What are they?
A "cookie" is a small file stored on your machine that acts as an identifier. Comet uses cookies to store information essential for your shopping experience. Our cookies do not recognise you, they recognise your computer. It just means that we can tell when it's being used for a return visit to comet.co.uk.
Why do we use cookies?
Several reasons. Most importantly, it makes web shopping possible. When you're ready to purchase an item, a cookie allows our site to "remember" that you've added it to your basket. We use both permanent and session cookies to enable our customers to shop, and you'll need to have cookies enabled in order to buy anything from our site.

Benefits of Verified by Visa & MasterCard SecureCode
Verified by Visa and MasterCard Securecode helps to protect your card against unauthorised use when you shop online by requiring you to enter a personal password each time you buy. You only need to register once to create your password and during registration you will be communicating directly with your card issuer via a secure link. We won't be able to see the information you enter.
What if I am already registered?
If you have already registered, you will be asked to enter your personal password during the online checkout process in order to complete your purchase
What do I need to do to register?
If you have not yet registered for Verified by Visa or Mastercard, you will have the opportunity to do so during the checkout process by entering in your details which will be sent via a secure link to your card issuer. Once the card issuer has confirmed your identity, you will be asked to choose a password and we will be able to complete your order. You will then use the same password each time you purchase online at participating stores.
Please note if you choose not to register during the check out process, depending on your card issuer, we may not be able to process your order. A different method of payment will be required to complete your order.
