Privacy Policy
What information do we
collect? How do we use it?
When you order, we need to know your name, e-mail address,
delivery address, credit or debit card number and expiry date. This allows us
to process and fulfill your orders and to notify you of your order status. When
you enter a competition or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name,
address and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners.
If you have requested to opt-in, we may also use the contact information we
collect to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the
Web site, new services and special offers we think you'll find valuable. You
can opt out at any time, simply click the 'unsubscribe' link found on the every
newsletter you receive.
How does Reel Angling Supplies protect your
information?
When you place orders, our secure server software (SSL) encrypts
all information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore, as required by
the UK Data Protection Act 1998, we follow strict security procedures in the
storage and disclosure of information which you have given us, to prevent
unauthorised access. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally
request proof of identity before we are able to disclose sensitive information
to you.
We respect your right to the privacy of your personal information.
We will never pass your details on to other third parties. By providing your
email address and/or phone number, you are agreeing to receive contact
regarding your order plus our promotional material relating to special offers
and discounts. If you do not wish to be contacted by us, then please opt out of
this contact when creating your account online or contact us via phone, email
or post.
Cookies
To ensure we comply with new regulations, we use a system of
classifying the various cookies which we use on our website, or cookies which
may have been dropped by third parties through our website. This is intended to
provide you with information explaining what cookies we use, why we use them,
and what functionality you will lose if you decide that you don't want to use
cookies on your device. We are continuing to develop other privacy and
cookie-related improvements to our website.
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information
that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive when you visit a
website. Cookies are very useful as they allow a website to recognise a user's

personally, but they do enable us to provide features such as pop-up message
windows and other browser functions between visits. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to prevent that. If
you choose the latter option, you may be unable to access certain areas of the

device for a period of time that is specified by the cookie. They are activated
each time a user visits the website that generated that particular cookie.

actions of a user during a web browser session. A browser session starts when a
user opens the browser window and terminates when the browser is closed.
Session cookies are only created on a temporary basis and once the browser
window is closed, these are deleted.

Cookies used on our website
A list of cookies we use on our website is explained below.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies enable services that you have specifically asked
for. For cookies that are deemed strictly necessary, no consent is required.
These cookies are essential in that they let you move around our
website and use various features, such as accessing the secure areas of our
website. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for (such as the
shopping basket or secure billing), cannot be provided.
Performance cookies
These cookies collect anonymous information on the pages visited
by the user. By using our website, you agree that we can place these
performance cookies on your device.
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the
website, such as which pages are visited most often or if any error messages
are created by web pages. No information is collected that can identify a
visitor. The information collected is aggregated and is completely anonymous,
and the information is only used to improve the website's performance.
Functionality cookies
These cookies simply remember choices you have made, that improve
your experience of our website. By using the website, you agree that we can
place these types of cookies on your device.
Targeting or advertising cookies
These are cookies that collect information about your browsing
habits in order to make advertising relevant to you and your interests.
They are also used to limit the number of times you may see an
advert, as well as measuring the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. They
are usually placed by advertising companies with our permission. These cookies
remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with
other organisations, such as advertisers. Often, these types of cookies will be
linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.
Behavioural advertising and online privacy

Using browser settings to manage cookies
The help menu on most browsers will tell you how to stop your
browser from accepting new cookies, or how to get your browser to inform you
when you receive a new cookie, or even how to disable cookies altogether. You
can also disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons by changing the
settings or visiting the website of the providing company.
Be aware, though, that cookies let you take advantage of some of
our website's essential features, and as such, we highly recommend that you
leave them turned on. For example, if you block or reject cookies from our
website, you will not be able to add items to your shopping basket or proceed
to the checkout.
What if I do not accept cookies?
If you choose not to accept a cookie, you will not be able to
purchase products via our website. However, you will still be able to place an

have your explicit consent, or where we are required or permitted to do so by
law, or to any successors in title to our business.
