Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

A cookie is a very small piece of information that websites store to save and collect basic information. Many cookies are essential to the operation of our website, for example, to allow you to make a purchase or create an account with us. Cookies on our site are also used to customise certain areas of content just for you and to make your browsing experience more efficient and faster. A cookie stores information about your use of a site on your computer and it can be retrieved later only by you or by the site that issued that cookie. The cookie itself does not contain personal information, although it will enable us to relate your use of our site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided to us. A cookie is safe because it is not “executed” as code, and therefore cannot contain viruses. A cookie also cannot be used to extract any data from your computer.

2. How we use cookies

Cookies on our website are used for the following purpose

  1. Website Functionality Cookies:
    These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
  2. Targeting Cookies:
    These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
  3. Performance Cookies:
    These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
  4. Social Media Cookies:
    These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.
  5. 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.

3. Information collected

The cookies our website uses do not collect any sensitive information such as your name, address, email address, or any other contact details.
