What are cookies?
Quite unlike the sweet treat we all love, web cookies are important pieces of information we use to tailor our website exactly to your needs. Cookies are harmless, tiny text files that are stored on your computer when you visit a website. We use them to keep track of what you have in your basket and to remember you when you visit us again.
How do they affect me?
Cookies don’t store any sensitive or personal information such as your name, address or payment details – we use the coded information gathered from them to help us perform tasks. These tasks include showing you products you may like, allowing you to connect with social media sites, or alerting you to an error. Essentially, cookies mean that once you’re signed in to our website we’re able to remember a little about your shopping preferences, while keeping your personal details protected.
