What is a cookie?
A cookie is a text file which contains information helping a computer or device to remember something a user has done previously on that website, e.g. the items in a customer’s basket. A cookie is placed by the website within the computer or device via the user’s web browser, and is subsequently sent back to the same website by the browser.
Cookies are harmless files and do not carry viruses, install malware or cause any harm to your computer.
The Jewel Hut uses cookies to help deliver the best shopping experience for customers. We use different types of cookies (outlined below) including authentication cookies, which help the website recognise whether a user is logged in or if it needs to ask the user to do so.
The website also employs cookies and similar technologies placed by third party partners, which enables us to provide users with relevant advertising and further improve the shopping experience.
