2. USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar technologies on our website to ensure the proper technical functioning of the webshop and to analyse how visitors use our website. Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your browser.

Essential cookies are necessary for the operation of the website (for example, for the shopping cart, login or security) and cannot be disabled in our systems.

Analytical cookies (such as those used by Google Analytics) help us understand how visitors interact with the site and improve our services.

If Google Ads, Google Tag Manager or similar services are active, these tools may also set cookies to measure conversions or improve the relevance and reach of advertisements, in accordance with Google’s policies.

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies at any time. Disabling certain cookies may affect the usability of the webshop.

For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we rely on your consent to use non-essential cookies and to enable analytics or advertising services. Where applicable, a cookie banner or similar notice is displayed when you first visit our site, allowing you to make a choice. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or cookie preferences.

3. GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how users use the website.

The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website (including your IP address in truncated/anonymized form, where configured) may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States or other countries. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage.

We do not use Google Analytics to identify you personally, and we do not combine Google Analytics data with customer records from the webshop.

You may prevent the installation of cookies by choosing the appropriate settings in your browser; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all features of this website in full.

In addition to Google Analytics, our website may use other services provided by Google LLC, such as:

  • Google Ads (e.g. conversion tracking),

These services may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • measure the performance and reach of advertising campaigns,

The information generated by these tools (such as which pages were visited or whether a conversion occurred) may be transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the USA or other countries. Google processes this data on our behalf in accordance with Google’s privacy and security policies.

We do not use these Google services for creating profiles that produce legal or similarly significant effects for you, and we do not merge Google Ads data with individually identifiable customer records from the webshop beyond what is necessary for measurement and reporting.

For visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we rely on your consent before enabling non-essential cookies and advertising-related tracking, in line with Google’s EU User Consent Policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time (see “Opt-Out Options” below).
