What are Cookies
Cookies are tiny text files stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages, which we use to keep track of what you have in your basket, and to remember you when you return to our site. So what are they and why do we use them?
To order products on our site, you need to have cookies enabled - see the section on below on managing cookies. If you don't wish to enable cookies, you'll still be able to browse the site and use it for research purposes. Most web browsers have cookies enabled, but see below for more information on how to turn them on should you need to.
Cookies can't harm your computer. We don't store personally identifiable information such as credit card details in cookies we create, but we do use encrypted information gathered from them to help improve your experience of our site.

Third Party Cookies
When you visit shop.ashmolean.org you may notice that some links may bring you to other websites, for example our Print on Demand site www.AshmoleanPrints.com. We have relationships with carefully selected retail partners, accessible through our site, who produce and supply some of our products. These partner sites may also set cookies during your visit to their sites, to be used for remarketing purposes - in other words, to show you different products and services based on what you appear to be interested in.
