To afford you increase security when completing an order, all payments and credit card details are processed independently and securely, using high level SSL encryption technology by Worldpay or by Paypal, depending on the method of payment you select at checkout. We do not see any details relating to your credit card. The transmission of any information by email is not secure, and whilst we take all steps to ensure that it is held securely once received, any data contained in emails is sent at your own risk. We strongly advise against putting any sensitive or financial information in emails.

COOKIE POLICY
Several of our web pages link to other sites that we operate. The same cookie policy is shown and applies on all of our sites.
First of all – what are cookies ?
Cookies are small text files that are placed by the web site you are visiting on to your PC. Some of these ( session cookies) are essential so that things like shopping carts can function e.g. by remembering what you have put in your shopping cart as you navigate around our site.
What cookies are used on this site, and other sites belonging to our company
Cookies do not transmit viruses or collect information off your hard drive, or collect your email addresses. In general our site could contain up to three different types of cookie – i) essential, ii) analytic and iii) third party.
i) The essential cookies used on this web site are necessary for the website to operate. For example, they enable us know what items you have placed in the shopping basket. If cookies are not allowed to operate on our site, then you will probably not experience full functionality of the web site, and the shopping cart will probably not operate as required, meaning that you will be unable to make online purchases. The shopping cart program and/or payment providers can set cookies during your shopping experience as you fill the shopping cart and move to the check out screen – essential for successful online purchasing. This is common practise throughout almost all on line shopping sites. These cookies do not identify individual visitor details. This type of cookie is deleted when you close the browser.
ii) We may use cookies to see which of our pages receive the most visits and which pages are most often found in search engines. This is quite normal practice for most websites. All information from the cookies of all the visitors is added together to produce an overall view of activity on our web pages. No data that could personally identify you is collected.in this process.
iii) Our websites may also contain links to other third party websites. These can include affiliate links to sites that sell items that we feel are complementary to those that are available on our own sites. These links contain a simple tracking code, that can enable the new site identify which company has recommended their site. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policy of these third party sites and therefore we urge all visitors who take advantage of the links that we place on our sites, to check the privacy statements of the new webpage and to ascertain what cookie placement or tracking statistics might be active on the site.
