Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).

2.3 Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our Platform. This helps us improve the site.
- Internal analytics: We track page visits, referral sources, and user interactions through our own analytics system (visit tracking). This data is anonymised and used only for improving our services.
- We currently do not use third-party analytics services like Google Analytics. If we introduce them in the future, this policy will be updated.
3. Local Storage & Session Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser Local Storage and Session Storage for:
- Product comparison list: Your selected products for comparison are stored locally so they persist across page navigations.
- Cart data: Your shopping cart items are stored in the server-side session.
Local Storage data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear it through your browser settings.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our Platform may include embedded content or links to third-party services that may set their own cookies:
- Font services: Google Fonts may be loaded for typography, which may involve Google's cookies.
- CDN services: Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for CSS/JS libraries may set performance cookies.
- Social media: If you interact with social media buttons/links (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), those platforms may set their own cookies.
We have no control over third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective third-party privacy policies for details.
