Cookies and pixel tags

The Website uses cookies and pixel tags to distinguish you from other users of the Website, to improve the quality of our service, and to present you with products which are relevant to your browsing history.

A cookie is a small amount of data which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to in this policy as a ‘device’) from the Website and is stored on your device’s hard drive. A cookie records on your device information relating to your internet activity (such as whether you have visited the Website before).

If you do not want us to use cookies when you use the Websites, you can adjust your internet browser settings not to accept cookies. Your web browser's help function should tell you how to do this. Alternatively, you can find information about how to do this for all the commonly used internet browsers at www.aboutcookies.org/default.aspx  This website will also explain how you can delete cookies which are already stored on your device. You acknowledge that if your computer is set to reject cookies, you may still use the Website, but your ability to use some of the areas of the Website will be limited.

A pixel tag is an invisible tag placed on a website, but not on your device, for the purpose of tracking activity on that website. When you access those pages of the Website, pixel tags generate a notice of that visit. Pixel tags usually work in conjunction with cookies.

We currently set the following cookies and pixel tags:

1. Google Tag Manager Container is a Google product that enables website owners to centrally control the use of third-party tags on their website. We use the following third-party tags in Google Tag Manager Container:

Google AdWords Conversion - This records conversions on the Website’s conversion pages from search ads or product listing ads (shopping), as well as the conversion value of users once they make a purchase on the Website. You can opt out of Google AdWords Conversion by visiting Google's Ads Settings. 

Google Analytics - This is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. to track Website behaviour. You can opt out of

Google Analytics without affecting your use of the Website – for more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics, visit this Google page. 

2. Facebook Pixel

There is one pixel for Facebook which gives us user Website behaviour information after a user interacts with our Facebook or Instagram ads. We track everything from a user viewing a specific product, through adding that item to cart and checking out. This allows us to retarget, build lookalike audiences, and run dynamic product ads. The standard events the Facebook pixel is customized to report on are different types of conversion events such as a Page View, View Content (Product Page), Add to Cart, and Purchase. You can opt out of the Facebook Pixel by visiting the Adverts tab in your Facebook profile settings.
