Cookie Policy
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, keep you signed in and understand how you use our store.
Session cookies are deleted automatically when your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain on your device until their lifetime expires or you delete them.
This policy also covers comparable technologies such as pixels and local storage, insofar as they store information on your device or access information stored there.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for core functions such as the shopping cart, checkout and customer login. Without them the store does not work reliably. They cannot be switched off and do not store personal data beyond what is necessary to provide the service.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG. No consent is required.

6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies come from services we embed – in particular Shopify as our platform, Google Analytics and Google Ads, Meta, and our payment service providers. These providers are subject to their own privacy terms and we have no direct control over their processing. Our Privacy Policy describes what data is processed and transferred to third countries.
7. Giving, changing and withdrawing consent
On your first visit we show a consent banner that lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies by category. Declining is as easy as accepting.
You can withdraw your consent at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and takes effect for the future; the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand is unaffected.
Independently of this, you can delete cookies in your browser settings or restrict their storage generally. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair the functioning of the store.
