Use of cookies
One of the ways we collect information from you is by the use of ‘cookies’, which is a common practice of most websites to ensure they work properly. Cookies provide information to the website owners and help them to learn how customers use their website. This makes it easier to improve a website’s usability and function to provide the greatest possible user experience.
Cookies are small text files that the websites you visit will place onto your computer’s hard drive. They save and collect information about how you interacted with a website, such as how you accessed it, which pages you visited, and how you navigated the site. By doing this, you will be able to enjoy tailored options the next time you go to the same website, which will be based on the information collected about your previous visit.
Some cookies will collect information about how users interact with the site, which is done by collecting it in an anonymous form.
Cookies are also used whenever a login process is required to purchase a product or service from us. These cookies store personal registration information, which means, if you wish, you do not need to fill in all sections of the login process the next time you order from us.
The rules surrounding the use of cookies have changed recently. If you would rather that we do not use cookies, they can be disabled on your computer by changing the settings in your browser’s options menu. You can set your browser to reject or block cookies or set it so that it informs you when a website is attempting to put a cookie on your computer. Cookies that have already been installed into your computer can be deleted, although if you choose to do this, parts of the website may no longer work. Some cookies are vital for certain parts of a website to function. This may also prohibit you from using certain products and services on other websites.
