Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of Cookies for various purposes, as described below:

• Essential Cookies
• These cookies are crucial for the basic functioning of our websites and for delivering the specific services you request. They support fundamental operations such as secure logins, user authentication, retaining text input during your session, and keeping items in your shopping cart. Without these cookies, some website features and services may not be available or may not work as intended. Because they are necessary for the website to operate, your consent is generally not required for their use.
• Functional Cookies
• Functional cookies allow our websites to remember the choices you make—like your username, language, or region—and provide enhanced, personalized features. They also store your preferences for things like text size or font selection and may recognize if you’ve already interacted with certain site elements, such as pop-up messages or surveys. If you disable these cookies, your preferences may not be saved for future visits, which could affect your experience.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies

The data collected is typically aggregated and anonymized.
• Targeting and Advertising Cookies
• Targeting or advertising cookies are used to present ads that are more relevant to your interests. They are often set by third-party advertising networks with our approval. These cookies remember your activity on our websites and may share this information with other organizations, such as advertisers. They can also be used to limit how often you see a particular ad and to measure the success of advertising campaigns. Additionally, these cookies may track your browsing habits to deliver targeted ads, connect with social networks, or inform advertising partners so they can show you content tailored to your interests.

Do Not Track Signals
