• Please enable cookies in your web browser to continue.

Cookies are small text files that websites save onto your computer via your web browser. They’ve been around since the mid-1990s and are one of the most widely used technologies on the Internet. Many essential website functions rely on cookies. For example, you can’t shop online without them as they are used to remember what you add to your shopping basket. They also make it possible for you to receive information and advertising online that is likely to be relevant and interesting to you.

The cookies we use at Van-X do not collect any personal information about you and they cannot harm your computer, tablet or mobile phone. They are there to allow our websites to work, and to help us understand what information and advertising is most useful to visitors. This also helps us to personlise your experience and provide you with efficient service. We also use cookies (including similar browser data, such as Flash cookies) for fraud prevention and other purposes.

If your web browser is set to refuse cookies from our website, you will not be able to complete a purchase or take advantage of certain features of our website, such as storing items in your shopping cart or receiving personalised recommendations. As a result, we strongly encourage you to configure your web browser to accept cookies from our website.

How we use cookies

Many cookies on Van-X websites perform essential functions. When you shop online, they remember what’s in your basket.

Other cookies help us understand how our websites are used by visitors, so that we can improve what we do online. We use Web Analytics tools for this. No personal information about you is collected – in fact the Van-X people who work with our Web Analytics tools have no way of telling who you are. They look at things like how long web pages take to load, and what information visitors look at most. They also help identify any parts of our websites that aren’t working as well as they should – so we can fix things.

A third type of cookie lets us know how well our online advertising works, and where we should place our online advertisements. Again, these cookies don’t collect any personal information about you. They let us know if one of our advertisements on another website like Google or Yahoo has sent a visitor to Van-X website.

We may also use cookies to help us reach people who are more interested in Van-X Products. So if you visit Van-X website you may see our advertisements on other sites (but we still won’t know who you are). This is known as re-marketing or behavioural advertising.

Types of cookies used by Van-X

Cookies fall into two general categories: first party cookies (which we set) and third-party cookies (which are set by partners).

First-Party Cookies

These cookies are set by Van-X. For the most part, they enable essential functionality on our website. They also include Web Analytics cookies, which we use to understand how our websites are used by visitors so that we can improve them.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are not set by Van-X, but by selected partners with whom we work. They do not collect or send any personal information about you. Others may be set by advertising networks we work with, so that they can place our online advertisements in the most appropriate places.

Social Media Cookies

Some pages on our websites let you share our content through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes we may embed videos from sites such as YouTube. These sites set their own cookies, which we do not control. You might like to check their websites to find out more about their cookies policies.
