We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

Cookies help us to facilitate your shopping process, including making it possible for us to store information regarding your design, image, text and other selections for our products that you are personalising, and the contents of your shopping cart. By doing this, we can custom tailor your experience and save you time during checkout. It’s possible to prevent cookies from being used by your browser.
