Introduction
Please read this Policy together with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
This Cookie Policy provides you with the information, which explains what types of cookies we use, why we use cookies, how cookies enable the Site to function properly, so that you may not be able to experience the full functionality of the Site if you disable cookies.
All definitions used hereto have the same meaning as defined in the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
1. What are Cookies
Cookies are text files, containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your browsing device (such as a computer or smartphone) when you visit the websites. Cookies can be recognized by the website that downloaded them — or other websites that use the same cookies. This helps websites to know if the browsing device has visited them before. The cookies allow the website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time. That means that you do not have to reset the preferences for every visit. Like many other websites or Internet service providers, we use cookies to improve user experience.
2. What are Cookies used for?
Cookies are used for lots of different purposes, like helping us understand how you use the Site, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, making our Site work as you would expect, remembering your preferences and settings, and generally improving your browsing experience. Cookies can also help to ensure that the advertisement you see online is more relevant to your interests.
3. What types of Cookies do we use?
We may categorize cookies we use in five types:
Necessary cookies help to make the Site usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the Site. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies, thus, they are always active and cannot be deactivated in our cookie banner.
Statistic cookies help us to understand how Users interact with the Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. Those cookies do not provide us with the information that can identify you as an individual. We also call these cookies “Analytics” on our cookie banner.
Preference cookies enable the Site to remember information that changes the way the Site behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in.
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across the Site. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers. We also call these cookies “Advertisement” on our cookie banner.
Unclassified cookies are cookies that haven’t been classified into any category, because of technical reasons. Please be aware that we do not collect unclassified cookies intentionally. Once it becomes technically possible, these cookies will be classified into a specific category without any delays.
You can easily manage your cookie preferences. Please visit the cookie banner and easily check or update your consent for certain types of cookies.
4. Third-party cookies
Some of the cookies we described above are provided by third parties via Shopify platform. They help us to use the Shopify integrations to improve the Site functionality, receive users’ feedback, and collect analytics. You can disable those cookies in our cookie banner.
Please note that we do not transfer any data to third parties, third-party pixels collect cookies on their own.
5. How long will cookies stay on your browsing device?
The length of time cookies will stay on your browsing device depends on the category of cookies. The cookies we use will stay until you delete all cache from the browser or the cache is automatically deleted by your browser instruments.
6. How to manage cookies
You may at any time change or withdraw your cookie consent at the cookie banner. Please use the functionality "Customize cookies". You can easily manage your consent status and stay informed about the cookies we collect from you.
If you disable the cookies that the Site uses, this may impact your user experience.

Please note that doing this may have a negative impact on the usability of many websites.
7. Do Not Track
Many web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” functionality that can release Do Not Track requests to the websites. Currently, major Internet standardization organizations have not established policies to specify how websites should handle these requests.
If you enable “Do Not Track” or other similar functionality your browser may provide, we will not change the way we collect and use your Personal Data as described in this Cookies Policy. However, we reserve the right to respond to your “Do Not Track” request and stop the collection of your Personal Data without prior notice to you.
