What are cookies?

This site, like many others, uses small files called cookies to help us customise your experience.

Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser (for example, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store things like user preferences.

Anonymous analytics cookies

Every time someone visits our website, our tracking software, Google Analytics, generates an “anonymous analytics cookie”. These cookies can tell us whether or not you have visited the site before.

We cannot use these cookies to identify individuals. We use them to gather statistics, for example, the number of views on our products.

Other third party cookies

We use Global Payments to accept payments from our customers through our Order Form. During the payment process you will be taken to Global Payments, which may generate its own cookies.

Because of how cookies work, our website cannot access these external cookies, nor can the other organisation access the data in cookies we use on our website.
