1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites work efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website operator are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies."

Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, interactive content, and social media features. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why We Use Cookies

Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate correctly, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties may serve cookies through our website for analytics and other purposes.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and to see how visitors move around the website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

• Language preference cookies
• Region and location cookies
• User interface customization cookies

4. How Long Do Cookies Stay on Your Device

The length of time a cookie will stay on your device depends on whether it is a "session" cookie or a "persistent" cookie. Session cookies are temporary and will only stay on your device until you stop browsing the website. Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or are deleted. The expiration period of persistent cookies varies but is typically between thirty (30) days and two (2) years.

5. How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in several ways:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, to alert you when cookies are being sent, or to delete cookies that have already been set. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser and from version to version. You can generally find information about how to manage cookies in your browser's help section.
• Opt-Out Links: Some third-party analytics services provide opt-out mechanisms that allow you to decline the use of their cookies specifically. We encourage you to visit the privacy policies and opt-out pages of any third-party services whose cookies may be used on our website.

Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of our website may not operate correctly or may become unavailable to you.

6. Cookies Used by Third-Party Services

Our website may use third-party services that place their own cookies on your device. These may include:

• Shopify: As our website is hosted on the Shopify platform, Shopify may place cookies on your device for purposes including session management, analytics, and platform functionality. Shopify's use of cookies is governed by Shopify's own privacy policy and cookie policy.
• Analytics Services: We may use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our website. These services collect information about your use of our website, including which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and how you arrived at our website.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals due to the absence of a uniform standard for interpreting and implementing DNT requests. If a universal standard for DNT is established, we will review and update our practices accordingly.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology, or changes in applicable law. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
