Cookies are small files on your computer which contain items of data. For example, when you visit this website and put items in your shopping cart, details like the item number, price, and quantity will probably be stored in a cookie and used when you go to the check out.

This site uses essential non-persistent cookies for holding items in your shopping cart while you shop. Our non-persistent cookies expire after three hours and will be automatically removed. These cookies are known as "essential cookies" as without them you would not be able to shop online.

Cookies may also be used to help us deliver a high quality website experience to you. For example we may use cookies to help us understand how customers travel around our website and which pages are popular. These cookies are anonymous and contain no personally identifiable data.

Please note that by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you will not be able to access certain areas or features of our site or add items to your shopping basket.

When you place an order we use an order form for customers to request information, products, and/or services; and we collect personal information (eg. your billing/delivery address), and financial information (eg how you would like to pay for your purchase).

Contact information from the order form is used to ship purchases. Your contact information is also used to get in touch with you should we need to ask you a question about your order or to fulfil your request.

Financial information is used solely for billing for products and services. We never see your credit/debit card details.

We will not disclose any information to any other other parties other than delivery services except as required for legal purposes. (e.g. your address is given to The Post Office/Royal Mail so that they may know where to deliver your order.)

We believe that newsletters are best sent to people who actually wish to receive them.

We will not automatically add your email address to our mailing lists without your prior consent.

We do not send random marketing emails to personal email addresses (spam).

We will not pass your email address (or any other personal or financial information) to any other businesses.

This site contains links to other sites (eg. PayPal, and HSBC/Global Payments). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

Where appropriate we use industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology.

We fully agree to the principles set out in the Data Protection Act 1998 and fully comply with the provisions of the act.

These are the eight Data Protection Principles of the 1998 Act. In summary the act requires that your information is:
1, fairly and lawfully processed
2, processed for limited purposes
3, adequate, relevant and not excessive
4, accurate
5, not kept longer than necessary
6, processed in accordance with the your rights
7, secure
8, not transferred to countries without adequate protection.

We believe they make for good business practice.
