1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. It lets the site remember things between pages and between visits, such as what is in your cart. This policy also covers similar technologies such as pixels and local storage.

4. Your choice
Where the law requires it, a banner on your first visit lets you accept or refuse everything that is not strictly necessary. Wherever you live, you can opt out of the use of your data for advertising at any time from the Your privacy choices page linked in the footer. Refusing analytics and marketing cookies does not stop you from browsing or ordering.
5. Browser controls
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break the cart and the checkout.
6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honor the Global Privacy Control signal where your browser sends it, and we treat it as an opt out of sale and sharing. We do not respond to Do Not Track signals, because there is no common standard for them.
