A "cookie" is a piece of text that a website transfers to a directory
on your computer's hard disk, so that the website can remember who you are. A
cookie will typically contain the name of the website from which the cookie has
come, the 'lifetime' of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated
unique number. Allowing a website to create a cookie does not give that or any
other website access to the rest of your computer, and only the site that created
the cookie can read it. When you install you browsing software the default setting
is to accept all cookies.
In the case of this site the cookie contains information that tells the web server
which country you have chosen as your default Local Country so that you can receive
local content relevant to yourself on every visit to the site. Cookies are also
used to enable your shopping basket in the Online Store.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in
your browser. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features
of our site if cookies are disabled. To find out more about cookies and how to
