1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us remember preferences, analyze traffic, enable e-commerce functions (such as shopping carts and tickets), and deliver relevant content. We may also use similar technologies like pixels, web beacons, or local storage.
2. Cookies We Use
We categorize cookies as follows (based on our site’s WordPress platform and e-commerce features):

– **Analytics/Performance Cookies**: Help us understand visitor behavior, site usage, and improve our services (e.g., through aggregated data on visits and interactions).
– **Marketing/Advertising Cookies**: May be used for targeted advertising, measuring campaign effectiveness, or showing relevant offers (potentially involving third parties).
– **Other/Third-Party Cookies**: From embedded content (e.g., videos, maps, or social features) or service providers. These may include Gravatar for comments or third-party analytics/ad tools.
**Examples of Cookies** (standard for our WordPress-based site):

– Login and authentication cookies (temporary session cookies or longer “Remember Me” cookies lasting up to two weeks).

We may share data collected via cookies with third-party service providers (e.g., for hosting, analytics, payment processing, or advertising). These providers are contractually limited in their use of your data. We do not sell personal information.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
