Cookies That We Use
Our Site Cookies:
ASP.NET_SessionId
We use our this cookie to track you from page to page, allowing us to remember such things as what you have in your shopping basket. Without it, for example, you would be unable to proceed through the shopping process as the order information would not be retained.
.ASPXAUTH
This cookie is used to keep track of whether or not you are logged in, and if so, who you are logged in as. If you are logged in, your shopping basket contents are retained against your user profile in the database. This means that the next time you visit and login to the website, your shopping basket contents can be restored. There is absolutely no sensitive data stored in this cookie – we just store enough information to identify you in our database. This information is fully encrypted.
All cookies used are ‘first party’ cookies. This means that any cookie set on the website can only be read back from the website. No other website is able to read or access information from any cookie set by the website. We do not use ‘third party’ cookies which would permit this sort of behaviour by other websites.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
