What are cookies?
In common with the majority of comparable internet trading companies we use cookies on our website.
We, our Analytic Suppliers and Advertising Providers collect information about your use of our website through cookies. Cookies are information files stored on your computer, tablet or smartphone that help websites remember who you are and information about your visit. Cookies can help to display the information on a website in a way that matches your interests. Most major websites use cookies.
We mean by Analytic Suppliers companies such as Google Analytics and Virtual Website Optimiser
We mean by Advertising Providers companies such as Google, Facebook and Twitter. What cookies are used on this Website?
Cookies we use
The cookies we use on this website are broadly grouped into the following three categories:
Essential – Some of the cookies on our website are essential for us to be able to provide you with the service you have requested. An example of this would be a cookie used to enable you to log into your account on the website or which enhances communication between your browser and the website. The “preference cookie” described in the section “How can I reject or opt out of receiving cookies?” is also an essential cookie. You may not be able to use our website without these cookies.
We aim to use “essential” cookies only when necessary to enhance the functionality of our website. We do not store any personal information as a result of these cookies.
Third Party Analytics Suppliers – We use analytics cookies to help us understand how users engage with our website. An example of such a cookie is one that allows us to count the number of different people coming to our website or using a particular feature, rather than the total number of times the site or feature is used. Without this cookie, if you visited the website once each week for three weeks we would count you as three separate users. We would find it difficult to analyse how well our website was performing and improve it without these cookies. We do not store any personal information as a result of these cookies.
Third Party Advertising Providers – In order to try and ensure that the adverts you see are more relevant to you Advertising Providers use cookies to collect information about the types of things that interest you. These advertisements are only shown if you are a subscriber to the services of Advertising Providers. We do not collect personal details using these cookies.
