What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences, such as login status, language, and display settings, and they enable essential functionality like secure payments and analytics.

Some cookies are placed directly by us (“first-party cookies”), while others are set by third-party services we integrate with (“third-party cookies”).

1. Essential Cookies

These are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They support functions such as:

  • Saving your cookie preferences

  • Secure login and sessions

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting anonymous data, such as:

  • Which pages are visited

  • How long users stay

  • If any errors occur

Example: Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid)

Note: We use Google Tag Manager to manage scripts; it does not set cookies itself but may load tools that do.
