On each visit to our site, our site requires a single cookie to be set on your computer, called a 'session cookie'. It stores only a unique identier which allows our website to deliver the pages and information you have requested only to you. This cookie lasts only as long as you have your web browser open.
We also save another cookie on your computer called “cookies” that is set after we have displayed a notice on our site about our cookies. This cookie is saved for two years, and tells our system not to bother you with the message again.
In addition to these cookies, we also set four more cookies which enable us to have access to Google’s analytics services.
These cookies all begin with “__utm” and some of these cookies are set to last for two years too. Google stores the analytics data obtained from these cookies, not us. Google collects information about how you got to our site, and how you moved around it, and further information on the data they collect is available on their site here. We don't gain access to personally identifiable information through Google Analytics, it merely provides us with trends and analysis which helps us work out which of our products and pages are popular.
If cookies concern you, you can turn them off in your web browser, but it will mean that our site won't work for you and you won't be able to shop with us.

If you are in the European Union and you cancel your order within seven days after the day you get your goods, and you cancel the whole order, we will refund your order, in accordance with the Distance Selling Regulations. You will have to pay the costs of sending the order back to us. Please make sure you get proof of postage and arrange adequate insurance to cover your returns.
In accordance with paragraph 3.49 of the Distance Selling Regulations where Gift Wrapping and/or Express Delivery were provided, these were done so under separate contract between us and notice is (and was at time of sale) given in our Terms and Conditions of both this and the ending of your cancellation rights for these.
To cancel your order, you must inform us in writing to our returns address. Please mark this clearly as 'DSR Cancellation Request', so that we can ensure it is dealt with efficiently.
Where you ordered gift wrapping and we have not yet started gift wrapping your item at the time you cancelled your order with us, this may be refunded, otherwise it cannot be.
Where you ordered express shipping and we have not yet arranged for your item to be express shipped at the time you cancelled your order with us, this may be refunded, otherwise it cannot be.
Where you ordered express shipping and we have already arranged for your item to be express shipped at the time you cancelled your order with us, we will instead refund the cost of standard delivery.
We will not be able to refund any post & packing charges if you only cancel part of your order.
If you are not in the European Union, we remain happy to accept returns, however you will need to pay for the return postage of the item back to us and the initial post and packing costs will not be refunded.
