Our website uses cookies. This page explains what cookies are, how we use them and how you can manage them.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. The cookie means that the website can ‘remember’ you, and how you’ve used the site, when you come back.

Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently.

Our cookies:

  • Make our website work as you’d expect
  • Keep your preferences intact between visits
  • Improve the speed and security of our site
  • Allow you to share pages with social networks
  • Help us to improve our services
  • Make our marketing more efficient – which in turn helps us to improve what we can do for you

Cookies themselves don’t hold personal information, but they are unique to you. In many cases, we would not be able to link the information we collect by using a cookie back to you as an individual.

We do not use cookies to:

  • Collect sensitive information
  • Pay commissions

Cookies fall into four categories:

  1. Strictly necessary – these help make our website work efficiently, and enhance its look and feel. This type of cookie only lasts for the duration of the time you are visiting the website. When you leave the website they are deleted automatically.
  2. Functionality – these enhance your experience by doing things such as remembering products you’ve added to your basket, or your search settings. These cookies stay on your computer until you choose to clear them.
  3. Performance and analysis – we use these to analyse how our website works (and how we should improve it).
  4. Targeting/advertising – these are used to share some information with third parties who we advertise with, so we know how you’ve reached our website. We can also use cookies to identify the parts of the website that you are interested in. We then use this information to show you adverts and pages we think may also be of interest to you, to tailor how we communicate with you, or to tailor the contents of the communications we send to you. If you prefer, you can opt out of these. Tailoring of content means it includes information reflecting the interest you’ve shown in the content of our web pages, or offers or promotions that we think may interest you, and to improve how we respond to your needs.

The below list details the cookies used in our website.

Cookie List

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

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.

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.

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. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. 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.
