What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognise your browser and to provide features such as personalised greetings and storage of items in your Shopping Basket between visits.

We recommend that you enable cookies on our website to take full advantage of the shopping experience. The Help menu on the menu bar of most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies altogether. If you do leave cookies turned on, be sure to log off when you finish using a shared computer.

Does The PaperShed Share Information It Receives?

Information about The PaperShed's shoppers and other users is an important part of our business, and we take steps to maintain the privacy and security of such information against unauthorized access. The PaperShed does not share any information collected about the user with any other third parties.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We also use a secure server hosting location, Firewall protection, controlled access and encryption technology to protect your data. While no system is completely foolproof, we take the security of your personal information very seriously, and our security measures are designed to protect that information in a responsible manner. More detail on the security of The PaperShed can be found at in the 'Security Section'.
