3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, tags, analytics tools, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, improve performance, understand website activity, and support marketing or advertising activities.
Cookies may include:
Essential cookies: Necessary for website operation, account access, security, shopping, order status, and related functionality.
Performance and analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the website and improve functionality.
Functional cookies: Remember preferences and improve user experience.
Marketing cookies: Help measure marketing activity and, where used, deliver or evaluate advertising.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.
Where required by law, we will provide choices regarding cookies and online tracking. If we use technologies that are considered “selling,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under applicable privacy laws, you may opt out through the methods described in this Privacy Policy or through a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” or “Cookie Preferences” link, if available on our website.
We also intend to honor legally required opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, when required by applicable law and when we are able to recognize the signal.

We do not sell personal information for money.

If our practices fall within those definitions, we will provide applicable opt-out rights.
