Additionally, we work with third-party advertising platforms that may collect and share data related to your engagement with our advertisements, helping us better understand how our marketing efforts perform across different channels. These third parties may collect data using tracking technologies, such as:

  • Companies who support our Site and Services.
  • Our payment processors, who collect payment information (e.g., bank account, credit or debit card information, billing address) to process your payment in order to fulfill your orders and provide you with products or services you have requested, in order to perform our contract with you.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), to help us understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve your user experience. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address, device information, browser type, and interactions with our website. This information is transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

To enhance your privacy, we have implemented IP anonymization in Google Analytics.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in improving our services, provided it does not override your rights and freedoms.

Data Sharing: Google may share information collected through Google Analytics with third parties where required by law or where such third parties process information on Google’s behalf. Google complies with relevant privacy frameworks, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, to ensure adequate levels of data protection.

If you opt in to receive marketing emails from us, we may use limited tracking technologies to ensure the effective delivery and functionality of these emails.

If you have opted out of marketing/tracking cookies but have chosen to receive marketing emails, please note that email-specific tracking will still be applied. This tracking is strictly limited to ensuring the functionality and performance of email campaigns, such as identifying whether an email was delivered or opened. It is not used for broader behavioral analysis or personalization outside the scope of email marketing.
