Cookie Usage
The standard cookie policy for this website is to allow all cookies as they are fundamental to the functionality of the shopping process, including, but not limited to, the operation of the shopping cart itself. For more information on cookies, please refer to http://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
The privacy and security of your personal information is very important to us. We are not saving or sharing any personal information about you through cookies - that includes your payment card number or address; in fact, Steenbergs never receives your payment card data during online transactions as we transfer you to PayPal’s or Stripe's servers for the payment process. We strive to protect your personal data and only use your personal data to process your chosen transaction. We do not provide cookie-derived information so third parties can target advertising to you, or in other way provide information to third parties to advertise or market to you, save for the opt-in procedure for contacts by our chosen charity partner. If you would like to learn more about how we protect your privacy please read our Privacy Policy.
