Which Cookies are used by The Worm that Turned?
Cookies used by us:
• Basket – This stores the id. of the basket you are putting your products into.
• Login – This allows us to store your login session id. once you login so that you don’t have to login on every page.
Cookies used by our partners:
• Google Analytics – Google Analytics is a tool that allows us to track visitors and see how our site is used at a macro level. All personal information collected is anonymised so neither Google nor The Worm that Turned can use your details for any marketing purposes. We use this for seeing which products and pages are most/least popular and thereby improve the service for future users.
• Email Tracking – From time to time we send out marketing emails to users who have opted in to our mailing list. These emails have cookies that allow us to track how many visitors clicked on a link in the email and how much revenue each email generates.
• Affiliate Cookies – From time to time we work affiliate sites (websites that are paid to help us find new customers). These require us to use cookies to tell us which site you came from so that any visits/sales that are the result of one of these sites are correctly attributed to those sites. Your personal details are not stored.
