Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 June 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They contain information that helps us recognize you, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our site. Cookies can be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (remain on your device until they expire). They serve important functions including maintaining login sessions, improving performance, and enabling personalized experiences.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies: (1) Essential cookies required for site functionality and security, (2) Analytics cookies that track page visits, user behavior, and traffic patterns, (3) Functional cookies that remember your preferences and settings, and (4) Marketing cookies used to display relevant advertisements and promotional offers.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Essential cookies are required for basic site operations including login, session management, security protection, and form submissions. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. Examples include session identification, CSRF protection, and secure connection verification. These cookies do not track your behavior across sites.

4. Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website, including pages visited, time spent, browser type, and geographical location. This information helps us optimize content, improve user experience, and identify technical issues. We use Google Analytics and similar third-party analytics services. These cookies are persistent and expire after 12-24 months.

5. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences such as language selection, account information, delivery address, product selections, and saved items. These enhance your experience by allowing us to customize content and services. Functional cookies are persistent and expire after 6-12 months unless you delete them manually.

6. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies track your interaction with our website and display targeted advertisements based on your browsing behavior. These cookies may be set by third-party advertising partners and allow us to measure campaign effectiveness and reach interested customers. Marketing cookies can track you across multiple websites.

7. Social Media Cookies

If you use social sharing features, social media platforms may set cookies to track your interaction and improve their services. These cookies allow you to log in using social media accounts and share content. Social platforms have separate cookie policies; we recommend reviewing them.

8. How to Manage Cookies

You can manage cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner, which appears when you first visit our website. Click "Customize" to select which cookie categories to enable or disable. Essential cookies cannot be disabled. You can also modify cookie settings in your browser's privacy settings, though this may affect site functionality. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser; consult your browser's help section for specific steps.

9. Cookie Consent and Control

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner allows you to accept all cookies or customize preferences. Your choice is stored in localStorage so the banner does not reappear unless you clear your browser data or reset preferences. You can manage cookies at any time through the banner or by visiting our cookie preferences page.

10. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by external services such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms. These cookies are beyond our direct control but are subject to our instructions and their own privacy policies. We only use reputable third-party services with appropriate data protection measures.

11. Cookie Retention and Expiration

Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are retained based on their purpose: functional cookies typically expire after 6-12 months, analytics cookies after 12-24 months, and marketing cookies after 3-12 months. You can delete cookies manually through your browser at any time.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, new technologies, or legal requirements. Updates become effective immediately upon posting. We encourage you to review this policy regularly. Significant changes will be communicated through our website or email.

13. Your Privacy Rights
