What are cookie policy and how do they work?

Cookies are text-type files containing a small amount of information. They are downloaded to your device when you visit our website. Cookies are used to enhance website browsing, remember your preferences, and improve the user experience. They can also help present relevant ads based on your interests.

Depending on the circumstances, we may use:
  • Session Cookies: Activated during your current browsing session and deleted when you close your browser.
  • Permanent Cookies: Stored on your device for a duration specified in the cookie.
  • Third-party cookies: Used by authorized third-party entities.

Cookies used on our website are typically classified according to the UK International Chamber of Commerce’s Cookie Guide.

Category 1: Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies enable essential website functions, such as saving shopping cart data or displaying regional content. Accepting these cookies is necessary for website use. Blocking all cookies in your browser settings may prevent our site from functioning correctly.  

Category 2: Performance Cookies

These cookies collect anonymous analytical data about website usage (e.g., most visited pages, navigation links, visitor count). This information is aggregated. Third parties may manage performance cookies on our website, but they are not permitted to use them for purposes beyond this policy. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the placement of these cookies.

Category 3: Function Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember your choices (e.g., username, language) to improve your experience. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the placement of these cookies.  

Category 4: Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used for marketing purposes to provide relevant information, limit ad views, and measure campaign effectiveness. They are usually placed by our services or advertising networks with our permission. They track your visit to our Website, and this information may be shared with other organizations, including advertisers, to show you targeted content and/or ads on other websites. Advertising cookies often rely on features provided by other organizations and do not contain personally identifiable information, only the pages you visited on our site. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the placement of these cookies.  

Third-party cookies of the Cookie Policy

To optimize your website experience and understand visitor needs, we may use third-party applications or functions (e.g., advertising networks, traffic analysis). These third parties might place cookies beyond our direct control, which are likely analysis/performance or advertising cookies. However, they are not allowed to use these cookies for any purpose not outlined in this policy. All collected information is aggregated and anonymous. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the placement of these cookies.

How do I allow, block, or delete cookies?

Browsers are typically set to allow cookies by default but can be configured to block some or all cookies or to notify you before a cookie is placed. You can easily remove installed cookies via your browser’s settings. Refer to your browser’s “Help” section and search for “Cookies” for instructions on managing them. Disabling all cookies may prevent full website functionality and proper page display.  

Do we detect if users open our emails?

We may detect if users open our emails using a “pixel graphic element” that informs us when an email is opened and may track link or advertisement usage within the email. This helps us understand recipient interests and manage our email communications. The pixel graphic is deleted when the email is deleted. To prevent this tracking, use the “unsubscribe” link in the email. Opting out will stop future emails.  

Your consent

If you do not wish to accept cookies while using our website, you must either:

  • Change your browser configuration to block all or part of cookies.
  • Stop using our website.

Your agreement to our cookie use is implied by clicking an acceptance button, choosing not to refuse cookies, or continuing to browse our site after reviewing our cookie notice. An automatic scroll detection helps us verify continued browsing despite the notice, which we interpret as acceptance.  

Will this cookie policy be changed?

This policy was last updated in September 2019. We may update our cookie policy periodically. We suggest checking this page for any changes.

This policy aligns with the European directive requiring user information and consent before placing trackers, with an option to refuse tracking. Consent is valid for up to 13 months, with some trackers being exempt.  

While the EU considered relaxing these rules by relying on browser settings for automatic cookie acceptance, the current directive emphasizes explicit consent.

We recommend checking this page periodically for updates.
