Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website.
For example, we and our Service Providers may use these cookies to authenticate and identify our customers when they use our websites and applications so we can provide our service to them. They also help us to enforce our Website Terms of Use and Terms and Conditions of Business, prevent fraud and maintain the security of our service.
Without these cookies, services you have requested, such as shopping carts, cannot function properly.
As these cookies are strictly necessary, we do not seek your consent for their use. However, we undertake to obtain your explicit consent before placing or activating any other type of cookie (analytical, functional, etc.). You can manage your preferences and withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie preference centre accessible on this site via a floating button in the bottom left corner of every page accessible on this site.

The information collected through these cookies enables us to improve your experience and make our platform more intuitive and efficient.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow us to provide you with additional features on our platform, such as personalisation and remembering your stored preferences. Some functional cookies may also be strictly necessary, but not all of them necessarily fall into that category. These cookies may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Our website integrates content provided by third-party services, such as videos. When you visit a page containing this type of content, these providers may set cookies on your device. These cookies, known as third-party cookies, come from domains other than our own.
Third-party cookies related to embedded videos, particularly those from YouTube, ensure the proper functioning of the player, adjust the video quality based on your connection, and remember your preferences, including your consent. Some also store data on the videos you’ve watched to personalize your experience or analyse your browsing for advertising purposes.
