Marketing & Advertising

Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our store, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our site.

We use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google LLC, to collect aggregated information about site traffic and usage — such as pages viewed, time on site, approximate geographic region, and how visitors arrived at our site. Google Analytics 4 uses cookies and similar identifiers to distinguish visitors across sessions. IP addresses collected through Google Analytics 4 are anonymized by default and are not stored by Google. We do not use this data to identify you personally.

Information generated by Google Analytics 4 may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States and other countries. Google's use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You may opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or by using your browser's cookie controls.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as necessary to:

  • Provide our Services
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Resolve disputes and enforce policies

Analytics data collected through Google Analytics 4 is retained according to the retention period configured in our Google Analytics settings, after which it is automatically deleted or aggregated.

Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored outside your country, including in the United States and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. This includes information processed by Google Analytics 4.
