Most websites you visit will use cookies or similar technologies (both included within the term 'cookies' in this notice) in order to improve your user experience, for example by remembering which items you have placed in your shopping basket. Cookies usually consist of letters and numbers and will not identify you directly but in some cases they could indirectly identify you if combined with other information.
