Cookie policy

Cookies are short pieces of text that a site asks your browser to keep on your device. Without cookies every page load would start from nothing; with them, the catalogue remembers your basket, whether you are signed in and your preferences as you move between pages.

There are three reasons Euro CCTV sets cookies. The first is essential functionality (sign-in, basket, security); the second is measuring how the catalogue is used, so that we can improve it; the third is remembering your preferences for when you come back.

These are what the website needs in order to function at all: they keep you signed in, carry your basket from page to page and protect the site from fraud and abuse. That is why they cannot be switched off; without them, the site simply would not work.

Analytics cookies tell us how the catalogue is actually used, which is what we need to know to improve it. What they gather is anonymous usage data (pages viewed, time on page, search terms), and it never identifies you personally.

These carry your settings over from one visit to the next, such as how trade tiers are displayed to you or whether you have already dismissed an in-page notice.

Not every cookie on our pages is ours. Third-party services that appear here, our analytics provider and our payment processor among them, can set their own, and each of those services publishes its own privacy and cookie policies.

Your browser settings are where cookies are controlled and deleted. It is worth knowing that switching off the essential ones will stop you signing in or placing orders, because those features depend on them.
