A persistent cookie is stored by a web browser and remains valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted before then by the user. A session cookie expires at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed. Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete them.

We do not store your financial details (credit or debit card numbers).
Personal data that we process will not be kept for longer than two years. We are required under UK tax law to keep your basic personal data (name, address, contact details) for a minimum of 6 years after which time it will be destroyed.

that you no longer wish to receive this information. We work with trusted third parties to operate our website, conduct business and provide our services and only with those who agree to keep information confidential.
