Cookies Policy

Last Updated: November 13, 2017

A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer’s hard disk, so that the website can remember certain information. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.

Currently, two types of cookies are used on this Website. However, cookies may be changed at any time by updating this posting. Please refer to the “Last Updated” legend at the top of this posting.

Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site.

We use session cookies to:

• Carry information across pages of our Website and maintain your preferred language throughout the session. For example: We keep a session cookie which allows us to distinguish you from other users, so that we can keep a virtual “basket” of the products you add to your shopping cart.  This cookie will be initiated each time you affirm your age on our Website. This cookie will be initiated each time you affirm your age on our Website.

Persistent cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser even after the browser is closed. The length of time a cookie remains depends on its lifespan.

We use persistent cookies to:

• Help us recognize that you have already affirmed your age with the Website. If you select the “Remember Me” option, a non-expiring cookie will be used to keep your birth date and country of residence and allows re-entry to the Website without having to affirm your age each time you visit. If you do not choose the “Remember Me” feature, then a cookie is held for two hours and allows re-entry to the Website without having to affirm your age each time you visit. After two hours, you will be prompted to affirm your age again to gain entry to our Website.
• Track the number of entries to a contest/sweepstakes/prize draw. If a contest/sweepstakes/prize draw allows only one entry per day, a cookie may be used to prevent multiple entries. This type of cookie is used only if you enter a contest/sweepstakes/prize draw.
• Generate anonymous, aggregated statistics about the visitors to this Website by using Google Analytics. These statistics help us understand how users navigate the Website and help us improve the structure of our Website. These statistics include for example: most popular and least popular pages visited, amount of time visitors stay on the site and the percentage of visitors that leave the site before entering their birth date. These cookies expire within two years after you leave the Website. Google offers instructions to opt out of tracking by Google Analytics across all websites at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Some of the pages you visit on our website use content embedded from another website, for example YouTube. You may be sent cookies from these websites. These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.

We don’t actually control these cookies and we would recommend that you visit these third parties for more information about their cookies:

–  Barclaycard SmartPay (payment provider)

–  YouTube (to view videos)

–  Facebook (to share content)

Note that most browsers are initially set to accept cookies.  However, you have the ability to disable cookies if you wish, generally through changing the internet software browsing settings.  It may also be possible to change the settings to enable acceptance of specific cookies.  Please refer to the help section on your browser.
