Cookies

When you visit our website(s), we use "cookie" technology to make that experience simple, personalized and meaningful. Cookies are small pieces of information that are issued to your computer or device when you visit a website and which store and sometimes track information about your use of the website.

Some cookies last only for your browsing session and expire when you close your browser. Other cookies remain for longer and allow us to recognize you when you return.

We use cookies to:

• create a secure log-in session for visitors to our website(s);
• recognize returning visitors to help us understand the number of unique users and ensure we maintain sufficient capacity;
• customize elements of the promotional layout and/or content of our website(s);
• collect statistical information about how our visitors use our website(s) so we can improve performance and identify the most popular sections;
• store your product selections in a shopping basket (if applicable);
• gather information through our advertising partners about the pages you visit on our website(s) and across the internet, allowing us to place you into an "interest segment" and serve interest-based advertisements relevant to you.

Without these cookies, advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to your interests.

Some cookies used on our website(s) are set directly by us, while others are set by third parties providing services on our behalf.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may change your browser settings to block cookies or alert you when cookies are being set. More information is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. Please note that blocking cookies may limit your ability to take full advantage of our website(s).

You can find more information about the main cookies we use and their purposes here (your site should link to a cookie table).

Third-Party Cookies

Certain cookies are set by third parties on our website(s) or via third-party technologies integrated into our site. These are primarily used for:

• website analytics;
• performance measurement;
• ad targeting and attribution;
• understanding user interaction with content.

These third parties may collect information such as pages visited, links clicked, and time spent on our site. They may also set tracking gifs—tiny image files in web pages or newsletters—to understand which content is viewed.

Details on how to block or restrict third-party cookies can be found on each provider's website.

Use of Cookies in Connection With the AI Assistant

Our website includes an interactive AI assistant powered by the OpenAI Assistants API.

OpenAI does not use cookies in connection with the API, and no cookies are set or read by the AI model itself.

However, while you interact with the AI assistant, our website may continue to use certain cookies that support:

• maintaining your session on our website;
• enabling necessary website functions;
• supporting website performance and security;
• measuring general usage analytics related to how visitors interact with the Website interface.

These cookies are associated with the functioning of our website and user interface, not with the AI assistant or OpenAI.

You may restrict or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings, but essential cookies may be required for the website — and features such as the AI assistant interface — to function properly.
