What are cookies

They allow the website to "remember" your actions and preferences (e.g. cart contents, language, login) for a period of time. Similar technologies (pixels, local storage, SDKs) are treated in this policy in the same way as cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. All other cookies are activated only after your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
