8. Cookies and Website Technologies
Our website uses cookies and related technologies to support website functionality, shopping features, security, and certain business operations.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit.

Essential website functionality: Supporting website navigation, security, login sessions, and other necessary functions.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect shopping cart functionality, checkout, account access, or other website features.

Our website relies on third-party hosting, payment, and technology providers that maintain their own security practices.
