2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential/Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are vital for our website to function properly. They allow you to add products to your shopping cart, proceed to checkout, and securely complete your purchase. Without these cookies, our e-commerce features would not work.

They collect anonymous information, such as which carpets are most popular, how visitors navigate the site, and if they encounter any errors. We use this data to improve our website's performance and design, making it easier for you to find and buy the perfect carpet. We may use a third-party analytics service, such as Google Analytics, for this purpose.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences. For example, they might remember your login details, your preferred currency, or the filters you've applied when searching for a specific type of carpet. This enhances your browsing experience and makes it more personalized.
