What is a cookie?

When you enter some sites your computer will be issued with a cookie. Cookies are text files that identify your computer to servers. Cookies in themselves do not identify the individual user, just the computer used.

Many sites do this whenever a user visits their site in order to track traffic flows, recording those areas of the site that have been visited by the computer in question, and for how long. Our site does not create cookies for this purpose.

Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. Selecting not to receive means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user. These are detailed below for your information.

If you haven't set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse our site anonymously until such time as you register or select to order a product or service.

Why do we use cookies?

1. Log in / Registration: Where we provide log in mechanisms for site users a cookie is created at login, for the duration of the session. Each cookie contains a unique reference number only (no personal information) which is used to confirm you are authorised to adjust / update your details.

2. Purchases: During the placing of any order / purchase on our site a cookie is generated with a unique reference number. This number is associated to the order data, which is held exclusively on our or our agent’s servers. The cookie contains no personal data and is only created for the duration of the session.

See the section below for details on setting your specific browser to stop the creation of these cookies.
