Cookies

The website may also use “cookies” in certain areas to collect information. A “cookie” is a very small piece of information that tells our site that you have visited previously. The website will send the “cookie” file to your browser. If your browser is set to accept cookies, the “cookie” will be stored as a file on your computer’s hard drive, taking up less than 200 bytes of disk space. The “cookie” acts like an identity card each time you visit our site. Only the website can read the “cookie”; we cannot read “cookies” sent by other websites.

The cookies we use fall into two categories.

Necessary Cookies: Necessary cookies are required to enable technical site functionality and to provide the services explicitly requested by you. This includes as an example service such as your selected country and language, keeping you logged in, providing security and fraud prevention, having your digital shopping bag and wish list items stored while you browse, remembering volume settings, and you getting access to secure areas of the website. This category of cookies cannot be disabled and does not require a consent.
