1.  About this Policy

1.1  We use cookies on the website for a variety of reasons which you can learn about below. The cookies we use do not store personally identifiable information nor can they harm your computer. We want our website to be informative, personal, and as user friendly as possible and cookies help us to achieve that goal.

1.2  By using our website, you agree to the use of cookies and other technologies as set out on here. We appreciate some users may like more individual control over their visit to our website and can adjust their settings accordingly. You can read all about this in the section below "How to control and delete cookies". If you do not agree to such use, please refrain from using the website.

 

2.  What is a cookie?

2.1  A cookie is a small file and holds a certain amount of data, which the website can send to your browser. It may then be stored on your computer's hard drive and can be accessed by our web server. This cookie data can then be retrieved and can allow us to customise our web pages and services accordingly. It's important to clarify that cookies do not collect any personal data stored on your hard drive or computer.

2.2  You can find out all about cookies from this website AllAboutCookies.org.

 

3.  Types of cookies and why we use them

3.1  Through the use of cookies, this website stores information about your account, your orders, and products which interest you. It is used to manage your account and process your orders. Personal data may also be used to send triggered emails related to a specific service you are requesting from us, such as cart abandonment and purchase confirmation emails, and to personalise marketing (where you have not opted out from receiving this), for example, to suggest products related to your previous purchases.

3.2  Our website uses both persistent and session cookies:

3.2.1  Persistent cookies are used to allow the website to recognise users when they return to the site and to remember certain information about their preferences. These cookies are cookies which stay on your computer permanently, until you "manually" delete them.

3.2.2  Session cookies are used in order to allow customers to carry information across pages of the website, without having to re-enter such information. These cookies delete themselves automatically when you leave a website and go to another, or when you shut down your browser.

3.3  We have also developed relationships with carefully selected and monitored partners, to assist in the delivery of a high quality website. Some of these partners may also set cookies during your visit to support customisation of adverts that you may see elsewhere on the Internet, and/or in order to meet contractual obligations with us.

3.4  While these cookies do not store any personal details relating to you or your credit cards, please note we do not have access or control over the cookies and similar technologies that our partners use.

 

4.  How to control and delete cookies

4.1  Should you choose to disable, reject or block our cookies, some parts of our website will not function fully, or in some cases, our website will not be accessible at all. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information, but they do enable us to provide features such as enabling us to store items in your shopping basket between visits. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to prevent this. It is not possible to make a purchase unless you have cookies turned on and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

4.2  For more information on how to control your cookie settings and browser settings, or how to delete cookies on your hard drive, please visit AllAboutCookies.org.

4.3  The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Disabling cookies may result in loss of functionality of the website.

4.4  You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

 

5.  Third party cookies

5.1  Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
