What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that store information on your browser, which recognise when you have visited a website before, improving your experience by saving your shopping basket contents, storing any personal details or preferences you have saved and offering personalised preferences. Cookies are required for you to be able to buy products, so that the products in your basket can be remembered and carried through to the checkout.
Cookies are effectively a memory for an individual website. Each website can only access cookies set by their own domain. However note that most websites contain elements from various web domains (for example the social sharing buttons are from another domain and this third party may set their own cookies to allow social sharing) so you may receive cookies from several sources.
Please note that cookies do not store any personally identifiable information such as name, address or credit card details, and they will not harm your computer in any way.
