Cookie Policy

Cookies are small pieces of information stored by websites on the visitor’s device, specifically within the web browser. These cookies record certain interactions of the user with the website, such as login details, language preferences, and shopping cart contents. They are essential for remembering specific settings or user preferences for future visits and can even gather information about browsing behavior, which is useful for personalizing content or advertisements.

While cookies store valuable data, they typically identify machines (browsers) rather than individual persons. They do this through unique identification codes. As a result, a user who visits the same website from a different browser is often seen as a new user because a new cookie is created. These cookies are accessible and configurable through browser settings, where users can also delete them if desired.
