What are cookies?
A cookie is a set of information that a website you visit stores on your computer in the form of a file. They are used for a website to obtain information about some of your settings and online behavior (such as email address, browser settings, and the like).
When you revisit the same page, the web browser sends back the cookies that belong to it. This enables the page to display and the browsing experience to be tailored to your needs and preferences.
It’s important to emphasize that a website cannot access other files on the user’s computer or gain access to information that the user has not previously provided. This is a common practice used on over 90% of websites. According to the European Union directive, we are obligated to request your consent before storing “cookies.”
What types of cookies do we use?
Temporary cookies (Session cookies) – they are stored on the computer and are automatically deleted after closing the web browser. They enable the website to obtain temporary data, such as comments or the shopping cart’s status.
Persistent cookies – They remain in your web browser even after it’s closed and usually have an expiration date. Our website uses persistent cookies to facilitate access for registered users. They store data such as usernames and passwords, enabling you to use the “remember me” functionality when logging in, so you don’t have to enter your username and password every time you visit our site.
What are first-party cookies?
They come from the website you have visited and can be either temporary or persistent. They allow websites to store data that is used when the user revisits the website.
What are third-party cookies?
There are several external services that store limited cookies for the user (Facebook, Google Analytics, and AdWords). These cookies are not set by our web store and are most often used to assist in understanding user behavior and for marketing purposes.
How to disable cookies?
Each user decides whether they want to allow the storage of cookies on their computer. Storage settings can be configured within the settings of the web browser.
Keep in mind that if you disable cookies, you won’t be able to use some of the features on our website.
