What we use cookies for
This site uses cookies to establish your identity whilst browsing the site, which we need for our e-commerce system to function correctly. It means you can explore the site and when you wish to purchase a product, you can add it to a temporary storage area (your cart) where it will stay until you return to it later to make your purchase on our secure ordering pages. The cookies used on this site don’t track anything else about you. We are completely committed to protecting your privacy and we will only use the information that we collect about you lawfully (in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998).
We will not email you in the future unless you have given us your consent, and we will give you the chance to refuse any marketing email from us or from another trader in the future. The type of information we will collect about you includes:
- Name
- Address
- Telephone number
- E-mail address
- Credit/debit card details
We will never collect sensitive information about you without your consent. The information we hold will be accurate and up to date. You can e-mail us to check the information that we hold about you and if you find any inaccuracies we will delete or correct them promptly. The personal information that we hold will be held securely in accordance with our internal security policy. If we intend to transfer your information outside the EEA (European Economic Area) – and this is very unlikely indeed – we will always obtain your consent first. If you have any questions/comments about privacy, cancellations or any of the issues raised here, you should email us. If you have any questions about the security of our online purchasing system please e-mail us.
