Our website uses ‘cookies’, (small bits of data, which are sent to your Internet browser and stored on your computer) which allow us to recall your preferences when you re-visit our site. Most websites do this. Cookies can be used to identify your account in our system whenever you are logged in, but don’t carry any personal information about you.

You can choose to turn off cookies in your browser settings; however, this will mean that some of our website functions will be unavailable to you, e.g. you may not be able to sign in.

If you choose to pay for your online purchases with a credit card, this will go through the Stripe payment gateway. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa and Mastercard.

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.

Occasionally there may be information on our site that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability.
