The cookies sc_s and sc_v are ours and feed our own site usage measurement, stored on our servers. They are not shared with third parties or used for advertising. We record pages visited, products opened, cart and checkout steps, visit duration, device class (phone, tablet or computer) and traffic source. We do not store the IP address or the browser identifier. If you place an order, that visit is linked to your customer account so we can understand the journey that led to the order. Browsing detail is deleted after 180 days and the visit summary after 400 days.
2.4. Marketing cookies (consent)
Only with your consent under the "Marketing" category do we load the advertising pixels from Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and Google Ads. They measure how our campaigns perform and let us show you our ads on other sites and social networks. These cookies are set by those providers and their durations are defined by them; without consent, they are not loaded. You can withdraw your consent at any time under "Cookie settings" in the footer.
