COOKIE POLICY

ILUVLTD website (www.iluvscotland.co.uk) places cookies, which are small data files, on your computer or handheld device. This is standard practice for all websites.

Cookies are essential for helping us deliver a high quality website and online shopping experience for our customers, and some collect information about browsing and buying behaviour. For more information about cookies, including how we use them and how to disable them, please email us for our full Cookie Policy.

By using and browsing the ILUVLTD website, you consent to cookies being used in accordance with our policy. If you do not consent, you must disable cookies or refrain from using the site. For further information about managing and disabling cookies on your computer see www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer. A cookie can be thought of as an Internet user's identification card. They let the website know when the user has returned. This lets the site bring up information relevant to that user, for example your name, past orders etc.

Cookies make the interaction between users and websites faster and easier. Without cookies, it would be very difficult for a website to allow a visitor to fill up a shopping basket or to remember the user's preferences or registration details for a future visit. The ScotlandShop website uses cookies to allow customers to move from one part of the web site to another and to add items to the shopping basket without having to login repeatedly.

Cookies are not computer programs, and can't read other information saved on your hard drive. They cannot be used to disseminate viruses, or get a user's email address etc. They only contain and transfer to the website as much information as the users themselves have disclosed to that website.

 

Essential Cookies - to allow you to use the basic functions such as browsing our tartan products, placing orders and making payments, accessing your account if you have one and viewing your current and previous orders.

Performance Cookies - these allow us to look at usage of our website, how many visitors we have and how you are finding us. We use this information to improve your browsing experience better, improve our website and show you the products and information you want to see.

Functionality Cookies - these allow us to provide extra functionality such as pricing in alternative currencies and retain this information for your next visit. These cookies are not essential to the operation of our website but they do really improve your user experience.

Targeting Cookies - We also use cookies to track visitors' interest in our products. We may use this information to understand which products and information most appeals to our customers so we can make our offers as relevant as we can. Browsing behaviour is also used to create relevant banner advertising with product recommendations that we believe best relate to the items you viewed on our website. These banners are then served across other websites that you may visit, typically news sites, video sites and blogs. This process is called behavioural advertising and although the adverts are individually tailored to each visitor, all cookie data is anonymised and stored temporarily. Additionally, all banners of this type feature an "i" icon that provides more information from each advertising network and instructions on how to opt out. We also use the browsing behaviour data to create personal product recommendations on our website, our marketing emails and in our printed catalogue.

We use encryption to safeguard your credit card information and only accept orders from web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology - this means you cannot inadvertently place an order through an unsecured connection. Most web browsers above version three support this security.

This encryption makes it virtually impossible for unauthorised parties to read any information that you send us. The encryption technique we use is the highest standard available for e-commerce and certified by VeriSign, the world's most respected certification body for Internet firms.

We will ask you to consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy when you first visit our website and based on this agreement we may process usage data including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths along with information about the timing, frequency and pattern of your use of our website. This information is sourced via Google Analytics and allows us to ensure our website and service is maintained to the highest standards.
