Websites then use this data from the browser each time the website is visited to ‘remember’ certain functions the browser had performed in past visits. The main aim of SAGE’s cookies is to help our customers have a better user experience.
At SAGE we use cookies to help customers who want us to remember them, to stay logged into our sites, so you aren’t always required to remember a password. We also use cookies to remember items that have been added to your basket/cart.
SAGE's Cookie Policy
To be able to order inspection/review copies or to purchase products from SAGE, you will need to have cookies enabled. If you do not enable cookies, you will still be able to browse our site but will not be able to add anything to your basket/cart or place an order.
We don't store any credit card details in cookies or any information to identify you personally. We do use information gathered from some cookies to help improve your experience. For example, some of the cookies we use ultimately help us identify potential areas of our site that customers may find difficult to interact with or find confusing and in turn either leave the website or drop out of making a transaction. If we are able to identify these areas, it means we are able to improve them for our customers.
This information is being provided to ensure that SAGE is being transparent about our use of cookies, to make it clear how we use the information we collect and to be in compliance with EU legislation.
