Cookies
To achieve the high access speeds which we know our customers appreciate, we make use of a temporary cookie to hold the details of products selected for the Shopping Basket/Trolley. We also create temporary cookies to handle the checkout information. Cookies are small, text-only files which are stored on the user's computer. We only set cookies that are automatically deleted when the user's browser is closed. Our Shopping Basket/Trolley system will not work if a user declines to accept our cookies or has JavaScript disabled (see next).

Javascript
Javascript is a very useful programming language which allows web pages to be made more interactive and to perform tasks such as calculation and data verification. We use Javascript to run our basket and checkout system. It is safe for you to allow Javascript to run as it cannot access your files. Javascript should not be confused with Microsoft's ActiveX that can access your files under certain conditions.
