Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which categories of cookies we use on this website, and how you can manage your preferences. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
By continuing to browse or use this site after setting your cookie preferences, you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, phone, 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 let us recognize your device between page loads and, in some cases, between visits, so that certain features of the store function correctly.
Other similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage, and tracking scripts, may operate in a comparable way and are covered by this policy alongside cookies.
3. Categories of cookies we use
We use the following categories of cookies on our store:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the store to function and cannot be switched off. They enable core features such as your shopping cart, secure checkout, account login, and fraud prevention. Because they are essential to the operation of the site, they do not require your consent.
- Functional cookies: These cookies allow the store to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, so we can provide a more personalized experience.
- Analytics cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our store, for example which pages are viewed most often. This information helps us improve the performance and usability of the site. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent.
- Marketing cookies: These cookies are used to show you advertising that is more relevant to your interests, both on our store and elsewhere. Marketing cookies are set only with your consent.
4. Consent and how to manage your preferences
On your first visit to our store, we present a cookie banner asking for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, and marketing cookies). Strictly necessary cookies are used regardless of consent, as the store cannot operate without them.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings available on our site. You can also manage or block cookies directly through your browser settings; most browsers allow you to view, delete, and refuse cookies. Please note that blocking certain cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may affect the functionality of the store, such as your ability to add items to your cart or complete checkout.
5. How long cookies stay on your device
Cookies fall into two categories based on how long they remain on your device:
- Session cookies: these are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: these remain on your device after you close your browser, either until they expire or until you delete them manually.
6. Changes to this 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.
