What types of cookies do we use?
We use a variety of cookies on our website, which can be categorized as follows:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like user login, account management, and shopping cart functionality. We cannot operate the website without these cookies.

How long will cookies stay on my device?
The duration a cookie stays on your device depends on whether it’s a “session cookie” or a “persistent cookie.” Session cookies expire automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. The specific expiration times of the cookies we use are listed in the cookie table (which you can add if you identify specific cookies used on your site).
