PLEASE READ THIS POLICY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE OR APP

What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that may be placed on your device (such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you access a website or application. These files store information about your interactions with the site and are used for a variety of purposes, including improving site functionality, tracking user activity, and customizing content. Cookies are essential for how websites operate and help personalize the user experience.
We also utilize other similar technologies to gather information when you visit our site and share it with other applications.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
Cookies serve multiple purposes, such as helping with site navigation, storing your preferences, and improving your overall experience. We use cookies to:
- Ensure our services function properly;
- Enhance security by detecting illegal activities, including device identification;
- Display advertisements or relevant content to you — cookies help us tailor ads and content to your interests and measure their effectiveness;
- Manage settings and improve certain service features. This includes collecting data on your visit time, browsing habits, and language preferences;
- Analyze how you use our services and their performance, which helps us maintain, support, and continuously improve them;
- Show targeted ads based on content viewed, app usage, location, or device type, depending on your consent.
What Should You Know About Cookies?
Cookies are instrumental in improving site usability. A cookie is a small text file that saves internet settings. Almost every website uses cookies or similar technologies. These files are stored on your device the first time you visit a site via your web browser.
On subsequent visits, the website recognizes that you have already been there and may adjust content based on your previous interactions. This customization enhances your browsing experience by aligning with your preferences.
We also use cookies to enhance your service experience by remembering your settings. For example, in online stores, items added to your cart will still appear in the cart during your next visit, even if you haven't checked out. This is an example of cookies remembering your choices, which makes using our services more convenient.
Permanent and Session Cookies
A permanent cookie remains in your device's browser until it expires or is deleted by you. Its expiration date is set by the cookie creator and could be triggered either on a specific date or after the session ends. During its lifespan, the cookie's data is sent to the creator's server each time you visit the website or another page where the cookie is monitored (e.g., an ad). This is why permanent cookies are sometimes referred to as "tracking cookies."
A session cookie is temporary and only exists during your visit to a site. These cookies may store data you input and track your actions on the site. Once you leave the site or close your browser, the session cookie is deleted. For example, session cookies are used to remember the items in your cart as you browse other pages, and the products will stay in the cart until you proceed to checkout.
CookieConsent
We use CookieConsent on our website to manage your cookie preferences. This tool enables you to accept or reject cookies according to your preferences.
CookieConsent gives you the option to select which types of cookies you want to allow, such as functional, analytical, and advertising cookies. Consent is collected through a banner that appears when you first visit our site.
You can modify your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the relevant link at the bottom of the page.
What Happens if I Reject Cookies?
If you choose to reject cookies that require consent, they will not be used. Should you withdraw your consent, we will stop using specific cookies and delete them (if they are our cookies). However, rejecting functional cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of the website. You can also opt-out of analytical cookies, but this will restrict our ability to improve the site based on your feedback.
We cannot remove third-party cookies. To remove them, you can adjust your browser settings. Opting out of advertising cookies will not reduce the number of ads you see, but the ads will not be personalized.
