1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to remember settings and actions (e.g., items in your shopping cart). We also use similar technologies such as local storage and tracking pixels. Some cookies are set by us (“first-party”), while others are set by third-party services (“third-party”).

2) How we use cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes. Essential cookies are strictly necessary to run our website and e-commerce shop; all other types of cookies require your explicit consent via our cookie banner (powered by CookieAdmin).

Essential (Strictly Necessary)

Required for core functions such as age verification, security, processing payments, cart/checkout management, and consent storage. These operate on the lawful basis of legitimate interests and do not require consent.

Analytics (Optional)

Help us understand platform usage and improve overall user experience (e.g., tracking page views and conversion metrics). Processed only with your active consent. We may enable Google Analytics or similar integration tools.

Marketing (Optional)

Used to display relevant offers or measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns (e.g., Meta/Google ads pixels). Disabled by default and activated only upon receiving your explicit consent.
