Cookie policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are temporarily stored on your computer. They enable us to track your current shopping experience, save the contents of your shopping bag and gather valuable statistical information on our website usage which allows us to constantly improve our service to you. Cookies do not typically identify you as an individual, just the device you are using.
Why do we use them?
Cookies are very versatile in what they do, not only do they enable efficient navigation across the website, they remember things such as individual preferences, usernames and passwords. For us, they give us a view of how well the website is doing, so that we can know what can be improved or changed to ensure a better user experience.
What type of information do we collect using cookies?
The cookies we use come in three different forms:
- Necessary: There are some cookies that are strictly necessary to the functionality of our website. These enable us to provide a website that is responsive and secure. Without these cookies the Website would not be able to do what you want it to do and whilst we want you to understand them, we are not obliged to ask for your permission to use them, as they are essential in order for you to receive the service you require from our website.
- Performance related: These cookies collect anonymous information about the pages you visit on our site. We use these cookies to collect information about how visitors use the Website. For example, the pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages on those pages. These performance cookies don't collect information that identifies you as an individual – all information they collect is aggregated and anonymous. The information gathered is only used to improve how the Website works.
- Functionality: These cookies are used to make visiting our site as simple and quick for you as possible. They collate information on items such as your password, your location, currency and whatever changes you may make to the areas of the site that you can customise. This ensures a more personal experience and means you do not have to re-enter certain information every time you visit the site. Should you wish to manage your cookies or require more information on their usage, you can find expanded information and links here. Alternatively, please contact us should you wish to see the full list of cookies we use on our Website.
Can you refuse/block our cookies?
You can disable and/or delete all types of cookies by using your browser settings. Cookies are generally easy to disable and/or delete but how you do so varies from browser to browser. The "help" function within your browser should tell you how to do it. Please note that should you disable or delete any cookies related to the Website, you may not be able to use the Website correctly.
