Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 18, 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. We also use browser localStorage, which works similarly but stores data locally without sending it to a server on every request. Together these technologies help the site work correctly and remember your preferences.
2. Why we use them
We use cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember your selected language, save your shopping cart between visits, and record whether you have already seen a notification or promotion. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or sell any data.
