Cookies and privacy
Pemrose may gather information about you when you use our Website by using cookies. A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. Cookies can help a website to arrange content to match your preferred interests more quickly and are used by most major websites. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.
The Pemrose website utilises three types of cookie :-
-
Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the Website. We use session cookies :-

-
to enable basic personalisation of the Website.
-
Persistent cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer than session cookies (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie). We use persistent cookies :-
-
to enable the Website to remember who you are and authenticate you automatically if you did not log out at the end of your previous session. Some areas of the Website do not accept this level of security and you will need to enter your username and password again;
-
to allow the collection of certain anonymous statistics about how our registered users use the Website, for example, statistics on how many registered users have logged in to the Website, the number of return visits to the Website etc;
-
to keep track of your current shopping session to personalise your experience and so that you may retrieve your shopping basket at any time; and
