Cookies

Just like everybody else, we also use cookies.

What actually are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are generated by our e-shop and subsequently stored in your internet browser. When you subsequently return to our e-shop, your browser sends the stored cookie back and provides our e-shop with all the information that you previously entered there. For example, it remembers the goods that you had placed in your shopping basket.

However, cookies always have a limited validity. Moreover, you can also personally delete them from your browser. We differentiate between 2 basic types of cookies: first-party cookies and third-party cookies. Cookies can be used for various purposes (analytical, preferential, authentication cookies and so on.) You can find more information about cookies, for example, on Wikipedia. This article also explains this issue in an easy to understand way.

Put simply: basic cookies work to simplify the shopping in our e-shop.

 

What cookies do we use?

1.) First-party cookies

• We mainly use short-term cookies that are necessary for the functioning of our e-shop. 
• Cookies that accelerate the uploading of our pages and optimise the functioning of the website itself (for example, Google fonts and so on). You can block these cookies (see the instructions below). Nevertheless, it is possible that the page will not work quickly enough or that other small problems may appear (the disordered graphic layout of the website and so on). 
• First-party cookies – long-term cookies that are used by the Google Analytics program. We collect the data completely anonymously and it is not possible to identify you using it. 

2.) Third-party cookies

• For the purposes of internal analysis – we use the Smartlook tool by Smartsupp.com s.r.o., Company Registration Number: 03668681, for product analysis in order to ascertain how visitors use our e-shop and how to constantly improve it. The recorded information is anonymous – we do not ascertain any IP addresses or record any of the data that you have entered into the forms in our e-shop. You can deactivate the recording of your movements in the e-shop, if you wish. 

 

How can you delete and administer your cookies?

It is entirely up to you which cookies you want to store in your internet browser. You can set up the extent to which your web browser accepts cookies.

Below, you will find a list of the most frequently used browsers along with a link to instructions on how to set up the cookies in your given browser.

• Chrome 
• Firefox

Another way of rejecting cookies is to open an anonymous window in your browser.

Do you hate personalised advertisements? You know how it goes. You spend a while browsing a page with a certain theme and then you suddenly see advertisements with thematic products virtually everywhere. Google now offers the option of deactivating personalised advertisements. You can find the necessary settings on the page for Google Ad Settings.

As a final option, we would like to mention the highly interesting Youronlinechoices.com page, where you can learn a lot of interesting information not only about behaviourally targeted advertising. The site includes a useful tool, thanks to which you can block some companies’ cookies on your browser.
