Use of cookies 

The Website uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A  cookie is a text file that is placed by us or our remarketing partners on your hard  drive by a web page server. Our cookies do not run programs or deliver viruses to  your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer, and can only be  read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to your computer.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save  you time. The cookie tells the server that you have returned to a specific page. For  example, if you personalize the Website pages, or register with the Website, a  cookie helps the Website recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This  simplifies the process of recording your Personal Information, such as your billing  address or site preferences. When you return to the same Website, the information  you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Website features  that you customized.
We may place the following cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the  operation of the Website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to  log into secure areas of our Website or make use of e-billing services.
Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognize and count the  number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the Website when they  are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Website works, for example,  by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
If you want to check or change what types of cookies you accept, this can usually be  done within your browser settings. Please note that third parties (including, for  example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic  analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control.

How to reject cookies 

If you do not want to receive cookies, you can usually choose to opt out by modifying  your browser settings to decline them. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not  be able to access all or parts of or to fully experience the interactive features of, the  Carlton House services or web pages you visit.

Data security & integrity 

R&B Wharton Limited is committed to taking reasonable and appropriate steps to  protect the Personal Information that we hold from misuse, loss, or unauthorized  access.

When Personal Information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of  encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. 

However, while we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot  guarantee the security of all data which is transmitted to the Website or to another  website via the internet or a similar connection.
