Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which categories of cookies we use on this website, why we use them, and how you can manage or withdraw your preferences at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

By continuing to browse or use our website after being presented with our cookie banner and setting your preferences, you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy, except where you have chosen to decline non-essential cookies.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device, remember your actions and preferences over time, and, where applicable, tailor the content or advertising you see.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, such as local storage or pixels, that operate in a comparable way and are covered by this policy. For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this document.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use different categories of cookies for different purposes. Some are essential for our store to function, while others are only used with your consent. The categories below describe the types of cookies you may encounter while browsing our website.

  • Strictly necessary cookies

    These cookies are essential for our website to operate correctly. They enable core functionality such as maintaining your shopping cart, keeping you logged into your account, processing your order, and ensuring the security of the site. Because these cookies are essential to the delivery of the service you request, they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.

  • Functional cookies

    Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, so that we can provide a more personalised and convenient browsing experience. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

  • Analytics cookies

    Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, for example which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter errors. This information helps us improve the performance, usability, and content of our store. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent, and some of them may be placed by third-party service providers acting on our behalf.

  • Marketing cookies

    Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites with the aim of displaying advertising that is relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Like analytics cookies, marketing cookies are only set with your consent and may be placed by third-party partners.

3. Your Consent and How to Manage Cookies

On your first visit to our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner asking for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, and marketing cookies). Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically, as they are required for the website to function and do not require consent.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the French Data Protection Act ("Loi Informatique et Libertés"), and the guidance issued by the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), we will only set non-essential cookies once you have given your consent, and we will not make access to the website conditional on your acceptance of non-essential cookies.

You are free to change your mind at any time. You can review, accept, or withdraw your cookie preferences whenever you like through our cookie settings tool. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it.

In addition to the controls we provide, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies already stored on your device. Please note that if you choose to block or delete certain cookies, some parts of our website, such as the shopping cart or checkout, may not work as intended.

4. How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a "session" or a "persistent" cookie:

  • Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, until they expire or until you delete them manually, and are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits.

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
