STRICTLY NECESSARY

'Strictly necessary' cookies let you move around the website and use essential
features like secure areas, shopping baskets and online billing. These cookies
don't gather any information about you that could be used for marketing or
remembering where you've been on the internet.

We use these to:

 * Remember things like information you've entered on order forms when you
   navigate to different pages in a single web browser session
 * Remember the products you ordered when you get to the checkout page
 * Identify you as being logged in 
 * Make sure you connect to the right service on our website when we make any
   changes to the way the website works

We do not use these to:

 * Gather information that could be used to advertise products or services to
   you
 * Remember your preferences or username beyond your current visit

Accepting these cookies is a condition of using the website, so if you prevent
these cookies we can't guarantee your security or predict how our website will
perform during your visit.


PERFORMANCE

'Performance' cookies collect information about how you use our website, for
example which pages you visit, and if you experience any errors. These cookies
don't collect any information that could identify you – all the information
collected is anonymous and is only used to help us improve how our website
works, understand what interests our users and measure how effective our
advertising is.

We use these to:

 * Provide statistics on how our website is used

Some of these cookies are managed for us by third parties – where this is the
case we don't allow the third party to use the cookies for any purpose other
than those listed above.

mean we can't offer you some services, and will reduce the support we can offer

you didn't want a specific service.

'Like' buttons and 'Share' buttons. The third party provides these services in
return for recognising that you have visited our website.

We use these to:

   about your visit to target advertising to you on other websites
 * Provide advertising agencies with information on your visit so that they can
   present you with adverts that you may be interested in

stop us from offering you some services. All of these cookies are managed by
