Cookies & Privacy

Our website uses cookies from ChaChing and our partners so we can present you with our unique shopping offers, deliver the PayBack, offer support, and show you content we believe you will be interested in. If you’re happy for us use cookies like that, continue to use the site. You can manage cookies via your browser settings or this link. To learn more about how we use cookies, please see our cookie policy.

Please note that we also use Google's Consent Mode on this site which allows Google Ads and Google Analytics cookies/tags to respond to cookie consent preferences made by the user. If users reject the use of such cookies through their preferences, this still allows Google to collect anonymised, non-identifying data about users for aggregated analytics and marketing purposes.

What are cookies and why do we use them?

Cookies and similar technologies (“cookies”) allow small pieces of information to be read from and/or placed onto your device when you visit a website or application. This allows for websites and applications to recognise you or your device on each subsequent visit so that they can remember things like preferences, log in information and saved shopping carts.

Cookies are very useful and do lots of different jobs. For example, they enable you to move between our web pages efficiently, remember your preferences when you visit us again and generally improve your experience when browsing with us. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests, which in turn help us to tailor our communications.

Cookies last for different lengths of time depending on the job they do. There are session cookies and persistent cookies:

Session cookies only last for your online session and disappear from your device when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies stay on your device after the browser has been closed and last for the period of time specified in the cookie.

3. Functional cookies

Functional cookies are used to provide services or to remember settings to improve your visit.

Preventing functional cookies may mean we can't offer you some services that rely on these cookies to function properly, and will reduce the support we can offer you.

In some cases, some functional cookies are managed for us by third parties, but we don't allow the third party to use the cookies for any purpose other than those listed below.

We may use Functional cookies to do things like:

• Share information with partners to provide a service on our website. The information shared is only used to provide the service, product or function and for no other purpose; and
• Provide cart abandonment services.

4. Targeting

The core purpose of targeting cookies (otherwise known as advertising cookies) is to provide us with valuable insights into what our customers want, including but not limited to, insight into the communications and services our customers and potential customers may be interested in.

Disabling targeting cookies, generally does not stop you receiving advertising. It simply means that the advertising you receive is less likely to be aligned with your interests.

In order to gain the insights, in some instances we may analyse your personal information to create a profile of your interests and preferences so that we can contact you with information relevant to you. This helps to avoid you receiving advertising that is not relevant to you or your interests.

In some instances, we may also use this information to inform us of how well our communications are received by our customers and website users. In order to do this, we may make use of additional information about you when it is available from internal and external sources to help us do this effectively.

These cookies are also linked to services provided to us and our customers by our trusted partners (see the Third Parties section below for more information). We/our trusted partners may also share data derived from these cookies with other members of our group for the purpose and provision of the services they provide.

We use Targeting cookies to:

• Link to social networks who may use information about your visit to target advertising to you on other websites;
• Provide advertising agencies, our trusted partners and other members of our group with information on your visit so that we can present adverts that you may be interested in, and prevent you receiving duplicate ads – see the “Online behavioural advertising” section below for further details;
• Deliver content, including video content, tailored to your interests;
• Help us to segment and understand our audience by providing additional information so that we can send the most relevant communications possible;
• Help us identify customers similar to our audience or to serve relevant adverts to you on third party websites and apps;
• Help us to understand how well our marketing initiatives are performing and whether to continue, change or cease those initiatives; and
• To provide tailored communications to you and personalise your use of our website when logged in, and in limited circumstances, when logged out (subject to your preferences).

Online behavioral advertising

We, and our trusted partners (see “Third parties” section below) use information collected from targeting cookies to collect information about your device and identify your interests by understanding how you interact with our websites, communications and services. We do this so we can tailor advertising we show you on our own and third party sites and apps.

The information we and our trusted partners collect and share through targeting cookies does not directly identify you and does not include your name or address. For a small number of trusted partners we will share additional information, this is detailed in the table below.

We use your IP address, together with the interests we have assumed based on how you’ve navigated to and interacted with our website.

You can opt-out of the use of targeting cookies on our website for online behavioural advertising purposes by blocking and/or deleting these cookies as described below.

Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers will allow you to choose the level of privacy settings you want. You can (a) block all cookies, (b) accept all cookies, or (c) pick a setting somewhere in between. This range lets you control your cookie settings, so you can:

• See what cookies you've got and delete them on an individual basis
• Block third party cookies
• Block cookies from particular sites
• Block all cookies from being set
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Deleting cookies means that any preference settings you have made on a website will be lost. If you’ve set your preferences to opt out of cookies, this setting will be lost too, as that information is stored in a cookie. Blocking all cookies means functionality on our websites will be lost, as described above. We don’t recommend turning all cookies off when using our websites.

If you want to reduce your cookie settings at any time – for example, if you accept all cookies, but later decide you don’t want a certain type of cookie – you’ll need to use your browser settings to remove any third party cookies dropped on your previous visit.
