They do not track you across other websites, collect personal information for advertising, or build a profile of your browsing activity.
We do not use analytics cookies, marketing cookies, or any third‑party tracking technologies. No cookie consent banner is needed because we do not store or request consent for non‑essential cookies.
You can disable cookies entirely in your browser settings; however, this may prevent the website from functioning correctly (for example, you may not be able to log in or complete a purchase).
