Introduction

We take online security extremely seriously.

That's why, when you use your credit card, all your data is encrypted to the highest standard and held on a secure computer that means it's protected from hackers and criminals.

We also use something called the Verisign secured seal. This is an independent, industry-recognised system that allows you to check the ownership and security of any website.
It's one more assurance that when you place an order with Comet.co.uk, it's absolutely secure.

Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode

Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode both help to protect your card against unauthorised use when you shop online by asking you to enter a personal password every time you buy.

How do I register?

It's easy - basically all you do is register as part of the standard checkout process.
Once your card issuer has confirmed your identity, you'll be asked to choose a password.
You'll then use the same password each time you purchase online at participating stores.

If you decide not to register depending on your cardholder we may not be able to process your order.
