HOW THIS WEBSITE UTILISES COOKIES

Cookies are tiny text files sent to your computer by websites. A cookie can be considered of as a user’s identification card on the Internet. They inform the website when the user returns. This enables the website to display information pertinent to the user, such as their identity, previous orders, etc.

Cookies facilitate and expedite the interaction between users and websites. Without cookies, it would be extremely challenging for a website to enable a visitor to fill a shopping basket or to remember the user’s preferences or registration information for a subsequent visit. This website employs cookies to enable customers to navigate from one section of the website to another and to add items to their purchasing basket without having to repeatedly log in.

Cookies are not computer programmes, so they cannot access other data on your hard drive. They cannot be used to spread viruses or obtain an individual’s email address, etc. They only contain and transmit to the website the information that the users have voluntarily disclosed. It is possible to disable cookies via your browser’s cookie preferences; however, if you do so, you will be unable to shop on this website, as its functionality depends on cookies. Please note that cookies are computer-specific; therefore, if you access a website from a different computer, the cookie preferences on that computer will apply.

Strictly necessary cookies

Cookies are used to analyse visitor information, such as usage and visitor numbers, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to learn what you prefer.

Functionality cookies

They enable us to add additional functionality to the website and store some configuration information. Although they are not required for the site to function, they enable additional features that should enhance your purchasing experience.

Targeting cookies

Additionally, we use cookies to monitor visitors’ product interest. We may use this information to determine what our customers find most appealing, allowing us to create the most relevant offers conceivable. Additionally, browsing activity is used to generate relevant banner advertisements with product suggestions that we believe are most relevant to the items you viewed on our website. These banners are then distributed on other websites you may visit, typically news sites, video sites, and blogs. This process is known as behavioural advertising, and although the ads are tailored to each visitor individually, all cookie data is anonymized and temporarily preserved. Additionally, all banners of this variety include a “i” icon that provides additional information from each advertising network and opt-out instructions. Additionally, we use the browsing data to generate personalised product recommendations for our website, marketing emails, and printed catalogue.
