Cookies
By using our Site and Services, you consent to our use of Cookies and other similar technologies. A cookie is a small file that our web server sends to your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone, etc.) when you visit our Site. It is stored as a text file on your hard drive so we can access it when you visit us again. Cookies contain information that identifies you to our Site, so you don’t have to reenter your information every time you visit. This helps us personalize your shopping experience and gives you easy access to your online account.
TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for our Site to function properly. They enable you to move around the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas.
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our Site, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve Site functions.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Site to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

They help maintain security and ensure smooth navigation during your session.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device beyond a single session and will stay until they expire or you delete them.
