Privacy Policy

Cookies & Beacons

A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on Your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who You are.
 
A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.
 
Two types of cookies are used on our website:
 
Session Cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of Your browser until You leave the site. They allow You to carry information across pages of Our site and avoid having to re-enter information. They also allow You to maintain a shopping basket and within registration to allow You to access stored information.
 
Persistent Cookies remain in the cookie file of Your browser for longer depending on how long the lifetime of the specific cookie is. They help Us recognise You as a unique visitor by using a unique random number when You return to Our website. They also allow Us to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow Us to understand how users use Our site and to help Us improve the structure of Our website.
 
We cannot identify You personally in this way.
 
Cookies help Our website arrange content to match Your preferred interests more quickly. The vast majority of websites use cookies.
 
Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify You.
 

Web Beacons

Some of Our Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons or clear GIF’s. These allow Us to count users who have visited these pages. Web beacons collect only limited information which include a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides.
 
Disabling/Enabling Cookies
 
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in Your browser. However, You may not be able to use all the interactive features of Our site if cookies are disabled.

Privacy Pledge

We take Your privacy very seriously and are committed to providing users with an Internet experience that respects Your privacy.
 
When You make a purchase we need to collect certain information to process Your transaction and fulfil Your order. We do not sell, rent or disseminate this information to any third party for marketing or any other purposes.
 
You can be confident We will not disclose Your details to anybody unless required by law to do so or unless You explicitly give Us authority to do so.
 
Our web site links to other sites. Please be aware that We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites.

Spam Attack

The EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications demands that member states do more to combat spam. The UK law tries to create a system that lets legitimate businesses send direct e-mail to users but attempts to stop the scammers and spammers.
 
We only send e-mails to addresses that have been supplied directly to Us by customers and We always remove addresses from Our address book when requested to do so by those customers.
 
We never spam.

Data Security

We endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect Your personal information. All the data collected by Us is stored on a secure server. The secure server software encrypts all information You input before it is sent to Us.
Data Protection Act 1998
We are not required to register under the Act (see “Core Business” exemption), however We are required to follow eight guiding principles laid down by the Act. These are:
 
  • Fairly and lawfully processed;
  • Processed for limited purposes;
  • Adequate, relevant and not excessive;
  • Accurate and up-to-date;
  • Not kept for longer than is necessary;
  • Processed in line with the data subject’s rights;
  • Secure; and
  • Not transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), unless that country ensures the protection of the rights of the individual to whom the data relate.
