7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies to enhance user experience, analyze website traffic, and provide personalized content. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit.

We provide a cookie consent banner to allow users to opt in or out of different types of cookies. You can choose to accept or refuse cookies, except for those strictly necessary for the website's function. For more detailed information about the types of cookies we use, please refer to our Cookie Policy [link to Cookie Policy].

Secure servers and firewalls,

SSL certificates for secure data transmission.

All security measures available through Wix have been enabled to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

While we do our best to protect your data, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to strengthen our protections.
