This is non-personally identifiable information.
We may also use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyse our traffic.

Any further information you provide to us at this stage is also Directly Provided Data, all of which will be personally identifiable information.
If you choose to create an account and register with us, Mabel and Meg will keep that Directly Provided Data for as long as you are registered with us, so that we can then use it to identify you, to operate all the systems (such as delivery systems), and to offer you a personalised, and streamlined experience on Mabel and Meg.

Click the relevant button on the site to add the product(s) to your cart – at which point our systems will collect this Directly Provided Data relating to the item, volume and other product attributes of the item(s) you’ve added, so the item(s) can then be displayed in your ‘Cart’ until the end of that visit.
