Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which categories of cookies our store uses, why we use them, and how you can manage or withdraw your choices at any time. It forms part of, and should be read together with, our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we handle your personal data.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit it. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. They allow the site to recognize your device on return visits, remember your actions and preferences, and support certain features of the store, such as keeping items in your cart or keeping you signed in.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Depending on their purpose and duration, the cookies used on our store fall into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: these are essential for the store to function and cannot be switched off. They enable core features such as the shopping cart, secure checkout, account login, and fraud and security protections. Because they are essential to providing the service you request, these cookies do not require your consent.
- Functional cookies: these remember choices you make to give you enhanced, more personal features, such as your preferred language, region, or currency (our store operates in EUR). They make your visit more convenient but are not strictly necessary for the site to work.
- Analytics cookies: these help us understand how visitors interact with our store, for example which pages are visited most often, so that we can measure and improve the performance and usability of the site. These cookies are only set with your consent.
- Marketing cookies: these are used to make advertising more relevant to you and your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are only set with your consent.
3. Legal Basis for the Use of Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure online store, as permitted under applicable data protection and e-privacy rules in Spain. All other categories of cookies — functional, analytics, and marketing — are only placed on your device once you have given your consent through the cookie banner described below, in line with applicable Spanish and EU data protection law.
4. Consent and How to Withdraw It
On your first visit to our store, a cookie banner will ask you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customize your choice by category. Your preferences are recorded and applied on future visits.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings available on our site. In addition, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies already stored on your device. Please note that if you choose to disable certain cookies, some parts of the store may not function as intended.
5. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Cookies are generally classified by how long they last:
- Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, either until they expire or until you delete them manually, depending on their purpose.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some of the analytics and marketing cookies on our store may be set by third-party service providers who help us operate certain features of the site, such as measuring traffic or delivering advertising. These providers may process the information collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies. We only allow such cookies to be set once you have given your consent, as described in Section 4.
7. Your Rights
Because cookies may involve the processing of personal data, you have the right to access, rectify, and erase your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos) if you believe your rights have been infringed. For more information on how we handle your personal data and how to exercise these rights, please see our Privacy Policy.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
