What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit certain websites. Cookies provide a way for the websites to recognise users and keep track of the users’ preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preference as well as functional items such as shopping basket lists and wish lists) over a period of time, so users don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever they come back to the websites. cookies perform essential functions to improve a user’s browsing experience.

You do not need to have cookies turned on to visit our website. However, you will need to have cookies turned on if you wish to shop with us. A cookie does not provide us with any personal information.

Who sets cookies?

Cookies may be set by our website(s) or by another site prior to or during your visit to our website(s). These are known as ‘first party’ and ‘third party’ cookies:

  • First party cookies belong to the website domain that appears in the browser address bar.
  • Third-party cookies belong to website domains different from the one shown in the address bar. Some web pages can feature content from third-party domains (such as banner ads) and these create third-party cookies. We do not place any such content on our website.

How long do cookies last?

Cookies can be placed either for an individual “session” or on a “persistent” basis:

  • Session cookies are temporary and will expire at the end of a browser session; that is, when you leave a website. Session cookies allow a website to recognize you and carry information as you navigate between pages during a single browser session and allow you to use the website efficiently.
  • Persistent cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser even after you leave a website and after the browser is closed. These cookies remain valid until their set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). These cookies allow a website to collect and analyze (on an anonymous basis) traffic and use of the website, monitor the system and improve operating performance. For example, they enable a website to recognize you on your return, remember your preferences and provide tailored services to you.

Third Party Sites

Our website(s) may contain links to third party sites (including social media bookmarking buttons which enable you to share certain content on our website(s)). Please review the Cookie and Privacy policies of these sites to understand how they may use cookies and your information.

Opting-out of Third Party Advertising

You have the ability to opt out of many third-party advertisers. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by NAI members.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our website(s) or other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be effective. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at www.networkadvertising.org.
