WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are tiny text files stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages. At hortensestudio.com, we use cookies to keep track of what you have in your basket and to remember you when you return to our site.
To order products on hortensestudio.com, you need to have cookies enabled – see the section on managing cookies. If you don’t wish to enable cookies, you’ll still be able to browse the site and use it for research purposes. Most web browsers have cookies enabled; should you need to turn them on, see managing cookies below for help.
Please note that cookies can’t harm your computer. We don’t store personally identifiable information such as credit-card details in cookies we create, but we do use encrypted information gathered from them to help improve your experience of the site. For example, they help us to identify and resolve errors, or to determine relevant related products to show you when you’re browsing.
We do have relationships with carefully selected and monitored suppliers who may also set cookies during your visit to be used for remarketing purposes – in other words to show you different products and services based on what you appear to be interested in.
We’re giving you this information as part of our initiative to comply with recent legislation, and to make sure we’re honest and clear about your privacy when using our website.
