Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device. They allow the website to recognize the browser or device, to carry information from one page or visit to the next, and to work as intended.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are known as first-party cookies, and cookies set by anyone else are known as third-party cookies. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period, or until you delete them.

Other technologies, such as web beacons, pixel tags, scripts and local storage, can perform similar functions. This policy refers to all of them together as “cookies”.

How we use cookies

We use cookies that are necessary to operate the Site, to provide the features you ask for and to keep the Site secure. Because the Site depends on these cookies, it does not offer a way to switch them off, although you can control them through your browser as described below.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Authentication and account access: cookies that sign you in and keep you signed in for a limited period, and that allow the Site to recognize that you are signed in so that it can show the appropriate account options.
• Security and fraud prevention: cookies that help to protect sign-in and transactions, to confirm that a request comes from the person who started it, to tell people from automated traffic, and to detect and prevent abuse.

Cookies set by third parties

Some cookies are set by service providers that perform functions for us, such as authentication, payment processing, content delivery and security. Certain functions, including sign-in, checkout, billing management and newsletter subscription, take place on pages that those providers operate, and they may set their own cookies when you visit those pages. Their use of cookies, and of the information they collect through them, is governed by their own terms and policies.

We do not control third-party cookies, and we are not responsible for the practices of third parties or for cookies set by the websites that the Site links to.

Managing cookies

Most browsers allow you to view, block and delete cookies through their settings, and some allow you to block third-party cookies only. The steps differ from one browser and device to another, and your browser’s help pages explain the options available. Your choices apply only to the browser and device on which you make them.

If you block or delete cookies, parts of the Site may not work properly. In particular, you may be unable to sign in, to stay signed in or to complete a purchase. Cookies that you delete may be set again the next time you use the Site.

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no common standard for interpreting these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them.

We are not responsible for the effectiveness of any browser, device or third-party setting or tool that you use to manage cookies.

Changes to this policy

We may change the cookies we use, and we may update this policy from time to time. If we begin to use cookies for other purposes, such as analytics or advertising, we will update this policy and, where applicable law requires it, ask for your consent. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date and will take effect when posted.
