Security is probably one of the most significant concerns when ordering over the internet. For this reason payment processing is performed using PayPal's own secure server. All credit card transactions are secured by 128-bit SSL (secure socket layer) encryption which is a system of scrambling information using a combination of highly complex algorithms.This system is the industry standard and uses the best software available today for secure E-Commerce transactions. This means PERSONAL INFORMATION such as your card number, name and address are encrypted and cannot be read whilst in transit over the internet. This keeps your details safe from internet fraud. PayPal is completely secure, probably more so than using a credit/debit card in a shop. Even we don't see credit/debit card numbers and they are not stored on our system. When you are automatically transferred to the Paypal secure server to enter your personal details and payment details, your browser will display a padlock icon on the bottom right of the browser screen, telling you a secure connection has been made.

The Paypal secure area of the checkout process uses cookies to store information about your shopping basket contents. This is so you can move from page to page while retaining the contents and details of your shopping basket. The shopping basket system is dependant on cookies being enabled, this is standard procedure for the majority of online shopping basket systems, so please make sure your browser is set up to accept cookies (this will be the default setting). It is possible to disable cookies within your browser by going to 'Tools | Internet Options | Privacy' and selecting to block cookies.
