We will use the session cookies to: keep track of you whilst you navigate the website; and to store the contents of your shopping basket between sessions. We will use the persistent cookies to: enable our website to recognise you when you visit.
Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date.
