A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers, it contains no personal information such as your name or email address. Such information will not identify you personally, it is simply statistical data. The cookie is stored on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. The information within it may be sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser. Cookies may be placed on your device by OIDIO SOUND, which are known as ‘first party’ cookies. Cookies may also be placed by another party, such as our analytics partners (e.g. Google) or payment processors (e.g. PayPal). These are called ‘third party’ cookies. Where targeting cookies are placed by third parties, any information collected by them will be used in accordance with their own privacy policies, you can find out more on their websites.

Our payment services provider "PayPal" may also send you cookies. Please consult their website (paypal.com) to see their privacy policy.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting all cookies on your devices and / or by changing the cookie settings of your browser or device. Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one. We need to make you aware that if you disable cookies, some parts of our site will not function correctly, so you may not be able to login or purchase items if cookies are disabled. To disable third party cookies, you may need to visit the third party’s website or disable them separately in the browser.
