Cookies, web beacons, tags and similar technologies, whether operated by us or by third parties, serve various purposes on our Site. Depending on the purpose, they may be essential to the operation of our Site and our services or allow us to provide additional functionality such as tracking trends and user movements, analysing demographic information, providing analytics on the Site and for advertising.
According to their purpose, we classify them into the following categories:
Strictly necessary cookies: these cookies are necessary for the functioning of the website. They may store your account ID, order status, personalisation or website tracking. They may also be used for technical purposes such as keeping track of your current shopping session and allowing you to proceed to checkout and pay for your order, or to store information that you have already entered (such as your region and language choices) so that we can offer you relevant and personalised services, products and other communications. Cookies also enable us to fulfil our contractual obligations to third parties and partners if you have made a purchase from our website by following a link to them. It is not possible to manage this type of cookie in our system, and to disable them, you will need to do so across the board via your browser settings.

Analytics tools use tracking cookies to recognise your device and compile information about you. They collect information about the pages you visit and how long you spend on these pages, the IP address you have been assigned, what operating system and web browser you use and which site you visited before visiting our website. If you disable these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and we will not be able to monitor and improve its performance.
