you disable some or all of our cookies, our website may not function properly. If you disable 3rd party cookies, you will still be able to make purchases on thecuriouscaterpillar.co.uk, however if you disable all cookies, you will not be able to complete a transaction.
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) feature. When DNT is enabled, it will send a request to a website so that your browsing behaviour is not tracked. There is currently no consensus on how companies should interpret DNT, and as a result thecuriouscaterpillar.co.uk does not currently respond to these requests.
