Privacy and Cookies
This Cookie Statement explains how we use cookies and similar technologies in the course of our business. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. This Cookie Statement is and will be treated as part of our Terms and Conditions, and is automatically incorporated therein..
In some cases we may use cookies and other tracking technologies described in this Cookie Statement to collect information for things such as advertising personalisation, customer experience and managing performance. Some of this data may be classed as personal information if we were to combine it with other information. Cookies do not store sensitive or personally identifiable information, such as name, address or credit card details. For more information about how we process your Personal Information, please consult our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online retailers like ourselves in order to (for example) make their website or services work better, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies are used for things such as tracking the items that you add to the shopping basket on our website so are important to allow you to purchase products on our website. The cookies on our website dont contain highly personal information within them such as your address or credit card details and we only use them to improve the website experience.
Having cookies enabled in your web browser is important to allow to to purchase items on our website. You can turn off cookies to prevent them from being saved on your device via the settings within your web browser as detailed further down this page but this will mean that you will only be able to view our products and not be able to purchase them online.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Top Furniture Ltd) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or service you are using (such as advertising, interactive content and analytics). The third parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website or service in question and also when it visits certain other websites or services.
Why do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us and the third parties we work with to track and target the interests of visitors to our website, and we refer to these as “performance” or “functionality” cookies. For example, we use cookies to tailor content and information that we may send or display to you and otherwise personalise your experience while interacting with our website and to otherwise improve the functionality of the Services we provide. Finally, third parties serve cookies from companies such as Google or Facebook are used on our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below. You can read more about Google's privacy and terms here and Facebooks Data policy here.
We use cookies on our website to allow us to offer you a better online service. Cookies are small files that are sent to your browser from our website’s server, which are stored on your device; they are designed to help websites work better or more efficiently. Using cookies allow us to recognise you as a user when you return to our website, and mean we can learn more about our customers.
Other tracking technologies
We and our third party partners may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like pixels (or “clear gifs”) and other tracking technologies. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our website. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to serve targeted advertisements to you and others like you, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. While you may not have the ability to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly; accordingly, in those instances, declining cookies will impair functioning of these technologies.
Targeted online advertising
We have engaged one or more third party service providers such as Google to track and analyse both individualized usage and volume statistical information from interactions with our website. We also partner with one or more third parties (such as advertisers and ad networks) to display advertising and a more personalised user experience on our website and / or to manage and serve advertising on other sites.
These third parties use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar tracking technologies to collect and use certain information about your online activities, either on our website and/or other sites or mobile apps, to infer your interests and deliver you targeted advertisements that are more tailored to you based on your browsing activities and inferred interests (“Interest Based Advertising”). For more information about this practice, click here: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
Our third party service providers may also use cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to our website and/or other sites to measure and track the effectiveness of advertisements and our online marketing activities (for example, by collecting data on how many times you click on one of our ads). The information collected by these third parties does not include personal information that enables you to be specifically identified (e.g. by reference to your name or email address). More details about the information that we share with our third parties such as Google and Facebook can be found in our Privacy Policy.
Embedded content
If you visit a web page that contains embedded content from a source such as YouTube or Social Media companies that are connected to social sharing buttons on our website then you may be sent cookies from these websites. We don't control the setting of these cookies, so we suggest that you check the third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.
How can I control cookies?

Disabling Most Interest Based Advertising: Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of Interest Based Advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
Mobile Advertising: You can opt out of having your mobile advertising identifiers used for certain types of Interest Based Advertising, including those performed by us, by accessing the settings in your Apple or Android mobile device and following the most recent published instructions. If you opt out, we will remove all data about you and no further data collection or tracking will occur. The random ID we (or our third party partners) had previously assigned to you will also be removed. This means that if at a later stage, you decide to opt-in, we will not be able to continue and track you using the same ID as before, and you will for all practical purposes be a new user to our system.
Do Not Track: Some Internet browsers - like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari - include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for “DNT” signals have not been adopted, our Website does not currently process or respond to “DNT” signals. Top Furniture Ltd takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard. To learn more about “DNT”, please visit All About Do Not Track.
