Privacy Policy

This website uses cookies to store information on your computer. Some of these cookies are essential to make our website function and as they give us insight in to how the website is being used, they also enable extended features to help us make improvements.
On May 26th 2012, new rules governing the use of cookies on websites came into force in Europe. Rather than provide an "Opt out" option for website visitors, websites now need to gain the consent of the visitor and they must "Opt In" to be able to store cookies on their computer or other devices.
Cookies are created when a user's browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server. Computer Cookies are created not just by the website the user is browsing, but also by other websites that run ads, widgets, or other elements on the page being loaded. These cookies regulate how ads appear or how widgets and other elements function on the page. Cookies are NOT viruses. Cookies use a plain text format. They are not compiled pieces of code so they cannot be executed nor are they self-executing. Accordingly, they cannot make copies of themselves and spread to other networks to execute and replicate again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they fall outside the standard virus definition.

There are three kinds of cookies:

Functional cookies
These cookies are required for our website to work, they are used to keep track of items you add to your basket, discount codes used and similar functions. As our website will not work without these cookies, they are enabled by default and cannot be turned off.
Analytics cookies
These cookies are set by our analytics systems. They enable us to track the most popular areas and offers on our website. This information is only used by Save Water Save Money. The information collected is anonymous.
Enhancement cookies.
These cookies enable extra functionality on our website, for instance we may include buttons from social network sites such as Facebook so that you can "like" certain pages.
