Use of your information and your preferences

We will use your information to provide and personalise our service. We will use your contact details to communicate with you.

If you access other sites using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect information from you which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy.

Use of Cookies

• We may use a cookie to maintain information about your session on our server. This allows us to maintain your shopping basket. This cookie is removed automatically when either you close your web browser, or a few minutes after you last access a page on this site;
• We may use a cookie to allow the site to recognise you when you return to our pages or if you login whilst you are on the site, to remember you until you close your web browser. The cookie only remains on your computer if you elect to store it in the user information page. The cookie we put on your computer only contains a reference so that we can access your personal information. No personal information is contained within the cookie;
• We may use a cookie to provide tracking of your activity on the website - see website tracking below. This cookie is not linked to any personal information about you and is used to provide generic statistical information about patterns of activity on our website.

Privacy of personal data

We aim to protect the security of your personal data at all times. We aim to accomplish this by using a combination of methods including, but not limited to:

• Your personal information will only be displayed on the screen if you are within a session for which you have provided your password.
• Whenever your personal information is exchanged between your web browser and our web server we use highly effective methods of encryption - this is currently 1024 bit SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption. This makes it extremely difficult for someone to intercept and read the information being passed between your web browser and our web server.
