What are cookies and why do we use them?

We use cookies to enhance your experience using our website, as almost all websites do today. Cookies are small text files that store information on your computer for a variety of functions.

 

We use cookies to:

  • Keep the website running as you’d expect (for example keeping you logged in as you browse different webpages)

  • Remember which pages or items you like the best, so we can show you personalised content.

  • Let you share things you like on your social networks.

  • Store some of your details, such as your log in details (but only if you want us to!)

 

Cookies also help us evaluate our website. Knowing visitor levels, what device our visitors are using, which products people like the best and buy the most, social networks shares and how people have found us (search engines and links for example) helps us to make the website better for us and for you!

 

We will never use cookies to:

  • Store your personal information
