1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve performance, and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, and SDKs, which we treat as cookies for this Policy.
2) Who sets cookies?
Cookies may be set by us (“first‑party cookies”) or by third parties (“third‑party cookies”), such as analytics providers, advertising partners, and social networks.
3) How we use cookies
- Strictly necessary: essential to operate the site, enable core features (e.g., shopping cart, checkout), keep your session secure, and comply with privacy choices.
- Performance/analytics: help us understand how the site is used, so we can improve speed, usability, and content.
- Functional: remember preferences (e.g., language, region) and enhance features.
- Advertising: deliver and measure ads relevant to you and limit repeat exposure.
- Social media: enable sharing and interactions with social platforms.
4) Legal basis
Where required by law (e.g., EEA/UK), we use consent for non‑essential cookies (performance, functional, advertising, social) and rely on legitimate interest/contract for strictly necessary cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time (see “Manage your cookies”).

6) Manage your cookies
You can manage your preferences anytime:
- Most browsers allow you to block/delete cookies via settings. See: allaboutcookies.org.
- If you block certain cookies, some site features may not function properly (e.g., cart or checkout).

7) Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Our site does not respond to DNT at this time, but you can use the cookie controls above to manage tracking.
8) International transfers
When using third‑party cookies, information may be processed in countries outside your own. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place where required by law.
