Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer, serving as an Internet user’s identification card. They inform the website when the user returns, enabling the site to display information relevant to that user, such as their name or past orders.

Cookies facilitate faster and easier interactions between users and websites. Without cookies, it would be challenging for a website to enable a visitor to fill a shopping basket or remember the user’s preferences or registration details for future visits. This website uses cookies to allow customers to navigate from one part of the website to another and add items to the shopping basket without repeatedly logging in.

Cookies are not computer programs and cannot read other information stored on your hard drive. They cannot disseminate viruses or access a user’s email address. Cookies only contain and transfer to the website the information that users have disclosed to that website. While it is possible to opt out of cookies via your browser’s settings, doing so will prevent you from shopping on this website as its functions rely on cookies. Please note that cookies are specific to each computer, so if you log on from a different computer, the cookie settings on that computer will apply.

When you visit our sites, cookies are served either directly by us or by our business partners. Here is an overview of the different types of cookies we use:
