Additional Information About Cookies
We aim to provide you with the most interactive online experience possible. To achieve this, we use cookies or similar technologies. It’s important for you to know what cookies our site uses and for what purposes. This helps protect your privacy while ensuring the ease of use of our website.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer or mobile device) when you visit certain websites.
Why Use Cookies?
Cookies can be used for various purposes. First and foremost, cookies may be necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the website. For instance, without cookies, it might be challenging for the website to remember that you are logged in or what products you have added to your shopping cart. These are known as essential cookies.
Cookies can also be used to analyze how a website is used, to count the number of visitors, and to understand how the website can be improved. We do not associate website usage statistics and other reports with individual persons. These cookies are known as analytical cookies.
Thirdly, we use social media cookies to allow the integration of social media into the website and enable you to instantly like or share a page or product on your preferred social media platform.
A fourth significant reason for using cookies is to enable online advertising, which can be personalized to display more relevant and interesting ads for you, both on our site and off-site. We achieve this through advertising (targeted) cookies.
For example, our site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”) that helps analyze website usage. For this purpose, Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer.
The information generated by the cookies regarding your use of the website – standard internet log information (including your IP address) and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form – is transmitted to Google and stored by it, including on servers in the United States. Before being sent to Google, your IP address is anonymized.
In line with its certification under the Privacy Shield framework, Google states that it adheres to the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. Google may transfer the information collected by Google Analytics to third parties when required by law or when such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
Under the Google Analytics terms of use, Google will not associate users’ IP addresses with any other data held by Google.
