What Are Cookies
As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies—tiny files that are downloaded to your computer—to improve your experience. This page describes what information they gather, how we use it, and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We also explain how you can prevent these cookies from being stored, though this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality. For more general information on cookies, please read “What Are Cookies”.

How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. It is recommended that you leave all cookies enabled unless you are sure you do not need them in case they are used to provide a service you rely upon.

Disabling Cookies
You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting your browser settings (see your browser’s Help section for how to do this). Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites you visit. Disabling cookies will usually result in also disabling certain functionality and features of this site. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not disable cookies.

The Cookies We Set

  • Account-related cookies If you create an account with us, we will use cookies for managing the signup process and general administration. These cookies will usually be deleted when you log out; however, in some cases, they may remain afterwards to remember your site preferences when logged out.
  • Login-related cookies We use cookies when you are logged in to remember this status. This prevents you from needing to log in every time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out to ensure you can only access restricted features and areas when logged in.
  • Email newsletter-related cookies This site offers newsletter or email subscription services, and cookies may be used to remember if you are already registered and whether to show certain notifications which might only be relevant to subscribed/unsubscribed users.
  • Orders processing-related cookies This site offers e-commerce or payment facilities, and some cookies are essential to ensure that your order is remembered between pages so that we can process it properly.
  • Forms-related cookies When you submit data through a form, such as those found on contact pages or comment forms, cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence.
  • Site preferences cookies To provide you with a great experience on this site, we enable the functionality to set your preferences for how this site runs when you use it.

Third-Party Cookies
In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through this site.

  • Third-party analytics are used to track and measure usage of this site so that we can continue to produce engaging content. These cookies may track metrics such as how long you spend on the site or which pages you visit, helping us understand how to improve the site for you.
  • From time to time, we test new features and make subtle changes to the way the site is delivered. When testing new features, these cookies may be used to ensure you receive a consistent experience while ensuring we understand which optimisations our users appreciate the most.
  • Since we sell products, it is important for us to understand statistics about how many visitors to our site make a purchase. This data allows us to monitor our advertising and product costs to ensure the best possible pricing.
  • The Google AdSense service we use to serve advertising uses a DoubleClick cookie to serve more relevant ads across the web and limit the number of times a given ad is shown to you. For more information on Google AdSense, see the official Google AdSense privacy FAQ.
  • We use advertisements to offset the costs of running this site and to fund further development. The behavioural advertising cookies used by this site are designed to ensure that we provide you with the most relevant adverts by anonymously tracking your interests and presenting similar content that may interest you.
  • Several partners advertise on our behalf, and affiliate tracking cookies allow us to see if our customers have come to the site through one of our partner sites. This helps us credit them appropriately and, where applicable, allows our affiliate partners to provide any bonuses they may offer for making a purchase.
  • We also use social media buttons and/or plugins on this site that allow you to connect with your social network in various ways. For these to work, the following social media sites, including {List the social networks whose features you have integrated with your site?:12}, may set cookies through our site. These cookies may be used to enhance your profile on their platform or contribute to the data they hold for various purposes outlined in their respective privacy policies.
