This Cookie Policy explains how our online shop uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG 2021).

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser when you visit a website. They help us make our shop function properly, remember your preferences, understand how visitors interact with our site, and improve your shopping experience.

We use cookies to manage your shopping cart, remember your login details, analyze our traffic, and serve relevant marketing materials. Some cookies are set directly by us (first-party cookies), while others are set by third-party services we use on our site (third-party cookies).

1. Necessary Cookies (Always Active): These cookies are essential for the core operation of our shop. They enable basic functions like page navigation, securing user login areas, and holding items in your shopping cart. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. They do not require your prior consent. This also includes first-party or third-party cookies used exclusively for secure payment processing (e.g., Stripe or PayPal).

2. Preferences & Functional Cookies: These allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or login status, providing a more personalized shopping experience. This category includes embedded third-party services that enhance site features, such as Google Maps for store location displays.

3. Analytics & Statistics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how shoppers interact with our website by collecting information anonymously. We use this data to find technical issues, optimize popular product pages, and improve site performance. This involves third-party analytical tools, such as Google Analytics or similar.

Under European law, the legal basis for processing your data via cookies depends on the category:

1. For Necessary Cookies, the processing is based on our legitimate interest to provide a functioning website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or to fulfill a contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), such as processing a shopping cart.

2. For all other cookies (Functional, Analytics, and Marketing), the legal basis is your explicit, freely given consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 165 TKG 2021) provided through our cookie banner.

You can reopen our website's cookie consent banner at any time by clicking the banner in the footer of our website to adjust your preferences.

You can also configure your internet browser to block, delete, or alert you about cookies. Please note that if you disable all cookies in your browser, certain parts of our online shop may no longer function correctly.
