What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a text file that the website you visit requests to store on your computer (note: "computer" also refers to tablets and smartphones unless otherwise stated) and allows the website to identify you as a visitor. The information stored in the cookie can be used to track your browsing activity on websites that use the same type of cookie, enabling customized offers and advertisements to be displayed to you.

There are two types of cookies. The first type is more persistent and stores a text file on your computer for a longer period. These cookies have a specific expiration date and are used for functions such as informing you about new content since your last visit to the website. Once the expiration date of the cookie has passed, it will be deleted from your computer when you revisit the website that placed the cookie.

The second type of cookie is more temporary (so-called session cookies) and is stored temporarily in your device while you visit a website. These cookies are used, for example, to remember the language you have selected for the website and disappear as soon as you close your browser.

What Types of Cookies Do We Use and for What Purposes?

We use both persistent and session cookies. The primary purpose of using cookies is to enable transactions in our online store, facilitate website traffic analysis, and improve our customer service.

Through our cookies, we also store information about which pages on our website and in our online store you have visited. This allows us to tailor our offers and advertisements on our website based on your interests.

We use Google Analytics, a web-based analytics tool provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google uses this information to evaluate visitor behavior on the website, compile reports on website usage, and provide services related to website activities and internet usage. Additionally, Google may personalize the advertisements you see based on your previous browsing activity.

The information stored in the cookies used by Google's tools (such as IP addresses) is forwarded to and stored on Google's servers located worldwide. As a result, the information may be processed on a server in a country different from where you reside. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or when such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google does not associate your IP address with any other information stored by Google.
