Cookie Use and Policy

1. Our aim and why cookies are important

   1. Vaboose is operated by Rhema Studio Limited established in 2006 dedicated to providing shoppers with the best deals, discounts, sales and coupons from leading brands and retailers. We usually but not always earn a small commission when you redeem one of our coupon codes on a retailer website. Our aim is to bring you the best offers from the biggest range of retailers in the UK even though not all offers or coupons reward us with a commission. In order to get paid our commission a cookie is used to track that the purchase you make on the retailer's website has originated at Vaboose.
   2. Vaboose uses many different affiliate networks who sit in between us and the retailer website. These networks use cookies to track the sales we refer to the retailer's website and are anonymous meaning that we cannot identify you personally.

2. What are cookies?

   1. A cookie is a small piece of data stored by a website within a browser (usually Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Chrome) and then subsequently sent back to the same website by the browser. Cookies are a reliable mechanism for websites to remember things that a browser has done there in the past, which can include having clicked particular buttons or visiting specific pages.
   2.
