Cookie Policy

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

There are different types of cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary and are erased when you close your browser. They enable the website to remember your actions during a browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple site visits.
• First-party Cookies: Set by the website you are visiting.
• Third-party Cookies: Set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, often used for advertising or analytics.

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:

• Essential/Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for technical reasons to enable our website to operate correctly, such as maintaining your login session or remembering items in your shopping cart. Without these, the website cannot function as intended.
• Performance/Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This includes data on which pages are most popular, how long users spend on the site, and if they encounter any errors. This data helps us improve our website's performance and user experience.
• Functionality Cookies: These allow our website to remember choices you make (like your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, remembering your preferences for future visits.
• Advertising/Targeting Cookies: These are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These are often placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

Third parties also serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes, as detailed further in this policy.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager, which can typically be found in a notification banner upon your first visit or linked in our website's footer.

• The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject.
• Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services and ensure the basic functionality of our website.
• If you choose to reject non-essential cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted or personalized features may not work as expected.

Most web browsers also allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail including them.

This allows us, for example, to:

• Monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another.
• Deliver or communicate with cookies.
• Understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website.
• Improve site performance and measure the success of email marketing campaigns.
• Gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
