When you use Savers' online services, we use cookies.
Why we use Cookies
At Savers, we use cookies to ensure the best possible experience when shopping with us.
We respect your privacy and use cookies responsibly, ensuring they only enhance your shopping experience without compromising your control.
What happens if I opt out of all Cookies?
Our website relies on essential cookies to manage your shopping basket and reserve stock. These cookies allow us to store items in your basket until you're ready to check out. If you decide to opt out of all cookies, you will still be able to browse our website, but we won't be able to save your basket or complete your order. This means you'll need to accept these essential cookies in order to place an order with us.
a. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.
Whilst you do not need to allow your browser to accept cookies in order to browse much of our web site or to access many of our services, you must have cookies enabled if you wish to shop online at any of our stores or access any areas reserved for registered users.
Most browsers allow you to turn off the cookie function. If you want to know how to do this please look at the help menu on your browser or read Google's Turning Cookies On page that covers common browsers. As described above this will restrict the online services you can use.
On Approved Food's websites, cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the websites to your interests. Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised features cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly they may not be able to take full advantage of all of the website's features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
During the course of any visit to any Approved Food website, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
b. How does Savers use Cookies?
Cookies are used to identify you as a user and retain your basket information.
We use Cookies to store your preferences on the site.
Information supplied by cookies can also help us to analyse the profile of our visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience.
c. Third Party Cookies on Savers pages
Please note that during your visits to Savers websites you may notice some cookies that are not related to the Savers. When you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, YouTube, you may be presented with cookies from these websites. Savers does not control the dissemination of these cookies. You should check the third party websites for more information about these.
How to control, Opt Out or delete cookies
If you wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by Approved Food websites, or indeed any other website, you can do this through your browser settings. The Help function within your browser should tell you how.
Alternatively, you may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of browsers. You will also find details on how to delete cookies from your computer as well as more general information about cookies. For information on how to do this on the browser of your mobile phone you will need to refer to your handset manual.
Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact on the functionality of Savers' website.
Savers use a number of suppliers who also set cookies on the websites on our behalf in order to deliver the services that they are providing.
