1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files containing strings of alphanumeric characters that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized experiences for users.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to understand how you interact with our website, to enhance your browsing experience, and to serve personalized advertisements or content. Cookies allow our systems to recognize your browser and remember certain information. By using our website and clicking 'Accept All' on our cookie banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

3. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with the core services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas, processing your shopping cart, and ensuring billing accuracy. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, you cannot refuse them without severely impacting how our site functions.

4. Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information in an aggregate and anonymous form to help us understand how our website is being used. They track metrics such as the number of visitors, the pages visited most frequently, and the time spent on the site. This data helps us improve the overall performance and design of our platform.

5. Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences, such as your language choice or region. These cookies enhance your experience by preventing you from having to re-enter information repeatedly.

6. Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies record your visit to our website, the specific pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third-party advertising networks for this precise purpose.

7. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own first-party cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies provided by trusted partners. These partners help us report usage statistics, deliver targeted advertisements, and integrate social media features. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies governing their use of your data.

8. Cookie Consent

If you choose to reject cookies through your browser, you may still use our website, though your access to certain functionality and areas may be severely restricted.

10. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some internet browsers incorporate a 'Do Not Track' feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our website currently does not respond to DNT browser signals.
