of the UK Data Protection Act 1998 and the Privacy and Electronic
Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 subsequently incorporating the
EU Cookie Regulations of May 2011. We conform with the EU General Data
Protection Regulation from 25 May 2018.
We collect information

shared with other parties that are involved in the fulfilment of your order.

Your name

Other information necessary
for processing your order (we will advise you)
This data will be held in accordance with our internal security policy. If we propose to send your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) we will seek your consent first.
Payment details :-
Please note we do not hold or process your payment details directly these are all done through a third party secure card processing facility.
We will never collect
sensitive information about you without your agreement. You have a right to ask
for a copy of the information which we are holding on you and we will provide
this for a small fee. We will delete information or correct any inaccuracies
for no charge as soon as you make the request.
Data will only be released
to third parties (e.g. the police) on request where there is a legal
requirement for us to do so.
Cookies – what they are
and how we use them
Cookies are small text
files that our website and sometimes emails place in your computer to ensure
that your experience of our offerings is as effective as possible. They
remember any options you have chosen for example and your password or
particular interests. They also enable us to track visitors’ usage of our site
so that we can continuously improve it. There’s nothing mysterious about them
and they do not collect personal data.
Like pretty much all
website owners we have always operated cookies and visitors have had the
benefit of using them. EU regulations now require us to inform you of what they
are and give you the option to prohibit them if you wish.
We’re using the word
‘cookies‘ here to include things like ‘web beacons’ and ‘Flash cookies’ which
serve similar functions. ‘Your computer’ includes anything connected to the
internet including laptops, office machines, tablets, mobile phones and so on.
Now, or in the future, we
may use cookies in the following categories:
Necessary – without these
our website will not function correctly.
Helpful – to us and to
you. We monitor visitor activity on our website (without collecting any data on
you) so that we can improve the site structure, page routing options and
processing systems to help all visitors. These cookies also help us to guide
you to pages likely to be of most interest to you.
Personal – for your
benefit. These cookies remember your password and other preferences and can
allow you to link onwards to watch a video or join in an online conversation.
On emails. We may use web beacons to check whether our emails are actually opened and whether any links in them are clicked on. That way we learn not to send you junk. If you choose plain text to download instead of HTML the web beacon is eliminated. And all our emails also give you a total opt-out procedure.
The above has been a
simple introduction to cookies, what they are and why we use them. For more
information try www.allaboutcookies.org.
Rather than listing data
on all the cookies we use or may use in the future you will almost certainly
find it quicker and easier to set your web browser to control cookie usage on
all the sites you visit. If you have a very old browser you may need to bring
it up to date to use effective cookie controls.
In continuing to use our
website you are agreeing to our use of cookies as outlined above.
