Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Disabling essential cookies will significantly impair your ability to use our website. Key features such as maintaining your session, remembering your cart items, and accessing secure areas of the website may not function properly. We strongly recommend keeping essential cookies enabled.
Analytics Cookies Disabling analytics cookies will prevent us from understanding how you use our website and from making improvements based on user behavior data. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected, but you will not contribute to our website optimization efforts.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked.
