What are cookies?
Cookies are simple text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier, the website’s domain name, and some digits and numbers. There are two categories of cookies used on the Stinkyink website:
Necessary cookies:
Necessary cookies enable us to recognise whether you have visited our website before and if you have created an account. This enables you to stay logged in, so you can quickly access your previous orders. In your account we store your name, address, and a record of the products you have ordered from us previously and if you’ve added it, your printer model. This makes ordering quicker as you do not need to enter fresh information every time you order and can quickly order the same items you’ve purchased previously. Please be aware that for your added security, Stinkyink does not store any financial information e.g. credit or debit card details, so each time you order you will need to provide that information. As the name suggests this type of cookie is stored for all visits to our website.
