What cookies are

Cookies and similar storage technologies place or read small values on a device to provide functions, remember choices or measure use.

Cookie categories

  • Necessary: required for site operation, security, cart, session, locale and cookie choices. They are always active and do not require consent.
  • Preferences: remember non-essential choices that improve navigation. They are active only with consent.
  • Analytics: help us understand aggregate site use. They are active only with consent.
  • Marketing: measure whether an advertising campaign contributed to a purchase, and support promotional communications. They are active only with consent, and advertising personalization stays disabled.

Non-necessary categories are never preselected. Without an explicit choice, they remain disabled. Where a United States state law treats consented campaign measurement as targeted advertising or as the sharing of personal information, turning off the Marketing category is the opt-out.

Third parties

During payment, the payment provider may set technical and anti-fraud cookies required to secure the transaction.

Google Analytics collects usage statistics only after consent to the Analytics category. Google signals and advertising personalization are disabled.

Google Ads measures purchases attributed to campaigns only after consent to the Marketing category. It receives value, currency, a pseudonymous transaction identifier and, for enhanced conversions, the SHA-256 hash of the email address normalized on our server. The tag does not transmit the plain-text email, name, postal address or dedication content. Advertising personalization remains disabled.

We do not use third-party analytics or marketing cookies without explicit consent. If consent is withdrawn, measurement is disabled and accessible Analytics cookies are removed.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for money. Some United States state privacy laws define ‘sale’ or ‘sharing’ broadly enough to cover consented campaign measurement of this kind; where that applies to you, withdrawing Marketing consent is the opt-out.

Changing or withdrawing consent

Use ‘Manage cookie preferences’ in the footer at any time to change or withdraw optional choices. Withdrawal does not affect prior lawful processing and does not disable necessary storage.

Turning off the Marketing category stops Google Ads campaign measurement, including the hashed-email enhanced conversion. Turning off the Analytics category disables Google Analytics and our own analytics storage. This is also the control to use where a United States state law treats that measurement as targeted advertising or as the sharing of personal information.
