The types of cookies we use include:

• Essential Session Cookies: Crucial for account login sessions, secure authentication (NextAuth), and reCAPTCHA security verifications. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us measure traffic, understand navigation paths, and track product page clicks (e.g. view daily aggregates).
• Preference Cookies: Remember your choices, such as dark mode presets or comparison lists.
