Cookies
Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognise your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We use cookies to: 

  • Help remember and process the items in the shopping cart.
  •  Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.
  •  – Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. As all browsers are different, go to your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.

Below is detailed information about what cookies we use on our website and what they are used for.

Woocommerce
WooCommerce is the eCommerce platform this website uses.

To keep track of basket / cart data, WooCommerce makes use of 3 cookies:

  • woocommerce_cart_hash
  • woocommerce_items_in_cart
  • wp_woocommerce_session_

The first two cookies contain information about the cart as a whole and helps WooCommerce know when the cart data changes. The final cookie (wp_woocommerce_session_) contains a unique code for each customer so that it knows where to find the cart data in the database for each customer. No PII is stored within these.

AddThis:
Add this is a social sharing widget used to enable visitors to share content with a range of social network platforms.

_atuvs

_atuvc

The __atuvc cookie is created and read by the AddThis social sharing site JavaScript on the client side in order to make sure the user sees the updated count if they share a page and return to it before our share count cache is updated. No data from that cookie is sent back to AddThis and removing it when disabling cookies would cause unexpected behaviour for users.

For more information on AddThis you can visit their website here

Google Analytics:

The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the site from and the pages they visited.

Newsletter Tracking
Our newsletter includes so-called web bugs that allow us to recognise if and when an email has been opened and which links in the email have been clicked by its recipient.

This data is stored by us so that we can best align our newsletter to the wishes and interests of our subscribers. Accordingly, the data thus collected is used to send personalised newsletters to each recipient.

You will be asked to consent to the use of your PII as follows:

“I agree that my data and my user responses will be stored electronically by newsletter tracking so that I can receive a personalised newsletter. The withdrawal of the consent to receive the newsletter constitutes a withdrawal of the consent for the tracking described above.”

By withdrawing the consent to receive the newsletter, the consent to the aforementioned tracking is withdrawn.

Our eCommerce platform WooCommerce uses cookies to help remember and process items in your shopping basket. If you turn cookies off it will turn off this function and the site will not work correctly.
