CONSUMER DATA POLICY

Melbourne Coffee Merchants is committed to keeping your details private. Any information we collect in relation to you is kept strictly secured. We do not pass on, sell or swap any of your personal details with anyone else. We use this information to provide you with Melbourne Coffee Merchants updates (if requested) and to personalise our communications with you.

Melbourne Coffee Merchants uses cookies to help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. Melbourne Coffee Merchants will work without cookies enabled, but they allow us to give you a more friendly, interesting and enjoyable shopping experience.

Whenever you use our website, or any other website, the computer on which the web pages are stored (the Web server) needs to know the network address of your computer so that it can send the requested web pages to your Internet browser. The unique network address of your computer is called its “IP address,” and is sent automatically each time you access any Internet site. From a computer’s IP address, it is possible to determine the general geographic location of that computer but otherwise it is anonymous.

We do not keep a record of the IP addresses from which users access our site except where you have specifically provided us with information about yourself, in which case we also record your IP address for security purposes. An example of this would be when signing in to your account or proceeding to a checkout to finalise an order you may wish to make.

We might at time to time run ads on other sites using a third-party vendor such as Google. These third party vendors can use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visit to websites. If you would prefer to opt-out of a third party’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Opt-Out Page.
