The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer, although this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the our websites and apps.
Outside Links and Security

When it comes to actual payment, your financial details are handled by a third party payment processing company with a secure, encrypted system so we will never actually see you credit card details unless it is expressly given to our customer support staff for the purposes of providing you with our services. Otherwise, we will only receive your order payment details, as you provide them to the third party payment processing company, along with a confirmation that you have completed the transaction.
Whenever the website of a payment processing company collects sensitive information (such as personal or credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure Layer) at the beginning of the address of the webpage whenever you navigate to their form submission page, or through their login or payment processing web pages.
If at any point you would prefer to use another method of payment, please contact us at: [email protected] and we will do our best to find a suitable solution.
