What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how you interact with the site. Some cookies are essential for the website to function, while others help us improve your experience.
Your Consent
When you first visit our website, we show a cookie consent banner asking your permission before setting any non-essential cookies. You can accept all cookies, accept only essential cookies, or customize your preferences. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the website footer.
Essential cookies are set without consent as they are strictly necessary for the website to function. We will never set analytics or marketing cookies without your explicit consent.

2. Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are popular, where traffic comes from, and how long people spend browsing. This data is aggregated and anonymous. These cookies are only set if you give consent.

3. Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used for targeted advertising and retargeting. They track your browsing activity to show you relevant ads on social media platforms. Currently, we do not actively use marketing cookies but may introduce them in the future with your consent.
4. Third-Party Service Cookies
Some features of our website rely on third-party services that may set their own cookies:
Managing Cookies
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the website footer. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies will break core features like shopping cart and login.
Data Collected via Cookies
Our cookies do not collect sensitive personal data like passwords, payment information, or government IDs. Session cookies contain encrypted identifiers. Analytics cookies collect aggregated, anonymized browsing data. For details on how we handle your personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
