1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, enhance functionality, and analyze how you interact with the content.

Cookies can be “session” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” (remain stored until manually deleted or they expire).

This service also uses session storage, which is automatically deleted when you close your browser.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies – Required for core site functionality (e.g. login, secure checkout). These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies – Help us understand how visitors interact with our website (e.g. Google Analytics). Analytics cookies are only activated after you provide consent via our cookie banner.
  • Marketing cookies – Track user activity to help deliver more relevant advertising (e.g. Meta Pixel / Facebook Ads).

3. Third-Party Tools That Set Cookies

We use trusted third-party services that may place cookies in your browser:

Data may include your IP address (anonymized before storage), device information, and general location. Google may process this data on servers located in the United States. For more information, see Google Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Data Safeguards.
  • Meta Pixel (Facebook) – Used for advertising and conversion tracking.
  • Stripe – Used for secure payment sessions.

These providers may process your data outside the EU. In such cases, safeguards like the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are applied.
