Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to ensure website functionality, analyze performance, protect website forms, and improve user experience.
These may include:
- Essential cookies required for shopping cart, checkout, account access, and other core website functions
- Essential security technologies used to prevent fraud, spam, abuse, and automated submissions
- Analytics tools used to understand website usage and performance

You may manage optional technologies through the cookie-preference controls available on our website or through your browser settings. Essential technologies required for website security and core functionality may remain active because disabling them could prevent certain website features from functioning properly or securely.
Cloudflare Turnstile
We use Cloudflare Turnstile on certain website forms, including newsletter subscription forms, to help distinguish legitimate visitors from automated bots, prevent abuse, and maintain website security.
When Turnstile operates, Cloudflare may process technical signals from your device, browser, and internet connection. These signals may include your IP address, TLS fingerprint, browser user-agent, the Turnstile site key, and the associated website origin.
Cloudflare states that Turnstile does not access, store, or transmit information entered into protected forms or other page inputs. For the website-security service, Cloudflare processes relevant signals on our behalf. Cloudflare may also process certain signals separately to maintain and improve Turnstile’s bot-detection capabilities.
We use Turnstile only for security, fraud prevention, and bot detection—not for advertising or marketing.
For more information about Cloudflare’s data practices, please review the following:
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Complete transactions
- Provide requested services
- Maintain business, tax, and legal records
- Prevent fraud and protect website security
- Resolve disputes
- Enforce agreements
Third-party service providers may retain information in accordance with their own privacy policies, contractual obligations, and applicable legal requirements.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
