How do we protect your information?

Our website is securely hosted by Hetzner on the latest hardware at one of their state-of-the-art data centres. These facilities provide resilient and redundant network infrastructure which allows for maximum uptime, with absolute attention to security.
Payments are handled by third-party service providers, therefore, none of your payment information is stored with us. Once payment is made, only the outcome of the transaction is communicated to us – such as the success or failure of payment.

Do we use cookies?
Yes, we use cookies (Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser – if you allow- that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognise your browser, capture and remember certain information).

We use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart, understand and save your preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

If you prefer, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies via your browser settings. Like most websites, if you turn your cookies off, some of our services may not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone or by contacting customer service.

Do we disclose any information to third parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
