Cookies help us remember who you are and other information about your visits. They can help display the information on a website in a way that matches your interests. Most major websites use cookies. Some cookies on this site are essential, and the web site won’t work as expected without them. For example without the temporary cookies we use you would not be able to add items to your basket and make a purchase. We give you the option to choose if you would like to have your customer ID remembered to make it easier for you to place an order (we do not recommend setting the “Remember Me” option on if you are using a shared computer/internet access device). This information also enables us to show you products by your favorite artists when you visit the web site. Every now and again, we may ask you for your opinion on our services and the products you have purchased through our services. When we do research or surveys, we may use cookies and may combine the information collected by those cookies with your answers. What is a cookie and what does it do?
