COOKIES

A ‘cookie’ is a small file of text, often encrypted for privacy, that is used to store information between visits to a website. Modern internet browsers allow you to see what cookies are currently stored on your computer, and selectively delete them as you wish. Our Website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our Website and to keep track of your visits. They help us to provide you with the very best experience when you browse our Website and to make improvements to our Website.

We use cookies to keep track of your current shopping session so that you may retrieve your shopping basket at any time, and to personalise the contents of our website as well as to ensure a consistent user experience. We also use cookies to track how visitors interact with our website to monitor our service performance. No personally identifiable information is stored in these cookies.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Google Analytics is a commonly used online tool that allows us to see how well we are doing when helping people shop online. It records information including how you reached our website, the city and county that you’re browsing from, and what browser you are using. We can then see how people used our website to purchase from us. Google Analytics is invaluable in helping us improve our service. We never pass any personally identifiable information to Google.

STORAGE AND SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted via our Website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

We use a trusted third party payment processing service to process your payment to us and we do not store your credit/debit card information. You can elect to save your credit or debit card details once your order on our Website has been processed, to make any future orders easier. However, for your security you will need to enter your card’s 3-digit security code for every subsequent transaction where you elect to use the saved credit/debit card. If you elect to store your credit or debit card details after an order on the Website, your credit/debit card details will be stored with our trusted third party payment processor.

USE OF ANALYTICS AND TARGETED ADVERTISING TOOLS

In order to better serve our Website visitors and customers, we may use Google Analytics features (more information about these features is set out below and at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/).

You can opt-out of the Google Analytics features and customise Google Display Network ads using the Ad Settings.

Google Analytics features include the following:

  • Regarding Google Display Network Impression Reporting and the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration, we and third party vendors, including Google, may use cookies set by the Google Analytics features to analyse and report on ads used on our Website including but not limited to the impressions created by the ads and how these interact with other ad features and other features and services.
  • Regarding Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting, we may use data from Google’s Interest-based advertising and/or third party audience data (such as age, gender and interests) with Google Analytics to target and improve our marketing campaigns, marketing strategies and our Website content.
  • We may use Remarketing with Google Analytics to advertise online. Third party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on sites across the internet. We and third party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to inform, optimise and determine which ads you see on our Website and third party websites, including ads based on your previous visits to our Website.
  • We may also use analytics and targeted advertising tools provided by other third parties, including Facebook, Adroll and Bing.

MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS

You will have the opportunity to subscribe to certain areas of the Website and marketing lists. For instance you may wish to receive our newsletter or other marketing information (by e-mail or direct mail) or enter competitions. In these circumstances we may ask for additional information, such as your age, occupation, style interests, etc. We will also treat this information as “personal information,” as described in this policy. This will help us to target our marketing in a way we feel would be of specific interest to you. We may from time to time send with your ordered products, inserts advertising the goods or services of unrelated third party companies. However, we do not pass on your personal information to these third party companies, except as provided elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
