Cookie policy<\/h1>\n

Cookies are small pieces of information stored by websites on the visitor's device, specifically within the web browser. These cookies record certain user interactions with the website, such as login details, language preferences and shopping cart contents. They are essential for remembering users' specific settings or preferences for future visits and can even collect information about browsing behaviour, which is useful for personalising content or ads.<\/p>\n

Although cookies store valuable data, they usually identify machines (browsers) and not individuals. They do this through unique identifiers. As a result, a user visiting the same website from a different browser is often seen as a new user, as a new cookie is created. These cookies can be accessed and set through the browser settings, where users can also delete them if they wish.<\/p>\n
