Cookie Policy
Last updated: 4 August 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They allow the site to remember you, keep your session active, remember your preferences, and in some cases help us understand how the platform is used so we can improve it.
2. Types of cookies we use
2.1 Strictly necessary
Essential for the platform to function. Without them you cannot log in, navigate private areas, or make purchases. By their nature they do not require prior consent.
2.2 Functional
Allow us to remember user preferences such as the selected language or the "remember me" login option. They improve the experience but are not essential.
2.3 Analytical
Help us understand how the platform is used in an aggregated and anonymous way. They are currently not active. When we integrate an analytics service, we will document it here and request your prior consent.
3. Detailed cookie list

4. How to manage cookies
You can manage your consent from the banner that appears the first time you visit the platform. Additionally, all modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies from their settings. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent private areas such as the dashboard or catalog from working correctly.
5. Third-party cookies
Certain services contracted from third parties may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with them:
- Our payments partner, during the payment process, for fraud detection and PCI compliance.
- Cloudflare, for security, content distribution, and anti-bot protection.

If we add additional cookies, we will update this page and request your consent again when applicable.
