What are cookies, and what are they used for?
Cookies (or similar technologies) are text files, containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your browsing device (such as a computer or smartphone) when you visit a platform. Cookies can be recognised by the platform that downloaded them — or other platforms that use the same cookies. This helps platforms know if the browsing device has visited them before.
In order to purchase items from After The Antique, you need to have some cookies enabled on your computer or device. The After The Antique website uses cookies to allow customers to move from one part of the web site to another and to add items to the shopping basket without having to login repeatedly.
If you disable these cookies, you may be able to still browse the site, however you may not be able to make purchases or take advantage of other features. Please note that cookies are computer specific, so if you log on to any site from a different computer, the cookie settings on that computer will apply. For more information about cookies you can visit https://www.aboutcookies.org/.

In certain circumstances we may need to disclose information about you if you breach this privacy policy or if you breach the Terms and Conditions. We may also disclose or access your account if required to do so by law or by any Governmental body.
