Analytics and Statistics Cookies: We use these to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily. All data is aggregated and remains anonymous.
Secure Payment and Fraud Prevention Cookies (Third-Party): As part of our commitment to secure commerce, our payment processor, Stripe, may set cookies that are necessary for processing transactions, verifying identity, and detecting/preventing fraudulent activities.
