Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies
As mentioned previously, we collect information from your visits to our website to help us gather statistics about its usage and effectiveness, to personalise your experience, and tailor our interactions with you. We do so through the use of various technologies, including scripts, and cookies. A cookie is a piece of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as a tag that identifies your computer.
Cookies are used to measure website usage (such as number of visitors and duration of visit) and interest (such as topics or pages visited) and to allow for ease of navigation or use. As such they are not associated with any personal information, they are also used at times to personalise a known visitor’s experience to a website when associated with profile information or user preferences. Over time this information provides valuable insight to help improve the user experience.
Session cookies are stored in temporary memory and erased when the web browser is closed. Persistent cookies store user preferences for current and successive visits. They are written on your device’s hard disk and therefore still valid when you restart your browser.
There are automated browser mechanisms to restrict tracking instructions, but currently these are not recognised on our website. However, your privacy preferences regarding the use of most cookies and similar technologies can be managed though your web browser by access settings typically under the heading “Tools”.
Since cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our websites’ features we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you block, turn off or otherwise reject our cookies, some web pages may not display properly, or you will not be able to report product or operational issues, add items to your shopping cart, proceed to checkout, or use any website services that require you to sign in.
