unless you have changed the settings in your browser so as not to accept

time you return to the site. Other than this, we store a 'Session ID' which
helps us to determine if you have logged into your club website. These IDs are
highly encrypted and have no direct correlation with your personal data. We do
not store your password or any other information in the cookie, or use it for
any other purpose. Our third-party advertisers may place or recognise a unique
cookie on your browser. You can at any time set your browser to notify you
before you receive a cookie, giving you the opportunity to decide whether to
accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. This may impair
your experience of your club website, but will not prevent you from maintaining
your account or placing orders.
From time to time we may employ a third party to send out e-mail campaigns that
uses cookies and pixels to track the emails that we send you and we may use
this information to notify you of products and services that may be of interest
