1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to supply information to the website owner.

Cookies can be “persistent” (they remain on your device until deleted or until they expire) or “session” (they are deleted when you close your browser). Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services that operate within the website (“third-party cookies”).

C. Google Analytics Opt-Out

If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents your data from being used by Google Analytics across all websites.


7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

⚠ Important: Disabling certain cookies may significantly affect your experience on our Platform. Please review the potential impacts below:

If You Disable... Impact
Strictly Necessary Cookies You will not be able to log in, add items to your cart, or complete purchases. The Platform will be essentially non-functional.
Functional Cookies Your language, theme, and currency preferences will not be remembered between sessions. You will need to set them each time you visit.
Analytics Cookies No impact on your experience. We simply will not receive anonymized usage data from your visits.
Security Cookies You may be repeatedly challenged by security checks, and access to the Platform may be restricted by Cloudflare.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers have a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that allows users to signal that they do not wish to be tracked. At this time, our Platform does not respond to browser DNT signals due to the lack of an industry-wide standard for DNT implementation.

However, you can manage your tracking preferences by adjusting your cookie settings as described in Section 6 of this policy, or by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, changes in legislation, or improvements to our Platform. When we make material changes:

  • We will post the revised Cookies Policy on our Platform.
  • For significant changes, we may provide additional notice (such as a banner notification or email to registered users).

Your continued use of the Platform after any changes to this Cookies Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
