WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is visited. Similar technologies, such as local storage or tracking pixels, may also be used. They can support essential website functions, remember preferences, measure website usage or enable advertising features.

Where consent is required, optional cookies and similar technologies are used only after the User has made an affirmative choice.

CATEGORIES OF COOKIES

Strictly necessary cookies

These support functions requested by the User, including website security, language selection where essential, customer login, shopping cart, checkout and order processing. The WooCommerce store may use technical cookies such as woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart and wp_woocommerce_session_*, depending on the functions in use. Such cookies do not require prior consent when they are strictly necessary, but their use must be disclosed.

Preference and functional cookies

These may remember non-essential choices and improve the browsing experience. Consent is obtained where required.

Analytics cookies

If analytics services are enabled, they may measure visits and interactions with the website. Consent is obtained where legally required, including where the conditions for a consent exemption are not met.

Advertising and marketing cookies

If advertising or remarketing services are enabled, they may measure advertising performance or support personalized advertising. Such non-essential technologies are used only after the required consent has been obtained.

COOKIE CONSENT MANAGEMENT — COOKIEHUB

The website uses CookieHub to display cookie information and manage consent preferences. Visitors can accept or reject optional categories and, where available, customize their choices.

Consent may be changed or withdrawn at any time using the cookie preferences control available on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Cookies that require consent should remain blocked until the relevant consent has been given. CookieHub’s categorization and blocking settings must reflect the actual technologies installed on the website.

PAYMENT SERVICES

The online store may use external payment providers to process transactions. Depending on the payment method selected, the provider may use technologies necessary for secure payment processing and fraud prevention. The provider processes payment information according to its own privacy notice.

PayPal

Where PayPal is offered and selected, PayPal may process transaction and technical information to provide its payment service. See PayPal’s Privacy Statement.

The store may receive payment status and transaction details necessary to fulfill orders, issue refunds and meet legal obligations. This does not mean that full payment card details are stored by the website.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Depending on the website’s active configuration, third-party services may provide analytics, embedded media, social features or advertising functions. Where such services use non-essential tracking technologies, they must be subject to the applicable consent choices.

Only services actually installed and active on the website should appear in the detailed cookie declaration. Their purposes, providers, durations and categories should be checked against the CookieHub scan and the website’s technical configuration.

DETAILED COOKIE DECLARATION

The list describes the observed technologies; the exact retention periods and any additional cookies set during payment, login or other interactions should be checked in CookieHub and the relevant service settings.

Name Storage Purpose

wishlist_cleared_time Cookie Helps manage wishlist state after it is cleared.

Storage periods: CookieHub’s screenshot does not specify the duration of these items. Their actual expiry or persistence must be checked before publishing a complete retention schedule. The list may change when the site’s plugins, checkout services or consent configuration change.

HOW TO CHANGE COOKIE PREFERENCES

Users can review or withdraw their choices at any time through the cookie settings link or control displayed on the website. They can also delete or block cookies through their browser settings, although disabling necessary cookies may prevent login, cart or checkout functions from working correctly.

PERSONAL DATA RIGHTS

Where personal data are processed, Users may exercise the rights available under applicable data protection legislation, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability where applicable. Users may also withdraw consent where processing relies on consent and lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
