What are cookies? How does Home Safety Store use cookies?

A cookie is a small data file that websites often store on your computer’s hard drive when you visit their sites. A cookie may contain information, such as a unique user ID that websites use to track the pages of the sites you have visited. We use cookies but do not store personally identifiable information in your cookie. We use cookies in order to improve your search and buying experience. Cookies enable us to keep track of your search preferences and product selections as you use our site. You can refuse cookies by turning them off your browser. If you turn off cookies, we will not be able to track your order to enable you to purchase products from our site. Nor will we be able to recognise you as a registered customer, which allows you to access your account information.

Is my information secure?

Protecting your order information is important to us. Home Safety Store uses PayPal to provide a secure environment for the authorisation of credit card transactions over the internet. Confidential information including client credit card details are encrypted the moment they are transmitted from the client’s browser to the banking network using industry standard SSL (secure sockets layer (SSL) technology) 128-bit encryption technology. A client’s credit card details are not stored anywhere on the internet and the only company who has access to this data is the merchant’s bank. The bank also sends confirmation information via the same encryption technology back to the client’s browser. These secure processes provide clients with peace of mind when purchasing online. Some browsers and some firewalls do not permit communication through secure servers like the ones we use to process orders at homesafetystore.com.au. To check the security of your connection, look at the lower left hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then SSL is active. You can also double check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from “http” to “https” If your browser or firewall doesn’t support SSL you will not be able to connect to the server. This means you won’t be able to mistakenly place an order through an unsecured connection. If you cannot access the secure server for any reason, please contact us.
