Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our site, a cookie banner gives you the option to accept or decline optional (analytics) cookies. Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them.
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, which will cause the cookie banner to reappear on your next visit.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the website (such as the shopping cart or account login) from working properly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
