1. What a Cookie Is
A cookie is a small text file that a site places in your browser. Cookies keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and measure how the site is used.
2. Categories We Use
- Essential: session identifier, security token (CSRF), language and currency preference, and the record of your cookie choice. The site cannot work without them and they do not require consent. Duration: the session, or up to twelve months.
- Functional: panel display preferences and recently used filters. Duration: up to six months. Consent required.
- Analytics: aggregate statistics such as page views and time on page. Duration: up to twenty-four months. Consent required.
- Marketing: set only with your explicit consent, and not placed at all until it is given.
3. Consent
A consent banner is shown on your first visit. No non-essential cookie is placed until you accept. You can choose by category and change or withdraw your choice at any time through the same banner.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Payment pages may use the payment provider’s fraud-prevention cookies (Stripe, PayPal); these are necessary to secure the transaction. Embedded maps and videos load only if you have consented.
5. Browser Settings
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies prevents signing in and placing orders.
