We respect your privacy rights and provide you with full control over the cookies used on our Website.
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to enable you to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas or processing shopping cart selections.

3. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES & PAYMENT PROCESSING
To enable secure payment processing and fraud prevention on our Website, we utilize third-party operational infrastructure provided by Stripe.
When you navigate through the checkout process or interact with payment features, Stripe may deploy necessary cookies and tracking mechanisms directly on your device. These third-party cookies are processed independently by Stripe in accordance with their privacy and operational standards to ensure seamless operational integrity and transactional authentication.

4. COOKIE RETENTION PERIODS
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a “session” or “persistent” cookie, strictly aligned with European data protection principles:
Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically erased when you close your web browser.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them. Retention periods vary based on the specific operational purpose of the cookie, but persistent cookies set by our primary functions will not remain on your device longer than 13 months from the date consent was granted, in accordance with applicable guidelines.
