'Cookies'

We use a feature of your Internet Web Browser called a 'Cookie' on our website. A Cookie is a very small text file that your Web Browser places on your computer's hard disc, which allows us to help you get the best out of your visit to the website. A Cookie can be thought of as an identification card which tells a website when you have returned.

Our Cookies are only used to store basic information about your order. They do not store password or credit card information.

Our website uses Cookies to make accessing the website more convenient as you won't need to remember your user name. Cookies in conjunction with registration details will allow us to welcome you by name and over time personalise the website content to reflect your preferences. For security reasons you will still need to enter your password and where more than one user uses the same machine it will not be possible to offer this service. The Cookie relating to our website will remain on your hard disk indefinitely.

It is possible to view our website without providing any personal details. However, without registering your details you will need to re-enter your details each time you order. We will also not be able to inform you about the special offers available on the website.

You can set your Browser to accept or reject all (or certain) Cookies. You can also set your Browser to alert you each time a Cookie is presented to your computer. You can delete Cookies that have been stored on your computer.

However, if you prevent us from placing Cookies on your computer during your visit, or subsequently delete the Cookie from your computer, then it will not be possible to use the website effectively because the system relies on the Cookie to keep track of the current order and your session ID.

Please note that we do not use Cookies to retrieve personal information about you from your computer, unless the information has been knowingly and willingly been provided by you.
