This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Some functionality on our site also uses localStorage, which is a similar browser storage mechanism.

Cookies We Use

We use four categories of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies

Required

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as security, shopping cart and account access. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

Examples:

· Session cookie (cart contents, login state)
· CSRF token (security)
· Cookie consent preference

Performance cookies

Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are most popular, how long visitors spend on pages, and where they come from. All data is aggregated and anonymous.

Examples:

· Google Analytics (_ga, _gid)
· Vercel Analytics

Functional cookies

Optional

These cookies remember your preferences to improve your experience — such as your preferred VAT display mode and your recently viewed products. Most of these are stored in localStorage rather than cookies.

Examples:

· VAT display preference
· Recently viewed products
· Wishlist (localStorage)
· Search history

Marketing cookies

Optional

These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show relevant ads. We only use these where you have given your consent.

Examples:

· Google Ads conversion tracking
· LinkedIn Insight Tag
