Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types we use on our website, why we use them, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
By continuing to browse or use our website after being presented with our cookie banner, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. Where consent is required by law, we will only set non-essential cookies once you have given that consent.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device on return visits, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is being used.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage, which work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy wherever we refer to "cookies."
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a number of reasons, including to:
- Enable core store functionality, such as keeping items in your shopping cart and allowing you to log into your account;
- Protect the security and integrity of our website and prevent fraud;
- Remember your preferences, such as your preferred language or region, so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit;
- Understand how visitors use our website, so that we can improve its performance and content;
- Where you have given your consent, show you advertising that is more relevant to your interests.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
The cookies used on our website generally fall into the following categories:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as the shopping cart, secure checkout, account login, and security features. Because these cookies are essential to the operation of our store, they do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through our cookie settings. Without them, services you have requested, such as adding products to your cart, could not be provided.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, and to provide enhanced, more personalized features. The information these cookies collect is generally anonymized and does not track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter error messages. This information helps us improve how our website works. These cookies are only set with your consent and are not used to identify you personally.
3.4 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Like analytics cookies, marketing cookies are only set with your consent.
4. Consent and Managing Your Preferences
On your first visit to our website, we will ask for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies through a cookie banner. You are free to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by returning to our cookie settings. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any use of cookies based on your consent before its withdrawal.
In addition to the controls we provide, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being placed on your device. Please note that if you choose to block or delete strictly necessary cookies, some parts of our website, such as the shopping cart or checkout, may not function correctly.
5. How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Cookies remain on your device for different lengths of time depending on their purpose:
- Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, until they expire or until you delete them manually.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
