Cookie policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, keep you signed in, and — only with your consent — understand how the site is used.

2. Your choice

On your first visit you see a consent gate with two options:

• Accept all — essential cookies plus analytics (Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager).
• Essential only — only cookies needed for the site to work. Analytics do not load. This is the decline-by-default path for analytics.

You can change your choice at any time using Cookie preferences in the site footer.

3. Cookies we use

• Strictly necessary — authentication session, language preference (NEXT_LOCALE), shopping cart where applicable, and the consent cookie itself (cookie_consent). These cannot be disabled if you want the Site to function.
• Analytics — Google Analytics (with IP anonymisation where configured) and Google Tag Manager, loaded only if you choose “Accept all”. Used to count visits and measure traffic patterns. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies for remarketing.

4. How long cookies last

The consent cookie is stored for up to one year (or until you clear it via Cookie preferences). Session and language cookies last for the browser session or as needed for that feature. Analytics cookies follow Google’s retention settings for the property.
