Use of Cookies on our site
When you visit PhoneParts.co.uk, you can surf the site anonymously and access important information without revealing your identity. However, in order to provide a better service, we may use “cookies” to track your visit. A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer’s hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.

Cookies can help a website to arrange content to match your preferred interests more quickly. Most major websites use cookies. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.
