With respect to cookies:
Cookies are used on this shopping site to keep track of the contents of your shopping cart, to store delivery addresses if the address book is used and to store your details if you select the ‘Remember Me’ Option. They are also used after you have logged on as part of that process. You can turn off cookies within your browser by going to ‘Tools | Internet Options | Privacy’ and selecting to block cookies. If you turn off cookies, you will be unable to place orders or benefit from the other features that use cookies. We use cookies to record session information, such as items that consumers add to their shopping cart & to ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads.
Please note: Cookie laws have changed with effect from 26th May 2011.
On 26th May 2011, new laws came into force in the UK that affect most web sites. If cookies are used in a site, the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) (Amendment) Regulations 2011 (UK Regulations) provide that certain information must be given to that site’s visitors and the user must give his or her consent to the placing of the cookies.
Websitementor believes it complies with the new rules by asking site visitors to expressly confirm that they are happy for us to remember their details.
The regulations coming into force on May 26, 2012 (deferred from 2011) need us to tell you about how we use cookies and provide you with a method of accepting or rejecting our use of them. We have a box on our checkout page that requies you to explicitly accept our Cookie policy and Terms & Conditions.
Cookies are small files containing a short string of numbers and letters placed automatically by a website into the cookie folder in your browser. Cookies are generally used to make a website easier and faster to use. The cookie recognises that a device is or has accessed the website and acts accordingly, (depending on what the cookie is designed to do). Mostly cookies perform mundane, but necessary tasks.
We use cookies for the following purposes:
– To ensure that products you as a customer add to your shopping basket remain in your basket as you go through the checkout process, so you get what you pay for.
