What are Cookies ?

Cookies are small data files which are placed on your computer or hand held device when you visit certain pages on websites. Cookies can’t harm your computer. Some are essential, for example when putting items in your basket to place orders on our website while some are not essential but are used to enhance the user experience of the website. They allow us to:

obtain statistical data regarding audience size and usage pattern,
store information about your preferences,
allow us to customise the website to your interests and deliver a high quality user experience,
improve user experience and to allow the website to recognise you when you return.

We do not use cookies to collect or record information on users’ name, address or other contact details. This is generally considered standard practice for most, if not all websites.

The cookies when you access this website are set by us, our suppliers, partners and other third parties to help deliver a high quality website and on-line shopping experience, in other words to show you different products and services based on what you appear to be interested in. If you’d like to learn more about cookies in general then visit www.aboutcookies.org or alternatively if you’d like to opt out, please go to the Network Advertising Initiative website.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Cookies and Other Similar Technologies used

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We or our selected third parties may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels”, “clear gifs”, “pixel tags” and “single pixel gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Our Cookies and other tracking technologies (above) also allow us to hold selections in a shopping cart when a user leaves the Web Site without checking out, track an order, track an order number/value or track purchases through the website.
