1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to make websites work, improve performance, and help us understand how the site is used. Related technologies include local storage, pixels, SDKs, and tags (collectively “cookies”).

2) Why we use cookies

  • Operate the site: keep you logged in, protect forms, load pages reliably.

  • Measure & improve: understand which pages are useful and fix issues.

  • Personalize & communicate: remember preferences; show relevant content.

  • Security & fraud prevention: detect misuse or abnormal activity.

3) Categories of cookies we use

  • Strictly Necessary (Essential): required for the website to function (e.g., page navigation, security, load balancing). These cannot be switched off in our systems.

  • Performance/Analytics: help us measure traffic and usage to improve the site (e.g., which pages are popular). We use aggregated reports.

  • Functional: remember choices (e.g., preferred language, cookie consent).

  • Marketing/Advertising (if enabled): used to show more relevant ads or messages and to limit repeats. These may be set by us or by third-party partners.

We do not sell personal information. Some marketing cookies may “share” limited data with providers acting as processors/service providers pursuant to contracts.

4) Examples of cookies (illustrative)

  • Essential: __cf_bm (bot protection), wp_woocommerce_session_* (session), __Host-* security cookies.

  • Analytics: _ga, _ga_*, _gid (Google Analytics), clck/_clsk (Microsoft Clarity, if used).

  • Functional: cookie_consent, preferred_language.

  • Marketing (if enabled): _fbp (Meta), _tt_enable_cookie (TikTok), _uetsid (Microsoft Ads), ytidb::* (YouTube embeds).

(Your exact list depends on which tools you enable.)

5) Your choices

  • Cookie Banner: On first visit we show a banner where you can Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Manage preferences by category.

  • Preference Center: You can revisit your choices anytime via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.

  • Browser controls: You can block/delete cookies in your browser. Blocking essential cookies may break site features.

  • Analytics opt-out: If we use Google Analytics, you may also use Google’s opt-out add-on.

6) Retention

Cookies have different lifespans: “session” cookies are deleted when you close the browser; “persistent” cookies stay until they expire or you delete them. We configure reasonable durations consistent with their purpose.

7) Do Not Track

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track.” We currently do not respond to DNT signals due to lack of a common standard; you can still use the controls above.

8) Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in cookies or regulations. The “Effective date” shows the latest version.
