1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies:
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them.
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
- Cookies can also be “first-party” or “third-party” cookies:
- First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for various purposes, including:
Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of our Website and enable you to navigate our site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping carts or account login, cannot be provided.
Performance/Analytics Cookies: We use these cookies to collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are visited most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. This helps us to improve the way our Website works. We specifically use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”).
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our Website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and the pages you visit.
This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We use this information to understand website traffic and user behavior to optimize our Website and improve user experience.
You can learn more about how Google uses your data through Google Analytics here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
You can also opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
Marketing/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable to publishers and third-party advertisers. We currently do not use marketing or advertising cookies. If we do in the future, we will update this policy accordingly.

4. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to Google Analytics, which sets third-party cookies, our website uses services like WooCommerce, Stripe, and PayPal to facilitate e-commerce operations.

We do not control these third-party cookies, and we encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of these third parties. We may also embed content from other third-party websites (e.g., social media feeds), which may set their own cookies.
