Privacy & Cookie Policy

Information we collect and how it’s used

When you buy a product on this website, we ask for your name, address, phone number and email address. We use this information to process your order and, if necessary, to contact you while we are processing it. All the information we collect is stored in a secure database.

We never ask for or collect credit card information. All card payments are handled by PayPal through their secure payment system.

Children under 18

For their protection, we ask that children do not submit information to us without the consent of a parent or guardian.

Secure shopping

We use PayPal’s payment system, which gives our customers the strongest certificate services available.

Disclosure of information

We never make your email address available to any other company or organisation.

If you give us your postal address, you may receive occasional catalogues by post. If you do not want them, let us know by phone or email.

What is the “Cookie Law”?

The “Cookie Law” comes from the EU Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive of November 2009. It aims to safeguard privacy online and protect web users from unwanted marketing. Cookies can be used to build up a profile of where you have been and how you have behaved online.

Our website uses only essential cookies, which do not collect personal or marketing information. By using our website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies in line with this policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. A cookie helps that website, or another one, recognise your device the next time you visit. In this policy, “cookies” means all files that collect information in this way.

Cookies serve many purposes. For example, they can remember your username and preferences, help analyse how well a website is performing, or recommend content likely to be relevant to you. Some cookies contain personal information; for example, if you click “remember me” when logging in, a cookie stores your username. Most cookies do not identify you, and instead collect general information such as how users arrive at and use a website, or a user’s general location.

What cookies do we use?

Cookies generally perform up to four functions:

• Essential cookies. We use this type. They are essential for the operation of our e-commerce shopping cart.
• Performance cookies. We do not use this type.
• Functionality cookies. We do not use this type.
• Behaviourally targeted advertising cookies. We do not use this type.

When you first visited our website, you will have seen an overlay explaining that by continuing to use the site you consent to our use of cookies. If you want to disable our cookies, follow the instructions under “Blocking cookies” below. If you do, some parts of our website may not work properly.

How we use cookies

Our cookies do not contain any information that identifies you personally. We use cookies only to enable the shopping cart on our website.

Blocking cookies

Most browsers let you refuse cookies. For example:

• Internet Explorer: click Tools, Internet Options, Privacy, and select “Block all cookies” with the slider.
• Firefox: click Tools, Options, and untick “Accept cookies from sites” in the Privacy box.

Blocking all cookies will make many websites harder to use. If you block cookies, you will not be able to use the shopping cart on this website.

Deleting cookies

You can also delete cookies already stored on your computer:

• Internet Explorer: delete the cookie files manually.
• Firefox: make sure cookies are deleted when you “clear private data” (change this under Tools, Options, Settings in the Private Data box), then click “Clear private data” in the Tools menu.

Again, this may make many websites harder to use.
