- Performance Cookies: Help us monitor website speed, page responsiveness, technical performance, error rates, and website availability to improve reliability and performance.
- Advertising and Marketing Cookies: Where enabled and legally permitted, used to measure advertising effectiveness, understand campaign performance, limit repeated advertisements, attribute visits or purchases to advertising campaigns, and present more relevant promotional content.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies and legal obligations.
7. Cookies Used for Shopping Cart and Checkout
