1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit. Cookies let the site remember things about your visit — your preferences, whether you are logged in, what is in your shopping cart — so that you do not have to set everything up again next time. The same applies to similar technologies like local storage and pixel tags; for simplicity we refer to all of them as "cookies" on this page.
2. Legal basis

Where cookies are not strictly necessary for the website to function, we ask for your consent before placing them on your device.
