COOKIE POLICY
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or device when you visit a website. They help the website function properly and provide additional features — such as recognizing you, remembering your preferences, and keeping you logged in.
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies to:
- Ensure that our website displays correctly in your browser.
- Remember your preferences (for example, your chosen language or currency).
- Help protect both the website and our users (for instance, by identifying repeated failed login attempts).
- Distribute server load efficiently.
- Store information you enter during a session (for example when filling out a form or adding items to your shopping cart).
- Authenticate users when they access services requiring a login.
- Enable you to share content on social media.
In addition, third-party cookies are placed on our site to:
- Collect anonymous statistics about site traffic and how visitors interact with the website.
- Track effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
3. What types of cookies do we use?
- Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Enabled): These are essential for the website to function — for example, enabling use of the shopping cart and secure areas. Without them we cannot offer the core features of our site or protect your information. They are enabled by default and cannot be switched off.
- Performance Cookies: These collect information about how visitors use our site (such as which pages are most frequently visited or if errors occur). They provide aggregated, anonymous data to help us improve the website. Your consent is required for these.
- Functionality Cookies: These enable the website to remember your choices (such as your username, selected language, or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features (like viewing videos or interacting with social media). The information they collect is pseudonymized and cannot be used to track your activity across other websites. Your consent is required for these. Please note: if you decline these cookies, some personalized features of the site may not work.
We use specific cookies, for example:
-
__sharethis_cookie_test__(session, strictly necessary) — to check whether your browser accepts cookies. -
