This information may include, but is not limited to, details such as your name, your address and your credit card details. When you view our site by linking from another web page we may store the name of that web page for purposes of internal administration.
What are cookies and how do we use them?
Cookies are small amounts of information that are sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive and contain information as to the internet sites you have visited.
We may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you and to personalise your contact with us.
