Cookie Policy
Introduction What are Cookies?
We and our third party partners and service providers use cookies and similar technologies to manage and personalise your experience, analyse our traffic, gather information how you interact with our website and emails and personalise advertising. This helps us to provide you with a great experience when you browse our website and communications and also allows us to improve our site. Where we use the term ‘cookies’ in this policy, this also includes other similar technologies. There are times where we permit third parties to use cookies - there is more information on this below and in our privacy policy.
You can choose to reject certain types of cookies using our new preference centre - see the section on Managing cookies. If you don't wish to enable cookies, you may lose some functionality.
Cookies are small data files. It's important to note that cookies can't harm your device. We don't store personally identifiable information such as credit card details in cookies we create, but we do use encrypted information gathered from them to help improve your experience of the site. An example of this would be that they help us to identify and resolve errors or to determine which products may be relevant to show you when you're browsing.
Here's a List of the Main Cookies We Use:
NECESSARY COOKIES
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. These also allow us to measure and analyse how visitors use the site in a specific session to improve its functionality and your shopping experience. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.
ANALYTICAL OR 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. 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.
FUNCTIONAL 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.
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.
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. Find out more about these on Meta’s, Twitter’s and Google’s websites.
