2. Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

3. Analytics & Marketing (The Tiered System)

To respect your privacy while improving our service, we use a transparent two-tier consent system. We do not load invasive trackers unless you explicitly agree.

Tier 1: Privacy-First Analytics (Default)

We collect anonymous data to monitor site health. This is GDPR-compliant ("Legitimate Interest") because:

  • No personal data (PII) is collected
  • No cross-site tracking or ad profiles
  • Data is aggregated and hosted in the EU

Tier 2: Enhanced Analytics & Marketing (Requires Consent)

Only if you click "Accept" on our cookie banner, we enable:

  • Session Recordings: To see how you navigate and fix UX issues.
  • Meta/Facebook Pixel: To measure ad effectiveness and exclude you from seeing ads for products you already bought.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You are in control. You can change your mind at any time:

  • Reset Consent: Clear your browser's "Local Storage" or cookies for this domain to make the banner reappear.
  • Browser Settings: You can block cookies via your browser settings, though this may break the checkout flow.

5. Questions?

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at: [email protected]

Technical Note

Your consent preference is stored locally in your browser (localStorage). Tier 2 scripts (Meta Pixel, Session Recording) are blocked by default and are only loaded dynamically after you click "Accept".
