How does Cintesi use cookies?


Our website uses "cookies," which are small data files that are stored on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies enable you to shop on our website and may be used in a variety of ways to enhance or personalise your online browsing and shopping experience.


For example, we may use cookies to enable you to use certain website features, remember the items in your shopping cart, store your preferences, recognise you when you return to our website, track your orders, and monitor and maintain information about your use of our websites.


You can set your browser not to accept cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the opportunity to decide whether to accept it. If you do not accept cookies, however, you will not be able to access your account information or make purchases on our websites.


How do I know my personal information is secure?


We do our best to provide you with a safe and convenient shopping experience.

When you enter your personal information on our website, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect your information as it is transmitted to us. Where an online retailer uses SSL technology, at the checkout the online retailer serves and your PC encrypts everything that you enter into your computer, such as credit card details, billing and delivery address. When it is encrypted, generally other computers are unable to make sense of it, therefore keeping the information private while it is being transmitted.


To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, if you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then the SSL is active. To double check for security, look at the URL or Location line of your browser. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from "http" to "https".


While we implement the above security measures on this site, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible.


By entering your details you give Cintesi permission to add you to their database for promotional purposes.
