1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing alphanumeric characters that are downloaded to your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They allow the platform to remember your preferences, secure your sessions, verify geolocation states, and analyze web traffic patterns. Cookies do not contain files that can execute code, nor do they grant us access to your device's hard drive.
2. How We Categorize Our Cookies
We classify the cookies used on our website into three primary categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are critical to the operational integrity of our site. They support secure checkout sessions, verify your geolocation compliance status, handle security tokens, and manage form submissions. Without these, the site cannot function, and they cannot be disabled.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymized statistics regarding web traffic, page views, and checkout conversion rates. We use them to optimize our pages and measure the performance of our marketing campaigns. They do not store any personal identity details.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies allow us to remember your choices, such as whether you have accepted or declined the cookie consent banner, so we do not display the prompt repeatedly.
