1. What Are Cookies?Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:

• Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website, such as managing your shopping cart, processing payments, and keeping your session secure.
• Performance and Analytics: These cookies help us understand how visitors use our store, which pages are most popular, and where we might be experiencing technical issues.
• Marketing and Advertising: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They prevent the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensure that ads are properly displayed, and, in some cases, select advertisements that are based on your interests.

3. Types of Cookies Used on Our StoreOur website is built on the Shopify platform. Shopify uses cookies to run the storefront, power the checkout process, and track basic user analytics. Additionally, we may use third-party tools (such as Google Analytics or marketing pixels).The tracking tools we use generally fall into these categories:

• Strictly Necessary: Required for core site functionality (e.g., Shopify's _secure_session_id, cart).
• Analytics: Helps us improve site performance (e.g., Shopify's internal tracking, Google Analytics).
• Targeting/Advertising: Tracks browsing habits to deliver targeted ads (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads).

4. How Can You Control Cookies?You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

• Our Cookie Consent Banner: You can customize your preferences at any time by interacting with the privacy widget/cookie banner provided by our consent management app (Pandectes) on our storefront.
• Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject essential cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be severely restricted (such as the inability to complete a checkout).

5. Updates to This PolicyWe may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
