What types of cookies are used on this site?
The following types of cookies are used on this site:
Necessary cookies

- Basic functionalities: Necessary cookies are indispensable for our e-commerce site to function properly. They allow you to browse our catalog, view products, add them to the cart, and complete your purchases securely.
- Secure login: When you log into your account on our site, necessary cookies ensure that your session remains active and secure. This prevents you from having to log in again on every new page.

It is important to note that these cookies are enabled by default when you visit our site. They do not require explicit consent, as they are essential for the proper functioning of the site and its services.
Statistical cookies
The primary role of statistical cookies is to collect anonymous information about your browsing behavior. This helps us better understand how you interact with our content, which pages you visit most frequently, and how you use our site as a whole. Specifically, we use Google Analytics, a site analysis tool provided by Google. Here is how the use of statistical cookies works:
- Anonymous data collection: When you visit our site, Google Analytics activates cookies that collect information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you visit. This data is anonymous and does not allow us to identify you personally.
- Comprehensive analysis: The information collected by statistical cookies helps us gain an overview of how our site is used. We can learn which pages are the most popular, which sections are less visited, and how visitors interact with our content.
- Improving the user experience: By better understanding your preferences and behavior, we are able to improve the user experience on our site. We can tailor our content based on what you most enjoy, allowing us to better meet your needs.
It is important to note that statistical cookies do not store personally identifiable information. We remind you that the data collected is aggregated and anonymous. If you do not want Google Analytics to record your behavior, we recommend downloading and installing the following browser add-on to disable data collection: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies are used to collect anonymous information about your browsing behavior and interactions with our content. This information helps us better understand your preferences and personalize your future interactions with our site. Specifically, we use marketing cookies for two main purposes:
- Tracking advertising campaigns: When you interact with our ads on platforms like Google Ads and Facebook, cookies are activated to record these interactions. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, measure the number of clicks, views, and actions taken in response to our ads. This information helps us optimize our marketing strategies and offer you more relevant content.
- Retargeting (remarketing): Marketing cookies also allow us to implement retargeting campaigns. When you visit our site and interact with certain pages or products, these actions are recorded via cookies. Later, when you browse other sites or online platforms, such as Google or Facebook, you may see our ads specifically tailored to your interests based on your browsing history on our site.
It is important to note that marketing cookies do not store personally identifiable information such as your name, address, or contact information. The data collected is anonymous and does not allow us to identify you directly.
Why are marketing cookies useful to us?
We use these cookies to present targeted offers both within our site and outside of it when you browse other sites. These cookies can also be used to determine if a user has visited our site after seeing one of our ads, for example. The purpose of these cookies is to assess our audience and our ability to convert your visit into interaction, whether on our site or our app or after visiting them. Cookies in this category help us count the number of visitors to our website and track user paths. This process allows us to adapt and improve the functioning of our site to make it easier to access the information you are looking for.
