What are cookies?
A cookie is a computer file consisting of letters and numbers which is installed on your device when you visit a website and which allow our website to recognise a user and retain that user’s preferences when they return. Cookies do not collect data, instead they serve to act as unique identifiers, or information caches, which can be used to identify a user’s preferences, settings or previous activity and which in turn enable website operators to provide an optimised, improved and more individualised browsing experience.

Some internet browsers will temporarily store website data using a process known as ‘caching’. The creation of a website cache may improve loading speed and responsiveness and, in some cases, provide offline functionality. Most internet browsers support HTML 5 which permits website caching. Website caching typically requires greater storage capacity than cookies which, in turn, may provide greater improvements in speed and functionality.

How do you use cookies?
Cookies distinguish you from other users of our website. We and our partners use cookies to store your regional shop preference, for website analytics and to allow you to make purchases and related payments. This allows us to optimise your individual browsing experience and improve our service to you.

Our partners including Wix, Paypal and Google Analytics will also drop cookies on your device when you browse our site and make purchases. Details of the cookies they use, their purposes and further details are here:
