Analytics, Cookies & Advertising

Google Tag Manager (GTM)

We use Google Tag Manager to deploy and manage marketing and analytics tags on our site without changing our codebase. GTM itself does not collect personal information; rather, it enables the loading of other tags (such as the ones listed below) that may collect data as described in this policy.

Google Ads (Remarketing & Conversion Tracking)

We use Google Ads to show ads to people who have visited our site and to measure ad performance. Google may use cookies and device identifiers to serve, personalize, and measure ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Data processed can include cookie IDs, device identifiers, IP address, page views, and events (e.g., purchases or lead submissions).

Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads & UET)

We use Microsoft Advertising and its Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag to understand how visitors engage with our site, measure conversions, and deliver relevant ads on Microsoft properties (including Bing) and partner sites. This involves the use of cookies and similar technologies to collect pseudonymous usage data.

Meta (Facebook & Instagram) – Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook and Instagram campaigns, build audiences, and deliver ads that are more relevant to you. The Pixel may collect information such as page URLs, actions taken (e.g., add-to-cart, checkout), and hashed identifiers where applicable.

Your Choices & Controls

  • Consent (where required): In regions where consent is required, we only set non-essential cookies (including advertising/remarketing tags) after you provide consent via our cookie banner. You can withdraw or update your preferences at any time using the banner or site settings.
  • Browser & Device Controls: You can disable or delete cookies in your browser settings and reset advertising identifiers in your device settings.
  • Platform Settings: Manage personalized ads in your accounts, for example:
  • Industry Opt-Outs: You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies at optout.aboutads.info.
  • Global Privacy Control (GPC): If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will respect it as required by applicable law.

Information Sharing

We do NOT sell your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With service providers who help operate our business (payment processors, shipping companies, tag/analytics vendors)
  • With advertising and measurement partners (e.g., Google, Microsoft, Meta) to the extent necessary to run campaigns and measure results, using cookies, identifiers, or aggregated/hashed data as applicable
  • When required by law or to protect our legal rights
  • In the event of a business transfer or merger
  • With your explicit consent for other purposes

Some privacy laws consider certain disclosures for cross-context behavioral advertising to be a "sale" or "sharing." Where applicable, you may have the right to opt out of such "sale" or "sharing." See Your Choices & Controls above or contact us using the details below.
