This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are in an easy-to-understand way. We’ll also show you how we use them to make your browsing experience more enjoyable and how you can control your cookie settings if you’d prefer.

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data that is saved on your device when you visit a website. It usually includes information about the website, a unique identity, and details about your browsing history. Cookies allow websites to identify your browser and remember your settings, resulting in a more personalized experience. A cookie is basically a note that helps the website remember things about you, like your preferences or what pages you’ve visited.

Why do websites use cookies?

Cookies help websites personalize your experience and make things run smoother. For example, a cookie might remember your login information so you don’t have to type it in every time you visit. They can also help websites understand how people use them, so they can improve their design and functionality.

A cookie might hold:

  1. Website Information: This helps the website function properly, like remembering the page you’re on or the items in your shopping cart.
  2. Unique Identifier: This is like a nickname the website gives you to distinguish you from other visitors.
  3. Browsing Activity (Optional): Some cookies might track what pages you visit or products you look at, helping the website recommend relevant content or deals.

By understanding cookies, you can make informed choices about your online privacy. Most web browsers allow you to control your cookie settings, so you can choose whether to accept them or not. We’ll cover how to manage your cookie preferences later in this policy.

Transparency is important to us! We collaborate with various third-party services that may set cookies during your visit. These partners fall into three main categories:
