LOG FILES AND COOKIES

Websites use a standard technology called Cookies and Web server logs (“Log Files”) to collect information about how the Website is used. Information gathered through Cookies, and Log Files may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at the Website, and the websites visited just before and just after the Website. The Company’s advertisers and ad serving companies may also use small pieces of code to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them. 

A “Cookie” is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When a user visits a website, that website’s computer asks the user’s computer for permission to store files in a part of the user’s hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own Cookie to a user’s browser if the browser’s preferences allow it, but only to access the Cookies it has already sent to the user, not the Cookies sent to the user by other websites. The Company has no control over the use of Cookies on websites operated by other companies. 

We may use Cookies for a variety of reasons, including to:

  • Recognize you whenever you visit the Website (this speeds up your access to the Website as you do not have to log in each time);
  • Support security and authentication features on our Website;
  • Obtain information about your preferences and use of our Website;
  • Carry out research and statistical analysis to help improve our content, products, and services, and to help us better understand our users’ requirements; 
  • Improve the speed and performance of our Website;
  • Make your online experience more enjoyable and efficient; and
  • Keep track of the items stored in your shopping basket and take you through the checkout process.

Types of Cookies: The cookies we place on your device fall into one of the following two categories:

  • Session cookies: these allow our Website to link your actions during a particular browser session. These expire each time you close your browser and do not remain on your device afterwards.
  • Persistent cookies: these are stored on your device in between browser sessions. These allow your preferences or actions across our Website to be remembered. These will remain on your device until they expire, or you delete them from your cache.

The cookies that we place on your device may also be: 

  • Strictly necessary cookies: these cookies are essential for you to be able to navigate our Website and use its features. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for could not be provided.
  • Performance cookies: these cookies collect information about how you use our Website, for example, which pages you go to most often. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information about you. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous, and is only used to improve how our Website works.
  • Functionality cookies: these cookies allow our Website to remember the choices you make (such as your user name, language, last action and search preferences) and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information collected by these cookies is anonymous and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
  • Marketing cookies: also known as advertising cookies, these cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement on our Website and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. This is sometimes referred to as online behavioral advertising. In some cases, our partners may use cookies to provide us with information about your interactions with their services. These cookies remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Those third-party cookies would be subject to the third party service’s policies.

You can opt-out of online behavioral advertising cookies and similar technologies by using the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Choice Tool available here, or if located in the E.U. you can make your choices here. Please note you may continue to receive generic ads.

Controlling Cookies: Your browser may give you the ability to control some types of cookies. If you do not want to accept the kinds of cookies you can control, you can change your browser settings so that certain types of cookies are not accepted. 

If you turn off any cookies, please be aware that you may lose some of the functionality of this Website. For more information about cookies and how to disable them please check one or more of the following resources:

DATA RETENTION

The Company will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary to perform the relevant processing activity for that information, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us. This is a case by case determination that depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected, why it is processed, and any relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, we may retain your data so that we may process and deliver your orders. We may also be legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations. We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis.

  • Consent: we may ask your consent to process your personal information in some situations.
  • Legal compliance: sometimes the law says we need to collect and use your data. 
  • Legitimate interests: This is a term in data protection law that allows us to process your personal information if we have a fair reason to use your data, and only if we do so in ways which do not hurt your interests and rights. We sometimes require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in running our business, including for delivering our products or services, fraud prevention, quality assurance, and marketing purposes, as long as our use of your data does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests. This allows us to improve and develop the quality of the online experience we offer all our users.
