These are tailored to you based upon your registration details and other information you provide us, your browsing history interactions with our e-mails and information we receive from our trusted partners and specialist data companies to help us understand what you might be interested in. This also includes information provided to us from social media sites when you choose to sign in or log in to this Website through your social media account, or when you link your registration with us to your social media account.

“E-mail a friend” and “share this article”

Location-based services
Where we provide services that utilize your device’s location, such as local weather or news, your location will be determined either from a lookup of your IP address in a “GeoIP” database which lists information provided by your ISP (usually your closest town or borough) or your precise location directly from the device (such as through GPS or Wifi on mobile devices) where you have granted permission for us to access this location information. If you have given us permission to use your location, we may use it for marketing and advertising purposes.
Advertising: Contextual, Behavioral, Location-Based
We use advertising to fund this Website. Some advertising is “contextual,” meaning it is shown due to the particular webpage you are presently viewing. Other advertising, known as “online behavioral advertising” is shown to you based on your likely interests, which are inferred from your device’s browsing history. This information is collected through the use of cookies and similar technologies. You may opt-out of online behavioral advertising at any time. Sometimes we allow advertisers to show advertisements directly on our website, which are tailored to you based upon information they have obtained, such as your browsing history on their own website. Other times we will arrange for our visitors to be shown advertisements on this or other websites. These advertisements are tailored to you with information we have obtained from your browsing on this Website and from information about your likely interests that we obtain from our partners and specialist data companies relating to you and to the devices you use where those partners know you are signed in and, where they have your permission to share this information with us in line with their privacy policies. Where you have granted permission to access your device’s location to us, our advertising partners or specialist data companies, this location information may be used to tailor the advertising you receive, including showing you certain advertisements when you are in the vicinity of a particular location.
Where we arrange for our visitors to be shown advertisements, we use technological and contractual mechanisms to protect your data (including your personal data) and to ensure that your browsing data used for advertising is not used by advertisers or other website owners for other purposes, such as linking online behavioral advertising data with your contact details, unless you have provided the advertiser or another website with your express permission to do this.
If you have registered on this Website, we may analyze the information we hold on you in aggregate with our other visitors to improve our advertising systems. When you are shown an advertisement, our partners’ advertising systems do not know your personal information such as who you are or your contact details (such as your name, e-mail address or postal address). Demographic information from your registration on this Website (such as your age, gender, and city) may be used to tailor the advertising we arrange to be shown. Except with your consent, and as otherwise provide herein, we do not share your personal data nor demographic information with advertisers.
Sharing with Certain Third Parties
When you purchase goods or services from us, we partner with specialist companies to fulfill your order. We usually remain the data controller of your information and the other companies only process data under our instructions and cannot use the information for their own purposes. We will use reasonable endeavors to ensure these third parties process your data securely. Sometimes we bring you promotions from other companies. Here the other company will use your information as the data controller in line with their own privacy policies. We may also use your information for marketing purposes as a data controller. We’ll let you know the precise arrangement at the time you provide your personal information. We may share information about you with suppliers that we engage to help us provide the services and/or functionality, e.g., online payment processing. We also may share your personal information with other companies within Service Provider. We may also share personal information about you to third parties, where you have given us permission or where the third party can confirm that they have your permission for us to do this. We may also provide third parties with certain aggregate statistical data about our visitors’ use of this Website, which may include demographic data such as age range and/or geographic location of groups of our visitors. This aggregate data does not include contact details (such as the customer’s name, address or e-mail address).
Sale, Transfer, Assignment and By Operation of Law
We may transfer, sell or assign any of the information described in this Privacy Policy to third parties as a result of a sale, merger, consolidation, change of control, transfer of assets or reorganization of our business. We may also share your information as required by applicable law.
We have measures in place to protect the security of your personal information from unauthorized access or use, such as by using encryption technology.

What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?
Cookies are small files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Your browser sends these cookies back to the website every time you revisit the site, so it can recognize you. This allows websites to tailor what you see on the screen.
Do You Use Other Technologies Which Are Similar to Cookies?
This Website and e-mails often contain small invisible images known as ‘web beacons’ or ‘tracking pixels.’ These are used in a way similar to cookies, to understand when a particular part of a webpage, e-mail is viewed. We use these similar technologies on websites, e-mail, for the same purposes, and in much the same way as we use cookies on websites. We will use “cookies” and “websites” below as shorthand for “cookies and similar technologies” on “websites, e-mails.
What Do You Use Cookies For?
Cookies are an important part of the internet. They make using websites much smoother and affect lots of the useful features of websites. There are many different uses for cookies, but they fall into four main groups:
Some cookies are essential, so you can move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you’ve asked for can’t be provided. These cookies don’t gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering your browsing history.
For example:
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your language or region and they provide improved features.
For example:
Cookies are also used to enable social media components on this Website, such as embedded content from social media sites such as Facebook or Twitter, share buttons, and videos. The cookies are set by the relevant social media provider. For more information about these cookies, including how to set your preferences for these cookies, please refer to the relevant social media provider’s website for more information.
We like to keep track of what pages, links, and sections of this Website are popular and which ones don’t get used so much to help us keep our sites relevant and up to date. It’s also beneficial to be able to identify trends of how people navigate (find their way through) our sites and if they get ‘error messages’ from web pages. We use cookies, which are often called ‘analytics cookies,’ to gather this information. These cookies don’t store your contact details (such as your name or postal address). We may, however, combine information collected by analytics cookies with other information that you provide to us. For instance, if you have registered for an account with us, we may combine your contact details other information you provide us with the browsing history from your device collected by analytics cookies (including data collected from before you registered and when you are signed-out). We use this information to provide you with personalized content recommendations and marketing communications and to recognize you as the same visitor across different devices you may use. We may also use this combined information to improve our products and services. For instance, we may analyze this information in aggregate to improve our advertising systems.
Some advertising, known as “online behavioral advertising” or “OBA” is tailored to you and uses information collected by first party and third-party cookies. Please see our Privacy Policy above for further information about how we use online behavioral advertising. We also use cookies in order to know how many advertisements we serve, how many times these are clicked or hovered over with a mouse cursor, how many advertisements we show to a given user and how many customer actions these generate. We also use cookies on our own and advertisers’ sites to understand which visitors reach a sale or other action page on an advertiser’s site. This allows us to monitor how many sales or actions we achieve for an advertising client, and therefore, how effective our advertising is. To protect our advertisers’ brands, we often use a technology that scans the page to ascertain that it is safe from profane, sensitive & potentially brand-negative topics, before serving an ad there. This process is called “ad verification.” Our advertisers and we may use information from within our web pages to determine whether you have an ad-blocker enabled. This information may be stored or associated with your device (including through the use of cookies) to re-insert advertisements on this Website and to understand how our visitors use ad-blockers. The advertisements that are re-inserted may include those from ad-blockers’ “whitelists” or that promote our own products and services.
Some of our web pages will contain promotional links to other companies’ sites. If you follow one of these links and then register with or buy something from that other site, a cookie is sometimes used to tell that other site that you came from one of our sites. Such other site may then pay us a small amount for the successful referral.
You can opt-out of receiving cookies by changing your web browser settings. You can usually prevent the operation of web-beacons by changing your web-browser cookie settings and your ad choices, or for those in e-mails, by switching off images in your e-mail client or viewing e-mails using only the “text” display (rather than “HTML” display”). See the “Help” section of your e-mail client for instructions. You can opt-out of analytics cookies on this Website on our “Controlling online behavioral advertising and other third-party cookies” page.
Please note that this Website may not work correctly (or at all) if you change your preferences. For example, you may not be able to purchase products via this Website. However, you may still be able to place an order via our telephone order line. Please consult this Website for more details.
When using a mobile device, you can opt-out of receiving online behavioral advertising by selecting ‘Limit Ad Tracking’ in the Settings of your Apple iPhone or iPad, or the “Opt out of interest-based ads” in the Settings on your Android device. You may also be able to reset your unique identifier used for online behavioral advertising (referred to as an “Advertising ID”) in the Settings on your Apple or Android device. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp
