Description of the cookie files used by the site
The site publisher draws the user’s attention to the fact that the following cookies are used during browsing:
Functional cookies
The most important cookies are the functional cookies which are stored on your computer or mobile device for browsing, optimisation and personalisation purposes. They are essential and help you browse the website and use the basic features, to enable you to save your basket, create a wish list and save your shipping details for faster checkout and to remember the country and language you have selected, to know when you are logged in and to ensure we do not ask for information you have already provided. These cookies allow us to analyse site usage so that we can measure and improve performance. These cookies may be placed by us or by a third party on our behalf and are stored for the duration of your browser session.
Performance and analytical cookies
Performance cookies collect data about how the site is used, and they enable us to improve the functionality of the site (for example, by tracking errors and page load times). Analytical cookies collect data about how the Website is used and who visits it (e.g. country/city of origin, device type, browser type, time spent on pages). These data may then be statistically compiled to provide us with information that will enable us to make future improvements to the Website.
We use performance and analytical cookies to improve our Website and present you with relevant offers. To do this, we collect browsing data, which may be associated with a unique identifier to enable us to understand how you use our Website.
Advertising cookies
Advertising cookies enable us to show you advertisements or information related to your interests (on the Website and on other websites) when you browse the Internet from your computer or mobile device. For example, these cookies may be used to prevent you from receiving the same advertisement, or to help us measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. Disabling these cookies has no impact on your use of the Website and will not prevent you from receiving advertisements on the Website (or other websites). The only difference is that the advertising will not be targeted to you (since we will not know your interests or preferences). We will always know how many of our emails are opened and we will automatically receive your IP address, a unique identifier for your computer or other access devices, but we will not identify you as an individual.
Social media and interaction cookies
Social media cookies capture your preferences in order to show you relevant advertisements outside the website. In addition, social media cookies may be used to track your activity on social media platforms. Interaction cookies are used to allow you to interact with social media or submit reviews. These cookies will allow you to like or recommend us on social media and chat with our service agents. But you can also advise our other (potential) customers by rating and giving feedback on our products. The Website may contain cookies from third party service providers that allow you to share the content of the Website with others, to let others know that you have visited the Website, or to share your opinion about the content of the Website. For example, these cookies may generate “Share” or “Like” buttons from social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, etc. Social media may identify you through these cookies and buttons, even if you have not used them while browsing the Website. This happens if your social media account is active on your computer or mobile device (a “login”) while you are visiting the Website.
