2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They enable the site to remember information about your visit, such as your language preference, login status, or items in your shopping cart. Cookies can be “session” cookies that expire when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies that remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.

5. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to collect anonymous data about how visitors use the site, which pages are most popular, and how users navigate through our content.

The data collected is aggregated and anonymized. You can opt‑out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt‑Out Browser Add‑on or by disabling cookies in your browser.

6. Social Media Cookies

When you use our social sharing buttons or view embedded social media content, cookies are set by the respective platforms. These cookies allow the platform to recognize that a user has interacted with a shared post or a social media widget. The main platforms we integrate with are:

• Instagram – sets ig_user and ig_session cookies for login and personalization of Instagram embeds.
• Facebook – sets fr, sb, and datr cookies to identify users and provide personalized content when interacting with Facebook plugins.

These cookies do not store personal data on our servers; they are managed by the respective social media companies. You can control these cookies by adjusting the privacy settings on your Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest accounts.
