The main aim of Sage’s cookies is to help our customers have a better user experience.

We don't store any credit card details in cookies or any information to identify you personally. We do use information gathered from some cookies to help improve your experience. For example, some of the cookies we use ultimately help us identify potential areas of our site that customers may find difficult to interact with or find confusing and in turn either leave the website or drop out of making a transaction. If we are able to identify these areas, it means we are able to improve them for our customers.

This information is being provided to ensure that Sage is being transparent about our use of cookies, to make it clear how we use the information we collect and to be in compliance with EU legislation.
