We use a feature of your internet browser called a ‘cookie’ on this Website. A ‘cookie’ is a very small text file that your web browser places on your computer’s hard drive which allows us to help you get the best out of your visit to the Website. A ‘cookie’ can be thought of as an identification card which tells our Website when you have returned. For further information about cookies please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Our ‘cookies’ are only used to store basic information like your user identification. They do not store password or credit card information.

We use ‘cookies’ to make accessing the website more convenient as you won’t need to remember your user name / email address. This information will allow us to welcome you by name and, over time, to personalise our website content to reflect your preferences. For security reasons, you will still need to enter your password. Our ‘cookie’ will remain on your hard drive indefinitely. We guarantee that personal information provided by the user will be employed solely for the purpose of providing any service that the user has requested.

It is possible for you to view our website without providing any personal information. You may place an order as a “guest” or as a registered user but you will need to supply certain personal details (such as name, address, contact number, email address) so that we can process any online order you may make. An advantage of registering is that we will be able to contact you about special offers from which you can benefit. We also use cookies to provide aggregate statistics on visitors to our websites and their browsing behaviour. However, Shadecentre.co.uk will never use this information to identify you personally or to market products and services to you without your consent.

Shadecentre.co.uk uses trusted data analytics service providers like Google Analytics to help us analyse the website visitor statistics collected from our site cookies. For more information on how Google collects and processes data please see How Google Uses Data When You Use Partner Sites Or Apps. Shadecentre.co.uk may also set third party cookies while you are browsing the site and use the data collected for the same analytical purpose. Shadecentre.co.uk sets out strict conditions for the processing of any cookie information by any third party and remains in control of this information at all times.

We guarantee that no user data, personal or otherwise, will ever be passed to external agencies or third parties for any reason unless required by law. Please note that this site advertises on third party sites through Google AdWords, and Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your visit to this site. You may opt out of seeing ads for this site by visiting the Google Opt-out Page.

You can set your browser to accept or reject all (or certain) ‘cookies’. You can also set your browser to alert you each time a ‘cookie’ is presented to your computer. You can delete ‘cookies’ that have been stored on your computer but remember, if you prevent us from placing ‘cookies’ on your computer during your visit or you subsequently delete a ‘cookie’ that has been placed, it will not be possible for you to use this website effectively. The system relies on the ‘cookie’ to identify you as the user.
