What are Cookies and Why We use Them
We use ‘cookies’ to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web server. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For instance a cookie is tells the web server that you have returned to a specific page, such as when you return to our website to purchase additional products and the website 'remembers' your account details.
We also use cookies to help us analyse trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. This data can be used to deliver customised content and promotions to those whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
For example, we gather information about your computer hardware and software including your IP address, browser type, domain names, internet service provider (ISP), the files viewed on our site, operating system, pages you visited on the site, access times and which website referred you to us. This information is used by Bev Direct to provide general statistics regarding use of the Bev Direct website. This data is not linked to your name, email address, address or phone number. We collect this data to help us improve our website.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work in the way intended and others are designed to improve its performance.

We will use the session cookies to:
- keep track of you whilst you navigate the website;
- keep track of items in your shopping basket;
- prevent fraud and increase website security.
We will use the persistent cookies to enable our website to recognise you when you visit.
