#1: DO WE USE COOKIES AND WHAT ARE THEY?
Our store, like almost all other websites, uses cookies.
Cookies are small text files stored on your end device (e.g. computer, tablet, smartphone) that can be read by our IT system (first-party cookies) or by third-party IT systems (third-party cookies). Certain information can be saved and stored in cookies, which IT systems can then access for specific purposes.
Some of the cookies we use are deleted after your browser session ends, i.e. when you close it (so-called session cookies). Other cookies are stored on your end device and allow us to recognise your browser the next time you visit the site (persistent cookies).
