Language preferences and country detection

At unlocalized website entry addresses, we choose a language using your saved preference, then your browser language, and finally an approximate country inferred from your IP address. The country lookup runs locally on our server; we do not send your IP address to a third-party geolocation service or request precise device location. Direct links to language-specific pages keep their language.

When you manually select a language, the cmfashion_language cookie stores that choice for up to one year. It is used only for language selection, not advertising. You can change it using the language menu or remove it in your browser settings. IP country estimates may be inaccurate, particularly with a VPN.
