‍A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser when you visit a Website. It serves a variety of functions, like enabling us to remember certain information you provide to us as you navigate between pages on the Website. Each cookie expires after a certain period of time depending on what we use it for. Cookies are useful because they help us make your experience on our Websites more enjoyable. They allow us to recognize your device (e.g., your laptop or mobile device) so that we can tailor your experience of our Websites.

Why do we use cookies?
‍We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, remembering your username and password, enabling you to keep items in your shopping basket, letting us analyze how well our Websites are performing, and improving your experience. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate. Other cookies enable us and the third parties we work with to track and target the interests of visitors to our Websites. For example, we use cookies to tailor content and information that we may send or display to you and otherwise personalize your experience while interacting with our Websites and to otherwise improve the functionality of the Services we provide.

For example, these cookies remember which browsers have visited our Websites. The information provided to third parties does not include personal information, but this information may be re-associated with personal information after we receive it. This process helps us manage and track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

If you wish to limit third parties’ collection of information about your use of our Websites, you can opt-out of such at the Digital Advertising Alliance, Network Advertising Initiative, or other websites.
