Cookie Policy — United States
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are, what we use them for, and the choices available to U.S. visitors. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use related technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage. Together we refer to these as "cookies" in this notice.
2. Categories We Use
| Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session management, authentication, shopping basket, security, fraud prevention. Required for the site to function. |
| Functional | Remember preferences such as your selected shop region (US/EU) and remember-me settings. |
| Analytics | Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics so we can improve the shop. |
| Advertising / cross-context behavioral | Currently not used. If we begin using such cookies, this Policy will be updated and a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism will be made available. |
3. Your Choices
- Browser controls: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair site functionality.
- Global Privacy Control: we honor browser-based GPC signals as an opt-out of any sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, where applicable under California, Colorado, and Connecticut law.
- Do Not Track: we do not currently respond to Do Not Track ("DNT") browser signals because no industry standard has been adopted.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors at checkout). These are governed by the respective providers' privacy notices.
5. Retention
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted; we set them for no longer than necessary.
