What are cookies
Cookies are tiny text files stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages. At Bensons For Beds we use cookies for various reasons, including to keep track of what you have in your basket and to remember you when you return to our site.
We use the following cookies for the following purposes:
- Necessary cookies. These are essential cookies required for the operation of our website. They are always enabled because our website won’t work properly without them. They include cookies that enable you to order products on our site.
- Preference cookies. These cookies are used to recognise you when you return to our site. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember your preferences such as your region.
- Statistics cookies. These cookies are used to help us understand how users interact with our website so that we can better understand their needs.
- Marketing cookies. These cookies are used to control whether or not you will be shown relevant adverts on other platforms. Switching off these cookies will mean you will see generic advertising on other platforms rather than ads which are most relevant to you.
Cookies can be first party (set by the website you are visiting) or third party (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting). Cookies can remain for the session (i.e. they last for the duration of a session on a website) or persistent (i.e. they continue once the session has ended).
We ask for your consent to use cookies unless the cookie is used for the sole purpose of transmitting communications or it is strictly necessary to provide our services.
