Cookies and links to third parties
For further detail on the processes used to share your information please refer to our cookie policy.
A cookie is a small simple file that is sent along with pages of this website and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or another device. The information stored therein may be returned to our servers or to the servers of the relevant third parties during a subsequent visit. Cookies are controlled by your web browser settings.

Storing your information
We are based in the UK and store your data within the European Union (EU). Third party websites may be located outside of the EU. All data is held securely. We only keep your information for as long as required for the purposes it was collected for. This will depend on the information, what it is being used for and any statutory legal requirements.
Payments and card security
Our online payment solutions are carried out using a ‘payment gateway’ (such as PayPal) which is a direct connection to a payment service provided by a bank. This means that when you input card data into the payment page, you are communicating directly with the bank and the bank passes your payment to us. This means that your payment card information is handled by the bank and not processed or held by us.
