Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types of cookies we use on our website, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we handle personal data.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow us to recognise your device between visits, remember your preferences, and understand how our store is being used so that we can maintain and improve it.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We use different categories of cookies, each serving a different purpose. Some are essential to the operation of our store, while others are only used with your permission.
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as maintaining the contents of your shopping cart, keeping you securely logged in to your account, and processing your payment when you place an order. Because these cookies are essential to the operation of the store, they do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through our cookie settings.
2.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, so that we can provide you with a more personalised and convenient shopping experience on future visits.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, for example which pages are viewed most often and whether visitors encounter errors. This information helps us identify areas for improvement and measure the overall performance of our store. These cookies are only set with your consent.
2.4 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are only set with your consent and can be declined without affecting your ability to browse or purchase from our store.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website may be placed by third-party services that we use to operate the store, such as payment processing and website analytics providers. These third parties may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control the cookies set by third parties and encourage you to review their respective policies for further information.
4. Legal Basis and Your Consent
As our store operates under Spanish and European Union law, our use of non-essential cookies is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Spanish legislation on information society services and electronic commerce. In line with these requirements, on your first visit to our website we display a cookie banner asking for your consent before any non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, or marketing) are set on your device. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from this consent requirement, as they are indispensable to providing the service you have requested.
5. Managing and Withdrawing Your Consent
You are in control of your cookie preferences and can change them at any time. You may:
- Update your preferences at any time through our cookie settings, accessible via the cookie banner or the relevant link on our website.
- Adjust your browser settings to block, delete, or receive a warning before cookies are stored on your device. Please note that most browsers provide instructions for managing cookies in their help section.
- Withdraw previously given consent to functional, analytics, or marketing cookies at any time, with the same ease with which it was given.
Please be aware that disabling certain cookies, including some functional cookies, may affect the availability or performance of some features of our website.
6. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies are either "session" or "persistent" cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted from your device once you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and will stay until they either expire or are manually deleted by you.
7. Updates 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 our use of cookies.
