In order for our website to function properly, we store small text files (cookies) on your device. Cookies can be categorized according to (i) provenance; (ii) duration; and (iii) purpose, as follows:

(i) First-party cookies are cookies set by the website you are visiting, and only that website can access them. Conversely, a website may use external services that also set their own cookies, which are referred to as third-party cookies.

(ii) Persistent cookies remain stored on the device until the expiry period specified within the cookie itself elapses. On the other hand, session cookies are removed from the device once the web browser has been closed.

(iii) According to function, cookies can, among other things, be divided into strictly necessary cookies (those required for the website's core functionality), preference/functionality cookies (those which enable users to better experience the website), statistics cookies, and marketing cookies.

For example, strictly necessary cookies may be used to store data on items held in the shopping cart during a purchase, functionality cookies may be utilized to remember the website's preferred language, statistics cookies may collect information on how many users visit the website, while marketing cookies may collect information with the aim of displaying personalized advertisements.

On our website, we use solely a first-party strictly necessary cookie, as part of the Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) service. Its exclusive purpose is to ensure that rate limits applied to our website are correctly enforced at the level of an individual visitor, rather than across all users sharing the same IP address, thereby preventing legitimate visitors from being unjustifiably blocked. This cookie is considered as strictly necessary for the secure and proper functioning of our website, which is why your consent is not required for its use.
