Cookies Policy - Information Approved Food collects from you
When you use Approved Food's online services, we use cookies and collect IP addresses.
What happens if I opt out of all cookies?

website. You will, however, still be able to browse our website.
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 Approved Food use cookies?
