Cookies are essential to the effective operation of our website and to enable you to shop with us online. Cookies are also used to tailor the products and services offered and advertised to our customers, both on this website and elsewhere. The information collected by cookies themselves cannot be used to identify you personally, except in limited circumstances if it is combined with other information as described below in relation to performance cookies.
Cookies do lots of different things, like letting you navigate between pages effectively, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience of a website. If our website did not use cookies, you would appear to be a new visitor every time you moved to a different web-page; for example, after entering your log in details and moving to another page the website wouldn’t recognise you and would ask you to log in again.
Some other examples of what cookies can do include:
- saving the contents of your shopping basket as you proceed through the checkout process;
- remembering your account log in details so you can see information relating to your orders and manage your account;
- recording the areas of our website that you have visited and for how long, as well as which products you viewed and purchased.

These cookies do not collect information that itself identifies a visitor, although they may collect the IP address of the device used to access the site and some of the information collected may be used in conjunction with other data you have provided on registration if it appears you may have had problems with the site or an order. All information collected is used to help us understand how our visitors use our website, what interests our users, and to measure how effective our pages are so that we can improve how we present our content to you.
