Websites then use this data from the browser each time the website is visited to ‘remember’ certain functions the browser had performed in past visits. The main aim of SAGE’s cookies is to help our customers have a better user experience.

To be able to order inspection/review copies or to purchase products from SAGE, you will need to have cookies enabled. If you do not enable cookies, you will still be able to browse our site but will not be able to add anything to your basket/cart or place an order.
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.

As part of purchasing products from SAGE, requesting services, participating in surveys, or accessing special areas on our Web Site, you may be required to supply us with personally identifiable information (“PII”).
SAGE may use your PII for internal purposes, to process your transaction, or for marketing purposes.

SAGE does not track such online activities
SAGE may provide access to course materials and/or services to educational institutions, associations and other similar customers through its web site or through a third party web site.

You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose your PII (such as your name or email address) in a forum accessible to others (e.g., on blogs, bulletin boards, chat areas and other similar forums including, without limitation, those hosted within a social site), your PII may be collected and disclosed by others. SAGE cannot take responsibility for such collection and disclosure.
We may also disclose PII in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this PII is reasonably necessary to: comply with the law, enforce or apply our terms of business, protect our rights and those of our users, or with your consent.
If you do not wish to have your PII exchanged or disclosed, please see our contact information above.
