1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
1.1 Like many companies, we use "cookies" on this website. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that may be placed on your browser when you visit certain websites. We use cookies to improve your experience of our website. We only use cookies to provide the specific services you request, to remember your preferences and to improve and update our website. For example, we use cookies to remember your preferences, preserve the contents of your virtual shopping bag between visits and to allow you to navigate more efficiently between our pages. We also use cookies to measure activity on the website and determine which areas and features of the website are the most popular ones.
1.2 The cookies we use do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
1.3 Websites use various types of cookies to fulfil many functions. Depending on the function they need to achieve, cookies may be temporary; staying on your device only for the duration of your browsing session (“session cookies”) or permanently placed on your device memory (“persistent cookies”) to remember your preferences. Cookies may be placed by the operators of the website you are visiting or by other operators setting cookies through that website (“third party cookies”).
2. WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE ON THIS WEBSITE?

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Performance Cookies
2.3 These cookies collect general information about how our website is used in order to generate usage reports that allow us to improve the user experience and the quality of our site and service. Such analysis is conducted by other operators, so these are considered as third party cookies. In particular, we use Google Analytics to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and determine how visitors use this website. They collect aggregated user location and IP address information. These cookies will often be placed permanently on your browsers memory, unless you choose to delete them.
Functionality Cookies
2.4 These cookies allow us to offer you a customised browsing experience. They capture information such as the pages you have browsed or products you have viewed so that we can provide you with a great shopping experience. Functionality cookies allow websites to remember visitor choices and preferences. This means that a website can automatically set user selections like location, text size and user names and provide functions that a visitor requests such as posting comments. The information gathered by functionality cookies may be anonymised and will not be linked to information about how visitors use other websites.
Advertising Cookies and Third-party Advertising Cookies
2.5 You may see certain ads on other websites because we participate in advertising networks. Ad networks allow us to target our messaging to users through demographic, interest-based and contextual means. These networks track your online activities over time and analyse traffic to our site by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of cookies, web server logs and web beacons. The networks use this information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information our ad networks may collect includes information about your visits to websites that participate in the relevant advertising networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the websites. This data collection takes place both on our site and on third-party websites that participate in the ad networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and provides social media features.
