Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They help the online store remember your preferences (e.g. language choice, shopping cart contents) and collect statistics to improve the store.
Necessary cookies (always active)
These cookies are essential for the online store to function. Without them, the shopping cart and login will not work.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
authjs.session-token | Login session | Session |
authjs.csrf-token | Security (CSRF protection) | Session |
authjs.callback-url | Login redirect | Session |
hmk-cookie-consent | Remembering your cookie preferences | 12 months |
NEXT_LOCALE | Language preference | 12 months |
Necessary cookies do not require your consent, as they are technically required for providing the service (e-Privacy Directive Art 5(3)).
Analytics cookies (with your consent)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the online store - which pages are viewed and how products are searched for. We use this information to improve the user experience.
| Cookie | Service | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishing unique visitors | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintaining session state | 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishing unique visitors | 24 hours |
Analytics cookies are only activated with your consent. Without consent, Google Analytics does not set any cookies.
We use Google Analytics 4 with GTM Consent Mode v2: no data is collected and no cookies are set before your consent.
Marketing cookies (with your consent)
Marketing cookies enable us to show you more relevant advertising in other online channels.
| Cookie | Service | - | - |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not currently used | - | - | - |
If we add marketing cookies in the future, we will update this policy and request separate consent.
Third-party services
Askly chat
The customer support chat uses the Askly service. Askly may set technical cookies for the chat function to operate. We classify this as a necessary service (customer support), not marketing.
Payment services
During the payment process, Everypay and PayPal may set their own cookies on their domains. These cookies are governed by those companies' own privacy policies.
