As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies, which are small files downloaded to your computer, to improve your experience. This page explains what information they collect, how we use it and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also explain how you can prevent these cookies from being stored; however, this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality.

We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. It is recommended that you leave all cookies enabled if you are unsure whether you need them, as they may be used to provide a service that you use.

If you create an account with us, we will use cookies for managing the sign-up process and general administration. These cookies will usually be deleted when you log out; however, in some cases, they may remain afterwards to remember your site preferences.

Login-related cookies

We use cookies when you are logged in so that we can remember this action. This prevents you from having to log in every time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out to ensure that you can only access restricted features and areas when logged in.

Email newsletter-related cookies

This site offers newsletter or email subscription services, and cookies may be used to remember whether you are already registered and whether to show certain notifications valid only for subscribed/unsubscribed users.

Order processing-related cookies

This site offers e-commerce or payment facilities, and some cookies are essential to ensure that your order is remembered between pages so that we can process it properly.

Survey-related cookies

From time to time, we offer surveys and questionnaires to provide interesting insights, useful tools or to better understand our user base. These surveys may use cookies to remember who has already participated or to provide accurate results after page changes.

Form-related cookies

When you submit data through a form, such as those found on contact pages or comment forms, cookies may be set to remember your details for future correspondence.

Third-party cookies

In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third-party cookies you may encounter through this site.

This site uses Google Analytics, which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web, to help us understand how you use the site and how we can improve your experience.

Third-party analytics are used to track and measure usage of this site so that we can continue to produce engaging content. These cookies may track things such as the time you spend on the site or the pages you visit, which helps us understand how we can improve the site for you.

From time to time, we test new features and make subtle changes to the way the site is presented. When we are still testing new features, these cookies may be used to ensure that you receive a consistent experience while on the site, while we understand which optimisations our users appreciate most.

As we sell products, it is important for us to understand statistics about how many visitors to our site actually make a purchase, and therefore this is the type of data these cookies will track. This is important to you as it means we can make accurate business forecasts that allow us to analyse our advertising and product costs to ensure the best possible price.
