Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how and why we use them on our website, and what choices you have regarding their use. It is intended to help you understand our practices so you can make informed decisions about your privacy. This policy 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 having been informed of our use of cookies, you acknowledge and accept our practices around cookies in accordance with this policy, subject to the consent choices described below.
2. 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 to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, items in your shopping cart, or whether you have visited the site before.
Cookies may be set by us ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services we use to operate or improve our store ("third-party cookies"). Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, and local storage, may also be used and are covered by this policy wherever we refer to "cookies."
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use different categories of cookies for different purposes. Each category serves a distinct function, and not all of them require your consent before being placed on your device.
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for our store to function properly. They enable core functionality such as maintaining your shopping cart, processing checkout, keeping you logged in, and ensuring the security of the site. Because these cookies are essential to the operation of the website, they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.
- Functional cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or currency, so that we can provide a more personalized browsing experience.
- Analytics cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information anonymously, such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter errors. This helps us improve the performance and usability of our store. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
- Marketing cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites with the intention of displaying advertisements that are relevant and engaging. Marketing cookies are only set with your consent.
4. Consent and Withdrawal
On your first visit to our website, we will ask for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, and marketing cookies) through a cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, as explained above.
You are free to change or withdraw your consent at any time. You can do this through the cookie settings available on our website, or by adjusting the settings in your web browser to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of our website may not function as intended, and your overall browsing experience may be affected.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including viewing which cookies are stored on your device, deleting them individually or in bulk, and blocking cookies from particular or all websites. Because the method for managing cookies differs from browser to browser, we recommend consulting your browser's help resources for specific instructions.
5. How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
Cookies remain on your device for different lengths of time depending on their type:
- 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 either expire or are manually deleted by you.
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.
