Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device’s browser to store information for later use. They are widely used to make websites function more effectively, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (referred to as “first-party cookies”) or by third-party services (so-called “third-party cookies”). These cookies have different purposes and benefits, enhancing your experience on our site.
Types of Cookies We Use
Our website uses several types of cookies for various reasons:
-
Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate around the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services like shopping baskets cannot function.
-
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve the functioning of the website.
-
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They can also be used to remember changes you’ve made to the layout so that you don’t have to repeat them when returning to the site.
-
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, or to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. They remember that you have visited a website and help ensure that you won’t see the same ad repeatedly.

We may also use third-party cookies, which are set by a different domain from the website you are visiting. For example, we may use Google Analytics to collect and analyze information about how our site is used. These third-party cookies can be performance or targeting/advertising cookies.
