06 Cookies and Website Tracking

Our website may use cookies. These small files help a website remember information about your visit.

Depending on our website settings, cookies may help us keep products in your cart, make checkout work, remember preferences, understand website performance or support optional analytics and marketing tools.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect shopping-cart or checkout functionality. Where required by law, appropriate permission will be sought before using non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies.

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Some order, tax and accounting records may need to be retained to comply with the law or deal with a dispute. When information is no longer needed and there is no lawful reason to keep it, we will take appropriate steps to delete, destroy or de-identify it.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure.

No website or electronic system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If a security incident involving personal information occurs, we will respond in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
