1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information such as your login session, language preference, consent choices, and how you interact with pages.

We also use similar technologies, including local storage and analytics identifiers, where they serve the same kind of purpose.

  • Keep the website secure and working correctly
  • Maintain account sessions and checkout flows
  • Remember language, consent, and interface preferences
