Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types of cookies our store uses, and how you can manage or withdraw your preferences at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes in more detail how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit it. Once stored on your device, a cookie allows the site to recognize your browser on later visits, remember choices you have made, and support features such as staying logged in or keeping items in your shopping cart.
3. The Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies, each serving a different purpose. Not all of them require your consent, as explained below.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our store to function properly. They enable core features such as keeping your shopping cart contents, allowing you to log into your account, and maintaining the security of the site. Because the store cannot operate without them, strictly necessary cookies are set automatically and do not require your consent.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make while browsing, such as your preferred language or region, so that we can provide a more personalized and convenient shopping experience on future visits.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are viewed most often — so that we can improve the site's performance and content. These cookies are only set with your consent.
3.4 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to show you advertising that is more relevant to your interests. Like analytics cookies, these are only set with your consent.
4. Your Consent Choices
When you first visit our website, we present a cookie banner asking for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, and marketing). You are free to accept or decline these categories. You can review, change, or withdraw your consent at any time by returning to the cookie settings, or by adjusting the cookie controls available in your browser.
5. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on its type:
- Session cookies: these are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: these remain on your device until they reach their expiration date or until you delete them manually.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
In addition to the choices offered through our cookie banner, most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings menu. Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may affect the functionality of our store and prevent some features, such as the shopping cart or checkout, from working correctly.
7. 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. Any changes will be posted on this page, so we encourage you to review it periodically.
